She co-founded the historical martial arts club Swordpunch in London, and teaches a wide range of weapons, including sidesword, longsword, dagger, sickle and more. In addition to her historical martial arts practice, Vera holds a master's degree in international business, works as a marketing professional in tech and is a certified fitness professional with over 16 years of experience. Our wide-ranging conversation covers how getting pregnant is what got Vera into historical martial arts (in a roundabout sort of way) and the reasons she and her business partner Jack set up their own club. Setting up your own club may not be the practical choice, and we discuss how to manage all the responsibilities of both the club and life – hint: the answer is not to sleep. One of Vera's driving forces was to create a club that is welcoming and a healthy learning and training environment with professional teaching methods. We talk about how to help vulnerable students, and how to professionalise HEMA teaching.

How are you feeling today? Before we dive in, please hit like, subscribe, or drop an emoji in the comments. That tiny action helps me keep offering these readings every day and makes sure they keep showing up for you.And just a reminder — even if you're finding this on a different day, there's something here for you. The timing never blocks the message that's trying to reach you.Today we're working with a quarter Moon, urging us to release even more of what can't follow us into the next chapter. Mercury is finishing its journey through Scorpio, retracing the steps of its retrograde. Before it moves into Sagittarius, it forms a trine to Neptune, giving us emotional clarity, intuitive downloads, and a softer way of seeing the truth.Once Mercury shifts signs, the energy changes fast — clearer conversations, blunt honesty, and truths that finally find their voice.In this reading, we'll explore:• Why communication may feel unclear or tangled• What the reversed Page of Swords is revealing about your inner dialogue• Why the reversed Three of Pentacles asks you to rethink support systems• How to recognize who shows up for you — and who doesn't• What the Five of Pentacles and reversed Queen of Wands want you to reclaim• How Pluto, the Part of Fortune, and the Communication card point to a major transformationThis is a turning point. You're letting go, reaching for something new, and learning how to trust your own voice through the transition. Even if things feel uncertain, you are stronger than you realize, and the clarity you're craving is closer than it seems.If you want written horoscopes, the Moon Gateway overview, or a chart-based report that shows where these transits land for you, visit SchedulingFate.com.

This week on Konsole Kombat, we're pitting the pride of the Sangheili against humanity's first Spectre. It's The Arbiter (Thel 'Vadam) vs. Commander Shepard!In the Red Corner, standing over 7 feet tall, we have the former Supreme Commander of the Fleet of Particular Justice.

He's the survivor of the Skyllian Blitz, the hero of the Citadel, and the man who stared down the Reapers.

Jorge Luis Borges called her the “Tolstoy of Mexico” and César Aira the “greatest novelist of the 20th century,” so why is it likely that you haven't read or even heard of Elena Garro before now?

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: The violent, fatal attack on National Guard troops in the nation's capitol has the fully anti-immigration folks rattling their swords loudly. Frankly, they have strong points to make and the points on their rhetorical swords were sharpened by naive, careless, and incompetent Democratic Party policy that itself has served to sharpen those points enough to be turned back upon themselves, Democrats, as serious political and cultural weapons.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.An example out of Wichita County of how wasteful were COVID grant programs. What does a new tax office have to do with WuFlu?Can we please stop trying to one up each other over the so-called “first Thanksgiving?” It's pointless and while the Texas claim is correct over a mass being held in thanksgiving, it was not the same thing as what we recognize with the Pilgrims.Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

He then moved into sword and buckler, inspired by Roland Warzecha's work (you can hear from Roland here) and Fiore's Art of Arms, before being seduced by Manciolino and Marozzo. In 2017 he co-founded Schildwache Potsdam as a collaboration between the Berliner Rittergilde and the University of Potsdam's Academic Sports Centre. In 2020 and 2021 he was on the DDHF national longsword first squad. And since 2022 he was on the Rapier national squad, where he is now head coach. He runs the Schildwache Potsdam YouTube channel, and is one of the organizers of one of my favourite events, Swords of the Renaissance. He is a research associate at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg and has a PhD in economics and social sciences. Economics is very relevant to this episode, because Martin and I discuss how Game Theory relates to fencing. What is it rational to do when sparring and what do people actually do? What is the most rational way to react to an opponent who hits you increasingly hard or fast? Should you match them, or walk away? We also talk about rule sets in tournaments, and Martin's thoughts on how to devise them to stop people gaming the rules, and make the fencing cleaner and scoring fairer.   Links of interest: Schildwache Potsdam (Martin's club) and info on Swords of the Renaissance event: https://schildwache-potsdam.de/ The Schildwache Potsdam Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/SchildwachePotsdam Schildwache Potsdam YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/schildwache-potsdam

