The Audio Armory

We didn't have an episode prepped for this week, so instead, your local bard and local blacksmith talk about two of their favorite fantasy swords, and why they think they're so cool! High fantasy and goof fantasy combine into one delightful minisode. Plus, a heartfelt bard's tip of the week.

It's a new year, folks! And we're back into the thick of it, doin' what we do best: talkin' about swords. This week, we cover the Katar! Have you ever wanted to be Wolverine, but just like, one blade? Well, do we have good news for you. Also, this one goes a little off the rails at points, but we're trying to ease back into that podcasting flow, so bare with us. Plus, an inspiring Blacksmith's tip of the week to round it off! It's Collabor-18, yo!

[NOTE: This episode is EXPLICIT. We don't beep out the swears in this one, and hoo boy do we get saucy.] Happy holidays, adventurers! As a yuletide treat, enjoy these selected bloopers and behind-the-scenes moments from our first six episodes! We'll be back with a full episode in the new year!

Better not rush in to this episode, adventurers! We're starting our mini-series on weapons from The Adventure Zone with Magnus Burnsides' trusty axe, Railsplitter! How would your local blacksmith build such a weapon if it were real? What's the practicality of a double-headed axe anyway? And what's the deal with that magic button? Plus, our favorite Railsplitter moments, and a holiday appropriate Blacksmith's Tip of the Week. Gather round the table and roll some dice with us!

I bless the blaaaaades down in Africaaaaaaa. We're talking about a few African swords and spears in this episode! Emily coughs a bunch! We have a great time here.

Hey, can I get you another drink? Watch where you're going with that!

Why I outta! In this episode of Audio Armory, we're talking all about

Bar Fights! When was the first bar open? Why are tavern brawls such a staple in popular fiction, and why are improvised weapons so much fun? And is Shakespeare really that big of a deal to start a riot over? All of these questions and more answered in this tangential episode, so have another glass of mead and get cozy by the fire, why don't you?

On this extra spooky episode of the Audio Armory, we explore the history of scythes! How did they evolve from a mere farmhand's tool to a weapon? And what's the deal with the Grim Reaper? Also, for a peak behind the curtain, we recorded this episode last week, so Emily's voice is almost gone from being at a concert and she's also just about to come down with a cold, so uh, forgive her. And by "her", I mean "me". Forgive me.

You asked, and we answered! Questions about weapons, food pyramids, and making a podcast, we've got it all for you in this very special epsiode of the Audio Armory!

We're sorry that LiZz sounds like she's recording from a cave in this one. We're not quite sure what happened. Maybe she fell down a cave and we just weren't aware of it? Regardless, we're talkin' about good ol' fashioned spears this week, and some of their variants! Did you know it's totally impracticable to throw a spear? And how do you say half of those things in this week's title? The answer to these questions and more lie beyond that play button. Plus, a rare Bard's Tip of the Week!

What do you know about Kirby? You know, that little pink orb guy? Well, we're not talking about him today. Instead, we're talking about his masked rival/friend, Meta Knight (or, more importantly, his sword). What would it be like in real life? What's so special about it? How tall is Meta Knight even? All of these questions and more will be answered, hopefully.
