Kev Lochun

Kev Lochun is the Deputy Digital Editor of HistoryExtra. As well as commissioning content from expert historians, he can also be found interviewing them on the award-winning HistoryExtra podcast. He was previously Deputy Editor of BBC History Revealed. Kev is an arch-fan of all things medieval and Viking, with a particular interest in the intersections between history and pop culture. Under the guise of exploring history, he has trained in 14th-century Italian broadsword (courtesy of Fiore dei Liberi, who was kind enough to leave a manual), learned to sail a Viking longship in Roskilde, and hiked the ancient Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail in Japan’s Kii peninsula. These days, he’s a defiantly average archer. Prior to joining the history portfolio, Kev wrote about space science for <a href="https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com">BBC Sky at Night Magazine</a>.
