After our Alexander The Great series ended, we were trying to think of another topic to tackle that involved beauty, love, war, evil shit, fucking, rape, more war, betrayal, homoerotica, heretoerotica, plague, and philosophy.

One of our listeners actually suggested The Renaissance and we went BOOM!

It really sank in for us when we took a group of listeners on a tour of Europe in 2018 and spend a few days with them in Florence. We decided we want to live there and hope this podcast will teach us everything we need to know in order to get part-time jobs as tour guides.
