1.01 - Bring Out Your Dead (popes)

Are the good old days truly the good old days? Hosts Kinsey and Ellie embark on their maiden voyage through the darkest depths of history’s archives. On today’s journey our hosts plunge into the murky history of the papacy at the turn of the 10th century. A time when popes possessed great political power, but were also prone to being poisoned. We’ll learn all about Pope Formosus and his horrible crime of coveting the papal throne… for which he was put on trial… 9 months after dying. Prepare yourself for an intriguing tale from an era where even the dead were not spared from trial and punishment.   Tune in to find out more.   Podcast theme intro, outro, & guitar transition music by Transistor.fm.
