Lucas van Leyden for today’s episode. The artwork shows two young

people, one dying or dead and the other one about to be so. Before you

click away, if you have the mental space for hearing about fictional

suicide Sydney would be grateful. 
Listen as Sydney describes the scene, tells a story that features a lioness and love gone wrong, and fate.
