City Life

Half-Hour History: Secrets of the Medieval World

Working and living in a Medieval city was a lot different than the countryside. There were merchants, guilds, and trade that relied on money, not bartering. Chris gives us a sense of city life, and even explains how loans and traveler’s checks existed all those years ago.

Half-Hour History: Secrets of the Medieval World is a co-production of iHeart Podcasts and School of Humans. It is a Curiosity Podcast.
