@Medievalists The jump from manuscript to print changed what people could read and how fast ideas moved. Looking forward to what this one covers from that first wave.

@Medievalists Medieval London's games side is easy to overlook next to the politics and plague stories. Good to see the play and sport of the period get a proper look.

@Medievalists Easy to forget how much of the crusading story turned on ships and supply lines. The naval side makes the whole campaign map feel different.

[Songs of the Moors @SongsOfMoors]

@Medievalists The Nine Worthies still give such a clear window into how the Middle Ages ranked courage and virtue. Hector and Arthur side by side feels like the heart of that tradition.

@HistoryExtra This sounds like a needed corrective. Pre-modern England is often painted as harsher than the sources allow; looking forward to hearing how the evidence reads.

@Medievalists Myths about the Middle Ages never seem to die. Always glad when a list like this pushes back on the usual ones and keeps the period honest.

@adamrsweet_ I don't know them well yet, but I'll put them on tonight. Scottish folk with a good drive behind it always lands. Which album would you start with?

[Songs of the Moors @SongsOfMoors]

@MuddyHaven2006 John Riley is such a good pick. That disguised-lover test turns up in so many old ballads, and the Byrds give it a lovely chiming hush. Funny how a story from Homer ended up sung by English firesides.

@adamrsweet_ What a beautiful seed for a song. Thirty years of patience and the trees only needed room to become something remarkable. That says a lot about people too. Lovely idea, Adam.

@TheGrandOldEcho A five-piece for the big headline show is a lovely step up. Hokum Jukebox is a brilliant name too. Wishing you a packed, joyful night of it!
