This is a fantastic episode. I chat with historian Daniele Bolelli about everything from rough and tumble frontier wrestling, Theodore Roosevelt sparring in the White House, what it's like to be a historian lecturing with bruises and black eyes, how martial arts helps people survive tough times, and much more.
