Welcome to episode 41 of 2 Grooms 1 Plot! A podcast where two life-long storytellers talk about stories!

On today’s episode, we continue our summer series breaking down each episode of the show, ‘Mary & George.’ In the 5th episode of the series, ‘The Golden City,’ as Mary gains more power, her marriage with Sir Thomas deteriorates, while Diego, Count of Gondomar, informs King James of Sir Walter Raleigh's attack on the Spanish in Guiana, which defies a peace treaty. George, now part of the Privy Council, naively supports Raleigh's tales of war and gold, unaware of Raleigh's true intentions, leading to tension as Prince Charles grows more bitter and Queen Anne falls ill. Amidst this political turmoil, George faces the harsh reality of his influence when King James orders Raleigh's execution, and Mary realizes she is losing control over George.
