Hosted by Lora Thorson of Defenders USA, the Defenders LIVE Podcast moves beyond simple technique to explore the broader, often unspoken aspects of personal defense.

Each conversation is grounded in real-world experience, offering tangible insights that bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and lived application.
