In this action-packed episode, host Stevenson is joined by guest Reed dive into the intense and often misunderstood world of jousting. From its origins as a medieval combat training exercise to its modern-day revival as a competitive sport, they break down the history, the rules, and what it actually feels like to charge full speed at another rider with a lance in hand. Reed shares insights into the skill, discipline, and risk involved, shedding light on a sport that’s far more real—and dangerous—than most people realize.

The conversation also explores how jousting has evolved over time, the difference between theatrical performances and competitive leagues, and why this centuries-old tradition still captures people’s imagination today. With a mix of history, adrenaline, and behind-the-scenes perspective, Stevenson and Reed bring jousting to life in a way that’s both informative and seriously intense.
