Beneath The Surface
95% of homicides are committed by males...and 76% of the victims are also male. Men are over-represented in prisons, in the army, and in combative sports. I explore the question "Why do men fight?" with two of my martial arts friends, Shawn Leahy and Zach Yuen. We talk about bullying, self-defense, reputation, and "monkey dances."
Shawn Leahy is an amateur kickboxer, and Zach holds a blackbelt in both karate, and Japanese Jiu-Jitsu.

Don't talk about religion or politics is the advice you normally get to prevent getting into fights - Bill Morrow and I do both in this episode of the BeneathTheSurface podcast. Does religion cause violence? The mind of the average person seems to connect the two issues - the Crusades, Islamic Jihadists, the Israeli-Palestinian conclict - but is this connection justified? We explore this question in depth in this episode, well beyond the scope of what you'd normally hear from your average pundit.
Bill Morrow is the Undergraduate Chair of the Religious Studies program at Queen's University, Professor of Hebrew Scriptures, teacher of the course Religion and Violence, and one of the smartest men I know.
