AskHistorians Podcast Episode 242: The history of Medieval London Part 2, with the Story of London podcast
Welcome to part 2 of the earlier discussion between Saul of the Story of Lonon podcast, and Steelcan909. In this episode we continue our earlier discussion of Medieval London from the Norman Conquest through to the War of the Roses! 1hr.
The AskHistorians Podcast showcases the knowledge and enthusiasm of the AskHistorians community, a forum of nearly 1.4 million history academics, professionals, amateurs, and curious onlookers. The aim is to be a resource accessible to a wide range of listeners for historical topics which so often go overlooked. Together, we have a broad array of people capable of speaking in-depth on topics that get half a page on Wikipedia, a paragraph in a high-school textbook, and not even a minute on the History channel. The podcast aims to give a voice (literally!) to those areas of history, while not neglecting the more commonly covered topics. Part of the drive behind the podcast is to be a counterpoint to other forms of popular media on history which only seem to cover the same couple of topics in the same couple of ways over and over again.
