SwampThyng ,

Always gets me hyped

Patrick, THANK YOU for bringing this podcast back. Between COVID and work and general burnout from running a club and teaching, I’ve been really “going through the motions” with HEMA recently, but these first few episodes of the new run have been fantastic, and your content is a much needed pick me up in the HEMA sphere for me. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Great HEMA Content

We need more of this! Reading is great, but conversations between knowledgeable people provides insight that is hard to get outside of class / instruction. Great work, I love seeing new episodes pop up in my feed.

Norscan ,

Awesome! Fills a much needed.....need!

It’s great to have this to listen to while working on something else, or driving so I can multi-task my HEMA fix with my other responsibilities. A great show, that only looks to get better!
