This week’s episode is dedicated to Ollie Harrison, my best friend, shield brother and the best man I knew. I reminisce about some of the fights and shenanigans we got up to with his friends.

This episode was riddled with technical difficulties, but Alexander “Sasha” Makarov and I managed to get at least an hour of HEMA chat in about the origins of HEMA, Russian LARP and being in a HEMA relationship before the audio cut out. On the plus side, the sponsor and the guest have the same online address: www.tempusswords.co.uk.
