PONTIFACTS: Ranking the Popes

Bry and Fry were invited by David and Lucy of Tudoriferous to discuss several popes of the Renaissance Papacy, and had such a delightful time! And since this will serve as a preview for an upcoming era that Bry feels very strongly about, hear some of the raving now. In this episode, we all discuss scandal, nepotism, diabolism, and all that makes the Renaissance oh so juicy.
