The Unknown Soldiers Podcast

Sometime in the 800s AD, a Chinese alchemist wrote the first description of what he called "huo yao" or "fire medicine." This was the birth of a technology that some described as inhuman, devilish, satanic, like it was too wicked to be made by human hands - but no one could afford to ignore it. Because if they didn't invent it, someone else would. This is the global story of gunpowder and the gun, from its Chinese origins to the industrial revolution.

The Hussite Revolution has defeated two crusades, the might of the Catholic Church and the Holy Roman Empire and the medieval nobility - but now the internal struggles begin. Moderates against radicals, cities versus countryside, upper class versus lower classes. The Hussites stand ascendant over all their other enemies...but can they conquer their own internal demons?

Simple Gifts – Cooper Cannell

A simple priest named Jan Hus gently suggests that the Catholic Church might be wrong about a few things - so they burn him at the stake, and ignite a holy war. The Church calls a crusade against Hus’s followers, the Hussites and all of Europe takes up arms against the heretics. The Hussites’ only hope is a one-eyed mercenary named Jan Žižka, and his revolutionary tactics that are so crazy they just might work. Fire, faith and thunder roll over the hills of Bohemia.

In the year 1302, the people of Flanders revolted against their French overlords. They were just a bunch of peasants and townspeople, with simple weapons and little armor - but the French knights were in for a surprise. It’s time to take a deep dive into a single medieval battle - the Battle of Courtrai, where the common people of a small country stood their ground against the most powerful military in medieval Europe.

"Day One" by LucorMusic via pond5.com

In the year 1361, a ragged band of veteran mercenaries called the White Company marched across the Alps into Italy. One of their leaders was a middle-aged English knight named Sir John Hawkwood. He would the most infamous mercenary captain in Europe, the terror of Italy…and the harbinger of change, as the Middle Ages gave way to the Renaissance.
