Sarah and fellow medievalist Abigail Agresta talk about why there's no Eustace VIII, medieval attitudes toward lepers, and the challenges of setting a forensic-evidence-based mystery series in medieval England in our discussion of the ITV series Cadfael. This is also the first Media-eval episode where everyone is in the same room ... and that room was in Barcelona! CW: for discussion of rape/sexual assault in one episode.

Media-eval is a podcast where medieval historian Sarah ifft Decker talks about how movies, tv shows, and books depict the Middle Ages in historical fiction and medieval-inspired fantasy. What did they get right? What did they get wrong? And what do they tell us about how modern people think about the medieval past?
