On this weeks episode I am honored to have a conversation with Dr. Cheryl White a professor of history at Louisiana State University at Shreveport. In university her major fields of interests were medieval and early modern Europe, the history of Christianity, local and regional history, historical folklore and the Shroud of Turin and religious relics. She is now the author of eight historical nonfiction books, including “The Shroud in the Third Millennium: Confronting the Limits of Knowledge” and “A Survey History of Britain,” released in 2020.

In this weeks episode I am interviewing Jack Markwardt who majored in history and languages at Rutgers University and received his Juris Doctor degree, cum laude, from Albany Law School where he had served as an editor and author of the Law Review.

His recently-published book, The Hidden History of the Shroud of Turin, details the first fourteen centuries of the relic’s history and explains the attempts which were made, throughout this period, to conceal its existence and provenance.
