The Court Jester is a storytelling podcast that dives into the sauciest, funniest, and most outrageous stories of the Middle Ages. Hosted by medievalist and humour scholar Kleio Pethainou, each episode brings you a real tale from medieval literature—fabliaux, fables, legends, and more—featuring scandal, fart jokes, sex, tricksters, and chaotic peasant drama.

Think rude jokes, wild mishaps and the messiest love triangles you’ve never heard of (but absolutely should).

⚔️ Based on real medieval texts

📜 Translated and adapted with historical context

🎭 Told with flair, irreverence, and dark humour


If you're into medieval history, historical comedy, uncensored storytelling, or want to laugh at the weirdest things humans used to do—this one’s for you.
