It’s a warm welcome back to the Sword Guy Podcast to Alexander Fürgut, who was one of my interviewers on Episode 132, Podcasting with the Sword Whisperer. He's the co-host of the Schwertgeflüster HEMA podcast and of Schwabenfedern Ulm, a large HEMA club in Germany. We're here today to talk about his new book, The Schielhau in Detail: a comprehensive guide about fundamentals, tactics and strategy of this longsword technique.

We talk about the challenges of writing a book, and how much tougher Alexander found the process than he expected, especially as he immediately went on to translate the original German version into English. Will he write another? We have a chat about possible subjects, and the best approach when choosing a topic to write about. Is it better to write something with the widest possible audience, or is it better to focus on something very niche, like, for example, the Schielhau?
