We’re Not So Different provides a rigorous yet irreverent examination of the Middle Ages, bridging the gap between academic history and modern political analysis. Hosted by Dr. Eleanor Janega and Luke Milton, the program focuses on historical materialism and the social structures of the pre-modern world. The creators have established themselves through deep-dive series such as Arthuriana and Conquest and Anarchy, which analyze the Norman Conquest’s impact on material conditions. Dr. Janega contributes expert perspectives from her background as a historian of religion and author of The Once and Future Sex, utilizing archival research to dismantle traditionalist myths. A recent win includes their ongoing Weird Medieval series, which explores historical anomalies through a humorous lens. Having collaborated with notable productions like Age of Napoleon and Trashfuture, the show provides professional research for audiences interested in the intersection of medieval urban history, gender, and the origins of capitalist systems.
