American Medieval is a podcast about the history of the Middle Ages, but with an American twist. Each week, host Prof. Matthew Gabriele is joined by expert guests to explore not medieval history, but how and why the Middle Ages have such a hold on our collective imagination. After all, if America has never been modern, it’s because we’ve always been slightly medieval.

  • Opera and Medievalism with Hannah Weaver

    Opera and Medievalism with Hannah Weaver
    Jun 17 2026
    Matt and Hannah talk opera and how it uses the Middle Ages, because there is A LOT of medievalism in opera - far beyond the stereotypes we have in our head about Wagner. There’s something in the water that helps us think not just about the medieval world, but our own. Take that Chalamet. GuestHannah Weaver is an assistant professor of medieval literature at Columbia University. She's the author of a wide variety of articles and the book Experimental Histories: Interpolation and the Medieval British Past (Cornell 2024) and co-host of the podcast Proust Curious, in partnership with Public Books.CreditsHost & Executive Producer: Matthew Gabriele.

  • Medieval Techno-Optimism with Jennifer Jahner

    Medieval Techno-Optimism with Jennifer Jahner
    Jun 10 2026
    This episode we talk about Roger Bacon, maybe not perfect for Instagram but not far off. There’s some medieval science (and using data to understand the medieval world), some alchemy, and some antichrist. Peter Thiel even gets a mention, but only briefly. GuestJennifer Jahner is a Professor of English at Caltech, where she has worked since 2012. Trained in literature, she has migrated over time into histories of law, science, and rhetoric. Her current research examines the prehistory of “data science,” asking how medieval thinkers organized and aggregated large amounts of information and made inferences about the future. Find her on Instagram at jajahner. CreditsHost & Executive Producer: Matthew Gabriele.
