On this episode of Carmichael Clan Radio, we're joined by Rocky Roeger of USA Kilts. For some of you, Rocky will be a familiar voice, as he is the host of the popular USA Kilts and Celtic Traditions YouTube channel.

Rocky is also the founder and owner of USA Kilts in Spring City, PA – one of the largest and best kilt-makers in the United States.

In this episode we talk to Rocky about how he got started in kilt-making, and some of the considerations a person new to wearing a kilts should make when purchasing a kilt. We cover different types of fabrics, styles, how a kilt should fit and be worn, the different accessories, and a lot more! This one promises to deliver something new to everyone – regardless of how long you’ve been wearing kilts.

On today’s show, I talk with Scottish artist and author Katie Carmichael about her latest project, a book titled My Great-Grandfather, the Alien. The book is a graphic novel tracing her great-grandfather's life from Scotland to New York as an employee of the United Fruit Company. Family legend told the story of Thomas being murdered in New York, but Katie’s research revealed that there might be more to the story.

On today’s show, the Clan Carmichael USA newsletter editor, Leah Hargrove, talks with West Point professor of history and Hundred Years’ War scholar, Dr. Clifford Rogers about the Battle of Baugé of 1421.

This episode features a fascinating discussion about the history of the garter that appears in almost every family and clan crest, an in-depth talk about the Battle of Baugé, and a few other topics related to the history of warfare.

For Carmichaels across the world, the Battle of Baugé is one of the most significant events in our clan history, and is the battle from which we were presented our family crest that depicts a broken spear, symbolizing the de-horsing of the Duke of Clarence -brother to Henry V- by Sir John Carmichael.
