Rachel in the offices of Skirmish Magazine

Stephen had a chance this week to speak via Skype with Rachel Evans of Skirmish Magazine from her office in the UK. Despite some occasional sound issues, they worked through it all to discuss, amongst other things:
- How Rachel got involved in Living History
- Skirmish Magazine – producing a publication for all areas of the LH community
- Public versus Private events
- Battlefield preservation
- Other magazines with a historical focus that Rachel edits
This episode is a little longer, but we felt worth presenting straight through.
