The Genius of Leonardo da Vinci
Episode description
The term "genius" is banded around all too casually these days. Very few deserve the title. But this man definitely does. Artist. Anatomist. Engineer. Aviator. Gardener. There was nothing Leonardo da Vinci couldn't do. If he were alive today, he'd probably also be an excellent podcaster. But he isn't, so you're going to have to make do with Douglas and Hugh.
In this episode, we examine the world of Leonardo da Vinci. The Mona Lisa. The Last Supper. The helicopter. All singular creations, all from the same massive brain. Come join us as we probe into the life and works of one of the greatest ever-living humans. And talking of visionaries, you can also find out what happened when Hugh came back from the opticians with the wrong glasses. It doesn't end well.
