On the one hand, calling something “medieval” carries with it negative connotations of outdated times. But lately there has almost been a nostalgia for life in the Middle Ages.
This hour, we look at what life was really like in that time period and why we remember it the way we do.
Plus, a look at the medieval origin of environmental anxiety and student debt.
