I've found podcasts that I enjoy on a broad variety of topics, but one thing I haven't found is a good, regularly produced podcast relating to the middle ages.  I'd happily accept either history or literature themed at this point.  Can anyone help?

Have to admit, I'm not an enthusiast myself, but while doing research for something else it just happens I came across this link less than a week ago.  (I know, how's that for coincidence?)  Does that fit what you're looking for?

You wouldn't be a SCAdian by any chance, would you?

Nope, although I've bookmarked the website of my local barony, and debate periodically giving it a shot.  I mostly hold back because, judging by the members I've known over the years, it seems to involve a pretty intense commitment.  Most of them eventually burned out because they didn't have the energy to keep up any more.

This Twelve Byzantine Rulers podcast was extremely interesting. I stumbled across it while surfing around iTunes. I had no real interest in this era, but it had such a high rating, I figured, why not? I highly recommend it. Of course, it's quite narrow in focus, so it may not be your cup of tea, but you may want to give it a try.

They must have forgotten it's all supposed to be a game.

This is exactly why I've never gotten into any MMORPGames such as World of Warcraft  ;D
