Shane and Cory review 'A Land So Strange' by Andres Resendez

Some said we would never be back. Some said our time had past. Some said "What the hell is the Skipping Church Podcast?" We're back after a very long break, joined by our friend Livingston, to talk fight sports, current corona news and for some reason, a long rant on Texas BBQ.

On this episode we discuss the "Spartan Myth" theory as well as the history of Greek warfare. We promise early on that we won't get into politics and current events but you should know by now that you can't trust us. Thanks for listening everyone! Check out the new instagram page if you haven't already @skippingchurchpodcast Remember, if each one of you tells just 10,000 other people about the podcast, we could be chilling on a yacht in the Mediterranean by Christmas. -Shane As always, thank you for listening and please reach out to us with any comments or critiques.

We are honored to be joined today by Professor David Larmour and returning guest Josh Kulseth for a discussion of combat sports, both ancient and modern. David H. J. Larmour (Ph.D. in Classical Philology, Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) is a Paul Whitfield Horn Professor of Classics at Texas Tech and Honorary Professor of Classics, Ancient History & Archaeology at the University of Birmingham. He has particular interests in Greek athletics & the Roman arena, Greek and Roman satire, lyric poetry, narrative theory, and comparative literature. Although grounded in classical philology, his research takes in display and representation of the body in text and space; the ideological underpinnings of competition, exile, memory and nostalgia; and the re-imagining of the classical past in the modern era. He also looks at how the physical borders of empires, and their accompanying mental categories, shape our understanding of the past, who we think we are, and whither we are headed.

We're back for the second episode this week, this time with our friend and jiujitsu training partner Josh. We talk about his pursuit of a Phd in Poetry and a whole hour's worth of literary knowledge that Cory and I are too dumb to understand. We had a great time learning about a path not taken (That's Robert Frost. He is also a poet from what I hear. See? I guess we aren't that ignorant).

Happy Late Thanksgiving Church Skippers! On this week's episode we were joined via video chat by our long time friend and podcast regular Livingston McKenzie. This was our first attempt at having a guest call in so please excuse any sound quality issues. If anyone has any feedback it would be much appreciated! We had a great conversion about the state of MMA and combat sports in general. The main topic of discussion was whether the UFC and MMA are in decline.
