PopCon #123: Living History — Why Historical Reenacting Matters
Is historical reenacting just cosplay for history nerds, or is it something much deeper? Andrew and Thomas explain why it’s the latter.
In this episode of “The Pop Culture Contrarian,” we dive into the world of historical reenacting from Civil War battlefields to the 1880s American West. Andrew shares how he got started as a teenager, why he recently joined an 1880s frontier group, and what it’s like to step into the boots of a real historical figure. If you’ve ever seen people in period clothes at Gettysburg, Chickamauga, or Colonial Williamsburg and wondered, “What are these people doing?” this episode is your behind-the-scenes look.
