“By Our First Strange and Fatal Interview.”

The Widow Black, explaining the finer points of French Coffee in 1751.

This Feburary, while attending Military History Fest 7, I had the honor of being interviewed by my friend Stephen of Living History Podcast fame. It was a lovely chat, covering everything from my goals with the history of the coffeehouse demonstration and first person interaction space, how I hide my hair when in period clothes, the difficulties in doing first person at largely 3rd person events, dealing with kids and of course the perenial question of what defines living history vs. reenacting.

It was an honor to be able to share my thoughts on living history with a wider audience. I hope hearing this will get some of you excited about visiting the coffeehouse during the upcoming season, encourage more people to try first person reenacting or to remain dedicated to their impressions and most of all I hope you all enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed talking!
