Send us a text It’s Story Time with the Bull$hit Brigade. A chaotic mix of hilarious, heartfelt, and slightly questionable stories from the hobby. From battlefield blunders to late-night campfire confessions, nothing (and no one) is safe.

Ever looked at a photo from an event and thought, “Wait… do I really look like that?” Yeah, us too. In this episode, the Bull$hit Brigade dives deep into the phenomenon we’re calling reenactor dysmorphia, that weird blend of self-critique, comparison, and obsessive accuracy that makes you question your entire impression. So crack open a cold one, grab your kit, and join the Brigade as we remind everyone, you probably look better than you think.

When the last blank is fired and the gear’s packed away, the reenacting season winds down, but for the Bull$hit Brigade, the off-season brings its own kind of stories. In this episode, Sean, Austin, and Dalton take a step back from the battlefield to talk about what happens when the events end.

The Bull$hit Brigade is back around the table (and the beers) with a topic every reenactor has faced: burnout. From too many events back-to-back to the pressure of always “doing it right,” Sean, Austin, and Dalton break down how to keep the hobby fun without losing your sanity. Along the way, they share war stories of their own near-burnout moments, debate whether taking a break really helps, and, of course, get sidetracked with a few laughs (and drinks).

The Bull$hit Brigade dives into one of the hobby’s biggest debates: campaigner vs mainstream reenacting. Sean, Austin, and Dalton break down what each side brings to the field, where the lines blur, and how to keep the hobby fun without losing sight of history. Grab a beer and join the conversation, you won’t want to miss this one. Disclaimer: Let’s just say… the alcohol to professionalism ratio may be a little off. Listener discretion (and maybe a drink in hand) advised.
