Chaucer: A European Life, with Marion Turner
YouTube video by The Booking Club podcast Chaucer: A European Life, with Marion Turner

Stumbled across this The Booking Club Podcast with @JackAldane interviewing historian Marion Turner about her excellent biography, Chaucer: A European Life. A fantastic summary of Chaucer's life & writing in 45 minutes - if interested in Chaucer, you won't be disappointed.
