How EarBuds Podcast Collective works: Each week, a theme is chosen by one of our curators. That curator finds 5 podcast episodes (from anywhere!) to go along with that theme. Listen to these podcasts by clicking on the links above, through the RadioPublic app, or you can find (most of) them on your favorite podcast app (iTunes, Stitcher, Overcast…)

PODCAST CURATOR’S NAME: Devon Field

WHY THIS THEME?: Many people think of the “Dark Ages” as centuries of torture, slop, and death in the mud, but it was all much more interesting than that! This is all about medieval travel and the surprisingly interconnected medieval world.
