Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday, July 20th, 2020 and I'm the

host of the show Kara Santa Maria.

I'm time traveling a little bit right now because I'm actually out of the country so the next few episodes are going to be episodes that I recorded before I left.

This week's is really exciting, but before we dive into it,

I want to thank those of you who continue

Lange, and David J. E. Smith.

All right, let's talk about today's show.

So I had the opportunity to sit down, not in person,

don't worry, via the internet with Dr. Jack Hartnell.

Now, he is a lecture in art history

at the University of East Anglia Norwich and we talked about his

new book, oh it's so fascinating, medieval bodies life and death in the middle ages. So guys without any further ado here he is

Dr. Jack Hartnell. Well Jack thank you so much for joining me today.

It's a pleasure to be here.

Great to chat.

Yeah, so we're going to be talking about your book,
