The Borgias After Show recaps, reviews and discusses episodes of Showtime's The Borgias.Show Summary: The Borgias, led by patriarch Rodrigo, are a family of outsiders from Spain who try to take over control of Renaissance-era Italy. Through the use of bribery, extortion and torture, Rodrigo rises up the ranks to become pope. Two of Rodrigo's children are used as pawns by being married off to members of rival families at a young age. Vanozza, Rodrigo's long-time mistress and mother of his children, and Giulia Farnese battle for the elder Borgia's affections. The story of the Borgias has inspired such works as Machiavelli's political treatise "The Prince" and Mario Puzo's "The Godfather."

    Where are the other seasons?
    I was looking forward to listening to season one and two but I guess you will not be recording anymore Borgia's.

    Really, desperately need a fact checker....
    This is a mildly entertaining podcast if you are in desperate need for a Borgias recap, but the hosts are criminally uninformed. They have NO historical knowledge, and often make conjectures that are completely false. I can forgive historical inaccuracies, but they don't even make much of an attempt to learn the plot of the actual show. Characters are confused, their motives are completely misconstrued. Their discussions are shallow, and often miss the point. It's a bit of a mess. Don't take anything they say as fact, because most of it is way off. Calling the renaissance era the "dark ages" is a pretty good example of how lost these people are when it comes to this time period. It's a shame because I would really like to find a good Borgias' podcast.
