We would like to thank Greenoak Media for their technical support for the Chivalry Today Podcast. Show theme and incidental music composed and performed by Joe Novelozo.

Correction: In the introduction to Episode 24, you may have noticed Scott claimed the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail had been “released nearly a half decade ago.” Those of you with superior mathematical skills surely realized that this movie is a bit more than five years old. Monty Python’s lampoon of Arthurian legend was released in the U.S. in 1975, and what Scott meant to say was “in the nearly half century since the movie’s release.” (Since Scott remembers seeing this movie in theaters, this lapse in detail may be attributed to his advanced age.) We apologize for any confusion this miscalculation may have caused.
