Consider this our gift to you—because nothing says "We love you" like tuberculosis, stolen art, and the earthly conquests. Trust us, it’ll make sense. Maybe.Available wherever you get your podcasts… if you dare. 😏🔥(P.S. No monsters were harmed in the making of this episode… but several historical figures might wish they had been.)Music provided by https://slipstreammusic.com
