Black Death

Enjoy this blast from the past: Sarah and Ollie's Media-eval practice episode on the Sean Bean/Eddie Redmayne film Black Death, recorded all the way back in 2018 and now coming out of the vault and into your ears. This episode also includes a few updated reflections on how the medieval pandemic response compares to the modern one. If you're interested in learning more about why we shouldn't call the current pandemic response "medieval," check out medievalist Guy Geltner's fantastic article: http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/174758.
