Medieval Murder Techniques (Guest: Midsomer Murder Bot - Matthew Berryman)

Welcome to Medieval Murder, the podcast that brings all things gruesome and historical to the comfort of your own home or car or wherever it is you’re listening from. My name is Hannah Purtymun and I’m here with my father Kevin Purtymun to discuss some of the most famous and infamous murders that took place in the Medieval and Early Modern periods.

Medieval Murder came to be, first as a blog, then as an instagram and now as a podcast after I finished my master’s dissertation on homicide in early medieval England. The podcast will feature some of the most famous murders in medieval history, some mini-episode series on different types of medieval murders and interviews with historians and history enthusiasts alike.

Today we will be discussing some of the most gruesome murder techniques in medieval history. We’ll be talking to Dr. Matthew Berryman the creator of the Midsomer Murder Bot on twitter! Matthew is a software developer who grew up in Adelaide, the murder capital of Australia. You can find him on Twitter at @midsomerplots or at midsomerplots.net.
