The State of the Union (of Napoleonic History)
A less-than-Presidential, two hour broadcast, in which Zack has multiple aneurysms, Luke self proclaims to be a 'Scholar in Residence', and then refers to military history as 'Guns and balls and pointy things'.
We also do some serious historianing at some point in the broadcast.
This is a new style of content, in which we look at the state of Napoleonic history, new book releases, new historical dramas that are being released, and conferences you need to attend.

A Soldier's Life: Re-enacting Napoleonic Infantrymen
Rory Butcher and Liam Telfer join me to talk about how what make the world of re-enactment 'tick'. We discuss the realism debate, the unique insights and benefits that re-enactment offers, whether or not horses are terrifying, and the contentious subject of whether or not women should be allowed in the fighting line.
