Welcome my friends! How are you today? I’m fantastic. As I’m recording this, the show hasn’t launched yet and we're in pre-launch frenzy trying to get all the pieces in place.

I have an INCREDIBLE interview for you today, and I’m really excited for you to meet our

First I want to share something really interesting that happened to me as a result of this show. Last week I felt inspired to post a video on Instagram thanking the Sleep No More franchise and some specific actors who have not only changed my life these last 9 years but who were collectively the springboard to this show. And even though I follow these folks Instagram, we’re not friends. They don’t know me.

And I was so afraid to do this - voices in my head!

This is stupid. They're going to think you’re weird and needy.

But I did it. And you know what? They did care. They told me so. And not only that, but other folks in the fandom reached out and connected with me. A few of them DMd me and wanted to connect to talk about SNM and had ideas about episodes for the show! And this was such a deep experience for me and showed me once again how truly connected we all are and that humans are mostly wonderful and loving.

And I share this with you because if there’s something you’re afraid of doing - please go do that thing. Reach out to that person, send that text, call them. Believe in humans.

Alright, today’s guest is Dr. Marta Cobb. She’s a senior congress officer in the International Medieval Congress and a teaching fellow at the School of History at the University of Leeds, England

She’s got a seriously badass list of degrees..

  • PhD Medieval English Literature (Leeds)
  • MA Medieval English Literature (Leeds)
  • MA Heritage Management (Birmingham)
  • BA English Literature (Brown)
  • Areas of expertise: late Middle English Literature, especially Langland and Chaucer; medieval female mysticism, including Margery Kempe and Julian of Norwich; the portrayal of witchcraft, medieval to modern; medievalism

So basically a genius. And I cold emailed her a few weeks ago. I was researching badass women who are experts in this specific time period and I found her from an article she wrote for The Conversation. ANd when I emailed her, I’m like there is NO way she’s going to answer me, right? And about a week later I woke up - and checked my email and she answered! And she said she'd be happy to help me and that my show sounds “fascinating”.

And I gotta tell ya...to get validation from someone who deeply understands the history behind all this is extremely rewarding. I felt seen. And she was the first person who said yes and the first interview we recorded and so it’s really special to me.

And in addition to all of her staggering qualifications, she is HILARIOUS!

Marta Cobb and I discuss:

  • Symbolism of the Middle Ages that are being misrepresented in current political narratives
  • Her interpretation of Lady Macbeth
  • What life was actually like for women in Medieval times. How much agency did they have? What were the male/female power dynamics really like?
  • Other interesting women of the time who found ways to activate their agency
  • The progress she feels we’ve made as women since the Middle Ages

Let’s get into it!
