Carolina and Robin are back in your ears for a bonus episode to mark the best real-life sleepover that is the Papal Conclave.

Politics include: faith and politics being quite icky together, how the West Wing really did dictate political art through the 2010s, and how electing a Pope is actually not that dissimilar to electing your Constituency Labour Party Secretary. Genuinely.

Conclave nerds, rejoice:

  • A Conclave expert runs you through the election process (The Spectator)
  • The best print review of Conclave out there (Michael Wood for the LRB)
  • The OG Patrick Harris covers the politics of Pope Francis' funeral (The Observer)
