A lot is happening in Byzantine Studies these days, and a new generation of more diverse scholars is redefining the field. This podcast aims to make their work more accessible to a wider audience: to the general public that wants to hear the experts themselves explain their ideas; to students, who have learned to learn through new media; to experts, who don’t always have time to keep up with developments outside the sub-subdiscipline of their subfield; and to instructors, who can use these conversations as a basis for classroom discussion. Each episode focuses on an important theme in the life of Byzantium and its neighbors. In sum, I’ve found a new way to have fun, and hope that you enjoy these conversations too.
