In this crossover episode with Tiny Matters, we talk about a new scientific study (and some older studies) of the Turin Shroud. Prof. Gabriele talks about its history and about medieval relics generally, and the Tiny Matters experts talk about DNA testing and other science stuff. Collaboration FTW!

About Us
American Medieval is a podcast about the Middle Ages, but with an American twist. Each week, joined by expert guests, we’ll explore either some fascinating part of the medieval world, or some way Americans have used this period to help them understand themselves.
After all, if America has never been modern, it’s because we’ve always been slightly medieval.
