In our debut episode of Living Medieval, host Jess steps into the Reenactors’ Corner for a lively conversation with Mitchell Lawrence, Charlotte Fielding, and Katya Zielonko—three passionate and experienced medieval Living Historians. Together, they unpack what Living History truly means, why it matters, and how it goes far beyond weekend dress-up.

From meticulous research to immersive portrayals, these reenactors share how they strive for historical accuracy while keeping audiences engaged.

We explore how newcomers can get involved, the delicate dance between authenticity and accessibility, and why re-enactment is a powerful tool for education, connection, and community. These three voices are helping raise the profile of the hobby—and redefining what it means to bring the past to life.
