Open Mailbag Fun

folks, it's the holidays and so we decided to post some prompts on twitter and bluesky and answer some questions about history, life, and culture from the general audience. we cover everything from Chinese feudalism to the Panera lemonade that kills you to counterfactuals on how imperial Italy could've become a world superpower and whether there was a Medieval concept of coolness analogous to what we have today. check it out, it's a ton of fun and we hope you'll like it.finally, we'd like to wish everyone a happy holiday season, no matter what you're celebrating and thank you for listening to the show in 2023. we're excited to come back with more Medieval goodness in 2024!
