Ghosting the Pope – The Renaissance #236

from The Renaissance Times

On this episode, Michelangelo is done waiting around in Rome — he packs up and heads back to Florence, effectively ghosting the Pope before the Pope can ghost him any harder. Julius II is furious and tries every trick in the book to drag him back, including leaning on Florence’s own leader Soderini, who knows you can’t bully a prima donna and writes the most flattering letter of recommendation in Renaissance history. We end with Michelangelo finally heading to Bologna to face the music — or the Pope, which at this point might be worse. 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.
