This is a podcast from Insight featuring Spencer Wells, Razib Khan and Patrick Wyman, a historian specializing in Late Antiquity who also authors a series of quite good podcasts called "The Tides of History".
They don't just talk about those three groups, but do spend the most time on them. They also offer a nice overview and summary of Late Antiquity in general.
It's nice to have geneticists and historians sort of comparing notes on these things, so I recommend it, particularly, perhaps, for people who don't have a background in this period. Of course, as they mention, as more and more samples are tested, things might look different, but as of now, this seems to be the latest word.
See if you get the joke at the end. It's sort of a "nerd" test.
