Ep 5 - Caravaggio in the Big City

Sean and Angela discuss Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, if art can survive the universal solvent of the internet, the dull managers of hard power guiding the antisocial artisan/conduits of soft power, and the rewards (getting paid by the Knights of Malta) and risks (dying of malaria in Tuscany) of Doing the Race.
