This week we welcome Historian of religion and belief, award winning author and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, Dr. Francis Young who joins us to rage that Medieval Paganism didn't go underground in the Middle Ages.
He talks to Paul and Kyle about how the 'Green Man' is invented in the 1930s, how Christianity is just as weird as anything Paganism might offer and how clinging to this myth is actually damaging our understanding of religion and the medieval period.
If you'd like to know more about this subject then why not buy a copy of one of his books from the History Rage Bookshop.
