You're Dead to Me · Medieval Saints: miracles, relics and pilgrimage · 7 Aug 2026 podcast

Hello, thanks.

A delight to be back.

Yes, so I should have retained some of that information.

And yet, here we are.

Am I comfortable in the medieval world?

As a woman, no.

I think there's little pockets of knowledge here and there.

You were a chorister, right?

You've sung medieval?

I've sung medieval polyphony at university.

Other people went out and got pissed.

I sung medieval polyphony.

So beautiful, beautiful music.

I've had quite a lot to do with a lot of different churches.

So I was raised Methodist, so obviously no saints.

But then I've worked in quite a lot of different denominations of the church and I'm quite obsessed with churches, including Catholic churches and like in across Europe.

The first thing I do is go to a cathedral church.

So I've probably seen a lot of statues and commemorations of saints there.

But I don't know much about them.

Yeah.
