In case there was any doubt, I am a big geek. One Friday night, I hunkered down and devoured a PBS DVD on the Greeks. For fun, I read books about diseases. And tonight, I am jazzed to be watching the History Channel's special on the Dark Ages.
I found out about it while I was watching a documentary about the plague. And I recognized a voice. A former professor of mine is one of the primary "talking heads"! Daileader was a kook who went on pants rants, jousted with maps and generally took a really innovative perspective on history. He is also one of the foremost medievalists.
Curiously, most of the talking heads are east coasters. Including someone from UNC.
I should not be as excited about these things as I am.
