Bonus #2 Dr Eleanor Janega
Manage episode 367141712 series 3450247
Our special guest for this episode is Medieval historian Dr Eleanor Janega. Eleanor joins us to shout about how much she loves Comet in Moominland, share her Moomin memes of choice and talk about how Tove Jansson draws on medieval storytelling tropes like weird little guys you find in the woods, comets, and really good food writing. There is a case made for Moominmamma as an agony aunt and a scathing burn for Ian Fleming.
You can find Eleanor's on twitter @GoingMedieval, buy her new book The Once and Future Sex here and her comic The Middle Ages: A Graphic History here. She also has her own podcast We're Not So Different.
The Podgoblin's Hat will return in August with season two, which kicks off with The Memoirs of Moominpappa / The Exploits of Moominpappa. We'll tell you about both versions of the story so you can pick which one to seek out and read!
