While we haven’t been recording much, we sure have been busy. Brant and Brian became founding members of a HEMA performance and study group. Basically, we wanted to find a way to be allowed to fence inside Fort Henry and realized the best way to do so was to volunteer ourselves to perform as the … Continue reading Episode 17 – The King’s Town Guard
There’s been a lot of upheaval in our personal lives including a minor car accident the night before this very recording. As a result I’ve come to you again, hat in hand, begging forgiveness for our long absence. Recently, returning from a day of fencing to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the St. Lawrence Swordfighters’ … Continue reading Episode 16 – On The Road Again w/ Robert MacLeod
Waaay back in August we sat down in a babyful living room and recorded an episode that never saw the light of day. Not for any good reason other than life got busy and we simply forgot. While it might not be so timely now as then we thought we’d put it out there anyway. On … Continue reading Episode 14.5 -The Lost Episode (You Are Ahead By A Century)

We apologize for the audio quality on this one, this is what happens when you forget to bring your mic to a recording day… Nevertheless, we took the opportunity we had and sat down for a little chat about swords in popular media. It’s a good time to remind you all we are by no means … Continue reading Episode 13 – Swords in Media

This week we try recording with no topic in mind. Let us know what you think!
This week we discuss the concept of chivalry, in the medieval and modern ages. Part way through I begin to talk about a blog post that references Knightly Virtues in the manuscript of Johannes Liechtenauer, that post can be found here.

This week we follow a logical procession from last week’s topic of Fear, to this week’s of Anger. Not long ago I realized that at least for me personally, every time I was angry there was a hidden fear somewhere driving that anger. I always though as a teenager that getting angry somehow made me … Continue reading Episode 8 – Anger Is A Short Madness
This week, as the title suggests, we talk about fear. Dad fears, Sword fears and the general role fear has in our lives. http://dws.cruorvult.com/Podcast/DWS-Episode-7-Fear-is-the-Mindkiller.mp3 Download Link (right-click and “save link as”)
This week we discuss the Society for Creative Anachronism.

My views on the subject … Continue reading Episode 6 – The Known World
