The petulant child is now an adult and ruling a country – but what actually happened during Witiza’s reign? Hear about the 18th Council of Toledo – or not -, the Great Portrait Switcheroo, and bishops getting laid in Witiza’s episode!

I’m going to be honest here, guys. I did not write a script for this episode. We just kinda turned on the mikes and winged it. You’re just going to have to listen to the episode because I have no notes to put in this blog post. Honestly can’t believe this episode topped 15 minutes . . .
