Series Two Extra Topping: The Mangled Ones

In S2E1 we met Rogan Taylor, author of The Death and Resurrection Show a book which traces a path from popular entertainment to the darkened yurts of our nomadic ancestors. After writing this book Rogan went on to pioneer the world's first post-graduate 'football' degree and write many books on the subject. During our conversation he talked about football in relation to myth, ritual, suffering and community. It's a unique and fascinating perspective on the sport that will stay with you.
