Fortune's Wheel: A Podcast History of Our Medieval Story

By: Jonathon LaRosa
  • Summary

  • The Middle Ages—a time often dismissed, yet it is the crucible where the foundations of our modern world were forged. This era, full of brutal power struggles, explosive change, and unexpected alliances, laid the borders, cultures, and traditions we live by today. Through relentless research and gripping storytelling, this podcast resurrects the forgotten world of our medieval ancestors, unraveling the tangled web of European, African, Islamic, and Asian forces that shaped our destiny. The modern world was never born in isolation—it was fought for, built, and connected across continents.
