On this episode of The JBSE, Jake has caught the football (European variety) fever! After watching a bunch of Celtic games over the last few weeks, and looking into the historical dominance of The Old Firm duo of Rangers and Celtic over the rest of the league, the idea for a What If episode arose! So, What If... Celtic and Rangers weren't in the Scottish Premier League? Which other Scottish clubs, so long starved of league titles, would stand to benefit the most from a power vacuum at the top of the SPL tree? All will be answered, as we wave the magic wand to look at a 21st Century of SPL... without The Old Firm!

The JBSE is back, and there's much sport to discuss. There's one topic in particular, however, that demands and deserves an episode all of its own. That is the life of Shane Warne, mythic Australian cricketer, who sadly passed away last weekend, at just 52 years of age. Jake shares his thoughts about the career of a man who was the match-winner on a team full of match-winners, a wizard of his craft, one of the true sporting artists.

Jake is privileged to be joined, all the way from Dublin, by former hurler, and current hurling (and history!) enthusiast, Mark Hogan! The conversation covers many topics, from how hurling captured Mark's passion as a youngster, the possibility for expression within the sport, sliotars and zombie hurleys, the ancient mythological history of the game, the significance of Gaelic games within Irish culture, and so much more! Join us, as we journey into hurling and beyond! Follow the JBSE on Twitter, if you please! Have a read about Cú Chulainn and the early mythological origins of hurling! Listen to the anthems prior to the 2007 Rugby match between Ireland and England at Croke Park!

Jake is flying solo on the pod, as he dives into a second volume of the Audio Journal. Lots of thoughts came up during the USFL Draft, about the 96 young humans given footballing hope via the USFL, winding journeys, how opportunities end, the uneasiness of finding myself in the role of a critic, the importance of telling human stories.
