The Fans of the Forge Show - featuring Forged in Fire S6E19 - Ram Dao wrap up, and more!
For this episode, Sean and Chris decided to experiment with adding some additional segments after our standard Forged in Fire Wrap Up for the great Ram Dao episode.

Ben Spangler
Kasey Kinkade - https://www.instagram.com/kaseykinkade/
Adam Jankowski - https://www.instagram.com/practicalsteel/
We also added some new segments:
The Social Media Roundup - where we discuss the latest/most interesting bladesmith related posts we saw on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube
Tales from Infinite Forge - Chris and Sean may not be accomplished bladesmiths, but Chris's new workshop, Infinite Forge is set up and he's been getting some practice in. We talk about what we made that week, including any specialty food items or household projects we may have worked on.
BladeSpeak - where we do a deep dive into the definition of some knife related terminology and discuss why that feature is important
It's an attempt to break past our normal Forged in Fire content and to make this whole YouTube show/podcast more sustainable for the future. Please comment and let us know what you think of the new segments. We apologize if they're a little rough. It was our first time attempting to talk about this stuff.
