Shouldn't this be 397 ?

Oh thanks for catching that! The number was right but I had mistakenly put it under the Central Europe episodes rather than France. Should be fixed now!
Evangelicals?
I'm confused by this episode. You were talking about evangelical Protestants here? But evangelicals as a thing was centuries later.

Sometimes the early Protestants are also called "evangelicals" in secondary literature, and they used this term themselves. I just threw it in there so I didn't have to keep saying "reformers" over and over. But if it is misleading maybe I should take that out for the book version?

I think you might want to have a brief aside maybe. I'm sure experts in the period would get it, but the general public would probably find it confusing.

I think that the term 'evangelicals' has a very specific modern meaning in a North American context. My experience is that it is not similarly so for the rest of the world. I did not find it misleadning at all in the context of the podcast.
