Welcome to my podcast. I learned a lot while reading about this topic and I'd like to share those insights with you. This episode is a brief overview of COVID-19, pandemics, and epidemics, with a focus on the medieval ages and the black death. I’ve provided citations for sources I used to create this podcast in case you’d like to delve deeper into this moment in history. You can find them below and on the forthcoming website. I’m not a doctor or an accredited historian. Nor do I play one on TV. This podcast is for informational purposes only. Got something weird going on? You might want to go see a doctor. Want to learn more about plagues? Check out the books in the episode notes, or your local library. Be cool, stay safe.
