Asst. Prof. Amanda Respess unraveled the mysteries of medieval shipbuilding and early trade routes on The Medieval Podcast hosted by Daniele Cybulskie. From lost archaeology beneath the waves to global connections, it's an adventure not to be missed!

"When it comes to intercontinental trade in the Middle Ages, the Silk Road seems to get all the love. But the movement of people and goods between kingdoms and continents was made possible in large part by water. This week, Danièle speaks with Amanda Respess about ships and shipbuilding in the medieval world, what we know about early global trade routes, and the fascinating bits of archaeology we’re still finding under the sea." -- The Medieval Podcast
