It has been two years since I last had Gage on the podcast and we figured we would catch up on how he's been! We talk about his most recent impressions, reenacting the 101st Airborne during WW2 and some life things as well. He also has recently hit 1000 followers on Instagram so congrats to him, look forward to him hitting 2000 in no time! So go give him a follow!

Graham and I discuss a wide variety of surplus related topics this week. Mostly we focus on the surplus market and how it changed along with its presence in media or pop culture. We were not able to do this one in person because of scheduling conflicts but plan to do some in person episodes again soon.

This time around, I got the awesome opportunity to interview Logan who co-founded the XVIII Airborne Corps Living History Group. The main focus of the group is the US Army's involvement during Operation Urgent Fury. We will hopefully see more of Logan in the future and don't forget to check out his personal Instagram and the unit's out down below.

Excited to have Hampus who happens to be a member of the Swedish Home Guard on the show. We discuss compulsory service, life as a Home Guardsman and more. This was a great topic for someone like me, a former National Guardsman to compare our experiences and get insight on how the Home Guard operates!
I hope you enjoy this episode and I'm working hard to get this podcast back on schedule!
This was the first episode with a guest sitting next to me and Bailey seemed like the right person to have on! We got a chance to discuss further his time working for the National Park Service. We also talked about some good finds he's had in the last few months. On top of that, he explained his plans for his new office and how that is going to affect his future impressions.

On this first episode of season 3, I got the opportunity to talk with Cucumber or CWS.History1944 as he is now known on Instagram. We mostly discuss chemical protective gear from the 1950s to the 1970s and gas masks spanning the same time period. So I hope you enjoyed this conversation, more than likely I will be having Cucumber back on in the future!
Make sure to check him out on his Instagram and give him a follow for some great chemical protective history! https://www.instagram.com/cws.history1944/
One last episode to end 2022 with. I was hoping for more episodes this year but life got in the way per usual. With 2023, I am hoping to get more consistent and upload more episodes! This was a bit delayed due to me being sick so I apologize for that. Either way, this is a shorter episode so I hope you all enjoy and Happy New Year!
Back again with another episode, this time around speaking with LunaGeek520.
We first discuss WW1 and military surplus in general and then dive into a much more serious and important topic.
We only scrap the surface of what his next big project will be but be sure to check out his YouTube and Instagram!
