Josh and Danny discuss the screamers, yellers, and bellowers of the piste. The article reviewed is from American Fencing Magazine. They discuss a letter to the editor from the winter 2006 issue.
If you don't have the magazine, check out the USFA. They don't have winter on their website yet, but if you become a USFA member, you can request one.
Let us know what you think after you listen, and post a comment. (look for the comment link below)
Enjoy!

Josh & Danny,
In many sports, exclamations that come during moments of aggression are somewhat expected, if not welcome. I'm thinking of tennis, karate, and even weight lifting. The exclamation is an indication of giving everything you've got to that moment.
However, the yells that I've seen in fencing always seem to come after the action is complete.
Can a fencer facing a banshee ask the director to silence their opponent? Can a fencer be carded for not obeying "unofficial" rules?
Re: the podcast, I think the intro should be a little shorter, and a little outro would be nice as well. I liked how one of the 'casts ended with Danny saying "see you on the strip!".
