The Venetian Stories Newsletter is an older sibling to the podcast.
It covers many of the same arguments, but usually in a shorter and more visual form, suitable for a 5–10 minute read, compared to 25–30 minutes for the podcast episodes.
There will be at most two or three newsletters a month. I won’t be spamming your inbox.
