  Bagratid Armenia

  Aug 14, 2026—

  In this episode, we explore Bagratid Armenia, the medieval Armenian kingdom restored under Ashot I in the late ninth century after centuries of Arab rule. We examine how the kingdom balanced relations with the Byzantine Empire and the Abbasid Caliphate, while entering a cultural and economic golden age marked by the rise of Ani, flourishing international trade, distinctive church architecture, and major achievements in Christian art and literature. We also trace the political fragmentation that divided the kingdom into rival sub-kingdoms, weakening Armenian resistance to growing Byzantine pressure and the advance of the Seljuk Turks, and ultimately leading to the fall of the Bagratid kingdom in 1045.

  Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia

  Aug 14, 2026—

  In this episode, we explore the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, a medieval Armenian state that emerged along the Mediterranean and became an important center of commerce, diplomacy, and culture. We examine how Cilician Armenia built close ties with the Crusader states and later allied with the Mongol Ilkhanate in an effort to resist the growing power of the Mamluk Sultanate. The episode also looks at the kingdom’s adoption of Western feudal customs, its complex relationship with the Catholic Church, and the religious and political tensions these connections created. Finally, we trace the famines, sieges, and military pressures that weakened the kingdom, culminating in the fall of its capital, Sis, in 1375, while considering Cilicia’s lasting importance in Armenian history and national identity.

  Armenian Apostolic Church

  Aug 12, 2026—

  In this episode, we explore the Armenian Apostolic Church, the historic national church of Armenia and one of the world’s oldest Christian institutions. Traditionally founded by the apostles Bartholomew and Thaddeus and established as Armenia’s state church under King Tiridates III in the early fourth century, it developed a distinctive Armenian Christian tradition within Oriental Orthodoxy. We examine its Miaphysite theology, Armenian Rite, and unique structure, including the catholicosates of Etchmiadzin and Cilicia and the patriarchates of Jerusalem and Constantinople. The episode also looks at the church’s enduring role in preserving Armenian language, culture, and identity across centuries of upheaval and throughout the global diaspora, while considering contemporary debates over its political influence, leadership, and institutional transparency.
