A podcast and a newsletter — siblings, not twins.
The Venetian Stories Podcast
A podcast of Venetian Stories — episodes from the History of Venice from the time of Augustus until today. It is not a chronological narrative, but a series of freestanding episodes from the two millennia of Venetian history.
Chronology is, however, the mother of all History, and she cannot be ignored. Therefore, the first few episodes are a quick-paced chronological narrative of the most important events. Listen to those episodes first, for the background.
The schedule for now is for two episodes a month, or roughly every two weeks.

Episode 8 — Decline and fall
The 1600s and 1700s were a period of slow decline for Venice, until the Republic of Venice fell to Napoleon in 1797.
The Venetian Stories newsletter
Venetian Stories is also a newsletter. The newsletter will often, but not always, cover the same material as the podcast, but in a shorter and more visual form.
They’re siblings, but not twins.
To sign up for the Venetian Stories Newsletter, simply send an email with the word “Subscribe” in the subject line.
