  • Visiting Venice for the first or thirtieth time?

    A great podcast. Episodes on a range of topics - looking for somewhere to buy genuine Venetian articles made by a Venetian craftsman or interested in knowing how you can visit Venice with minimal impact or how Venice deals with the issues face across the world?

    Something for everyone and regular episodes.

  • Interesting podcast

    Monica is an engaging podcast host. The topics and guests are interesting. My only criticism is the quality of the audio- the volume seems to oscillate and at times it is difficult to hear/understand the speakers.
