Chinggis Khaanii Magtaal (Scott, Sean, & Dr. John C. Bennett)

Dr. Bennett joins us in third chair discussing his song suggestion: Batzorig Vaanchig's rendition of the traditional Mongolian song Chinggis Khaanii Magtaal (Ode to Genghis Khan/In Praise of Genghis Khan). During our discussion of the great Khan's life, we pontificate on the idea of ensuring your own immortality (it may involve conquering most of the world and fathering hundreds of children by multiple women), what the "retvrn to tradition" gang might be getting wrong, and the finer points of khoomei (Mongolian/Tuvan throat singing). While the song lyrics are relatively minimal historically speaking, this may be our most cerebral and dense episode yet. Enjoy!
