Ep 181 - Episode Request: Down on the Farm
🕑 Added 2024-08-21 12:00:10 +0000 UTCpatrons, here is your ad-free version of this week's regular episode. we answer questions from Bardic Inspiration and Gafsey in this one.
folks, throughout the history of the show, we've gotten a ton of questions that we answer at the beginning of almost every episode but we also get episode requests on broader topics. since we have something of a backlog of these, we figured we would start to address them and so we answer a request from our patron Dogspotter, who asked us to do an episode about what life was like down on the farm for the peasant and what kind of animals they had around. so we decided to take you through an exhausting day-in-the-life of a Medieval peasant on a farm.

I loved this day in the life-format! It’s very evocative & fun.

"Explain body count to a medieval peasant"... isn't that just the opening to Don Giovanni? (His valet has _crosstabs_). Ok, fine, Mozart was early modern and l'm not sure how many peasants were going to opera, but also l'm wondering when the people banging on about medieval peasants think modernity started.
