We catch up with staff shuffles in the Trump cabinet, Canadian elections, and more crackdowns on expressing dissent around Israel. Then for the back half of this ep we’re pleased to bring you AROUND THE SMOKE, our new segment breaking down our picks, locks, and passes on who we think will be leading the Catholic Church in the next season. Will the next pontificate go to a flashy newcomer who can lead the franchise to a new era? A steady hand with a mastery of the fundamentals? Did Francis really put up the numbers we’re led to believe he did? Where’s a good Sixtus when you need him? Will, Matt & Felix break all the key stats down YOU need to know heading into this year’s Conclave.
