Jamie Harrison joins Rowan to bring us the tale of the most famous statue that almost never existed - Michelangelo’s statue of David.

She covers the life of Michelangelo and the creation of the statue of David. She and Rowan also dive into modern art, teenage mutant ninja turtles, and the queer relationships Michelangelo may (or may not) have had.