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US — and welcome into a big energetic shift day.We start under the Aquarius Moon, but by midday we drop straight into Pisces… and that's a full emotional atmosphere change. Aquarius is in the head. Pisces is in the heart. One detaches, one dissolves. So if today feels like “I'm fine” → “Whoa, why am I feeling everything?” — that's exactly the transit.Before the Moon changes signs, it squares Uranus — so expect one surprise, one change of plan, or one emotional curveball around midday. Not chaotic… just unexpected.But the real headline? Saturn stations direct in Pisces.That means: karmic lesson complete, next chapter loading.Something you've been carrying, processing, or repeating since June is finally shifting direction — even if you don't fully see the result yet.Tarot confirms the theme:

Jacob and Josh are both from Puerto Rico and met about 17 years ago while working together on a film project and began dating… Sort of. As you'll hear, they've spent a lot of their relationship exploring the grey zones of relationships. Their own relationship started out a bit ambiguously and their explorations with others often fell in the blurry area between friends, hookups, and boyfriends. We absolutely love how Josh and Jacob share their journey together with us in such an honest and vulnerable way. They're not here to pretend like everything they've done is perfect but rather they dig into the messy humanness of figuring out love and relationships as life swirled around them. They've learned so much about themselves along the way and they're still constantly striving to discover new ways to show up better for themselves and one another. This is a really beautiful and powerful story and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

With 2025 coming to a close, what better time for the first-ever collective tarot reading on the show? Hero Cait DeMello, a confidence and empowerment coach, guides Chandler through the different energies rounding out the year and setting the tone for 2026. Cait frames tarot as a tool for clarity and perspective, not fortune-telling, and explores themes like reclaiming inner strength, softening how you control your emotions, and honoring grief as a pathway to clarity and creativity. Grounded and direct, this reading invites you to choose your purpose from within and begin the new year with resonance, not resistanceWhat You Will Learn[00:13:03] Challenge structure: The spread focuses on challenge, latent energy, release, call-in, perspective shift, and advice to carry you into early 2026.[00:14:20] Reflection energy: Many reversals signal revision, second chances, and re-evaluating how you've been handling life.[00:15:15] Inner strength reframe: The reversed Strength card highlights resisting your own power and looking outside yourself for worth.[00:17:05] Survival mode patterns: The Five of Swords shows inner fighting—clinging to what defines worth and creating resistance instead of release.[00:19:13] Releasing control: The Father of Cups asks you to let go of rigid, structured control of emotions and allow true expression.[00:23:32] Calling in legacy: The reversed Ten of Pentacles invites ending the era of “not worthy” and making a meaningful mark you can feel.[00:28:40] Perspective shift to nurture: The Mother of Cups guides compassionate self-protection—honoring feelings without making them wrong.[00:30:52] Grief as guidance: The Five of Cups encourages moving through anger, sadness, and frustration to clear energy and reclaim creativity.Let's Connect!Follow The Healing Heroes on Instagram & LinkedIn.Cait DeMelloWebsite | Instagram | LinkedInChandler StroudWebsite | LinkedIn | InstagramMixing and editing provided by Next Day Podcast.

Today is a “tables turning” kind of day — and you may already feel it.Venus is in flow with both Saturn and Jupiter, which means something emotional, financial, or relationship-based is finally shifting… but not in a loud, dramatic way. More like: “Oh… that just changed.”Even the Wheel of Fortune reversed is showing up — pause, pivot, karma, timing.The Aquarius Moon keeps things detached on the surface, but the heart work is happening underneath.Plans may switch. A conversation may go differently than expected.A person you didn't expect may show up — or not show up — and that is the lesson.Tarot says:

Send us a textWe get in the middle of the increasing seismic activity shaking the gaming industry in the back half of 2025, in the form of AI. With layoffs of entire departments at AAA studios, streamlined processes, AI game generators, and 6-fingered zombies, AI is here. We discuss both pivotal sides of the coin in a first, and unknown transition for video games. Oh, we also voice-act two scenes from a game that we generate on the spot with dialogue generated on the spot with images that we also generated on the spot.  www.BetterHelp.com/TheBarnhttp://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and brought to you as always by The Barn Media Group.
