The Warrior Pope and the Marble Dreamer – The Renaissance #235
Monday, 6 April, 2026
Michelangelo gets summoned to Rome by Pope Julius II — the baddest, most belligerent pope who ever lived — to build the greatest tomb the world has ever seen. Mickey heads to Carrara for six months to find the perfect marble, starts dreaming of flooding Rome with giant statues, and then one of the most famous sculptures from antiquity gets dug out of the ground right in front of him. We also get into why Julius II absolutely despised the Borgias, and Cameron rocks his new Michael Caine glasses throughout. There's something secret here that only members can see. Probably an audio player or something. If you want to listen to one of our many free episodes, go here.
