Cunterbury is a scholarly arts & comedy podcast hosted by three Gen Z academics — Alice Fulmer, Nina Gary, and AJ Scott — exploring the major works of Geoffrey Chaucer and friends. In our first season, we are providing witty commentary and multiplicity of yassified voices to discuss The Canterbury Tales — and its pilgrims like you’ve never heard them before. If interested in supporting our work, please refer to the show notes, where among other things you’ll see you can follow us on Bluesky at “Cunterburypod” and/or our Pattern. If you’re a scholar, comedian, or another type of clown interested being a guest on our program, please contact us at [email protected].

In our pilot episode, we introduce ourselves, some segments you can expect, who Chaucer and the Tales are, and a longer episode than anticipated on the General Prologue. The General Prologue contains some of the most famous lines of Middle English poetry and a long list of pilgrims — and here we include our feelings on them. If you’re looking for refresher, a fun way to cram for your English class or just a way to pass a long train, bus, or car ride, we got you.
