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.
The podcast is a part of History Walks Venice — bespoke history tours in Venice, Italy.
There is also a related, but separate Venetian Stories newsletter.
Your guide is René Seindal — rene@venetianstories.com.
