A Better Ride Than A Palfrey

Bitching about Medieval Literature is a podcast that reads medieval literature in translation with accompanying commentary, complaints, explanatory notes, and, well...bitching. In season 1, we read The Decameron, a 14th century Italian story collection set during the Black Death. In season 2, we read a collection of 12th-14th century Welsh stories that draw on folklore, Arthuriana, and Celtic mythology. There's also bonus episodes!
