022 Nock, Draw, Loose!

Greetings again! We come to you once again from the grounds of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival! I sit down with bowyer and archery expert Cameron Weir, proprieter of Grey Goose Bows. From his start in the SCA to being the owner of his own business and a true craftsman in his own right, Cameron offers some true insights into the art and science of one of humanity's oldest weapon systems.

021 The Order Of The Acorn

We're coming to you live from the MN Renaissance Festival (hence the crickets) with some friends and fellow performers, John Zach and Tony Ulfbehrt, of the Order of the Acorn, a performance group of brave and dashing knights sworn to uphold the values of chivalry and honor. John is a veteran of Human Combat Chess, and Tony is both a Marine and former member of the Viking Encampment group here at the Festival. Later on, we're joined by surprise guests, including co-host and FightCast Producer Kirsten Wade! This promises to be a fun and insightful look into creating an act, and drawing in an audience at a venue as challenging as the Festival.

020 Martyrmade

Prepare to dive deep into the realm of myth and legend! Or, at least take a close look at what makes a culture that produces warriors? I'm joined by Daryl Cooper of the Martyrmade Podcast (required listening) to find out more! Daryl's podcast is best known for a multi-part, in depth investigation into the causes and motivations behind the Arab-Israeli conflict, called Fear and Loathing in the New Jerusalem.He's also running a companion series to Daniele Boleili's History on Fire (also required listening) series on the conquest of Mexico, and it's allllll about cannibalism. Maybe listen to that one with headphones on. Anyway, enjoy! Extra super duper special thanks to Daryl Cooper for the time and the fascinating conversation. We can't wait to have him on again.

019 Nazi-Punching Roundtable

We're Back, comrades in arms! We have a very special episode today as i sit down with another roundtable of good friends and colleagues to discuss an unfortunately relevant question, and if you read the title, you know what that is. Special thanks to Kirsten Wade for audio engineering, and my heartfelt gratitude to Kirsten, Eryc Strako, Jeremy Jones, and Savannah Dobson for taking part.
