  • Ibn Sina and Biruni with S. Frederick Starr

    Ibn Sina and Biruni with S. Frederick Starr
    Nov 21 2024
    Experimenting, translating, and philosophizing about physics and metaphysics, biology and geology, two great thinkers from Central Asia stand out both for their achievements, and their completely opposite points of view. This week, Danièle speaks with S. Frederick Starr about the work and the lives of Ibn Sina (aka Avicenna) and Biruni, their contributions to science and culture, and the reason they outright despised each other.

    Bad Chaucer with Tison Pugh
    Oct 31 2024
    When it comes to classics of literature, it can feel like there’s a lot of pressure to nod along with the crowd and say that some authors are just brilliant, full stop. But sometimes even great literature isn’t so great. This week, Danièle speaks with Tison Pugh about the good, the bad, and the downright ugly in Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales.

Incredible and accessible middle ages!

Danielle is a delight to hear every week, and it's always great to hear from Peter at the end of every episode. I'm so grateful to these two, especially Danielle, for teaching me so much about the middle ages over the years. The awesome guests and Danielle's instant warmth and easy rapport makes the information easy to comprehend and absorb, and everyone's enthusiasm for the subject and study of all things medieval is positively infectious! Keep up the incredible work!
