Pat makes his return to the podcast with a folk rock concept album all about one of our favorite American pastimes, professional wrestling. The Mountain Goats' 2015 release, "Beat The Champ." though frontman John Darnielle has stated that several of its songs are "really more about death and difficult-to-navigate interior spaces than wrestling."
