Podcasts about Venice

Show Notes: Italy — land of empires, saints… and monsters. In this haunting series of The Devil Within, we uncover the chilling legends that lurk behind Italy's beauty. From the night battles of the Benandanti in Friuli to the wolf cults of Lucera, the possessed convent of Prato, and the submerged beasts of Venice — these are not just stories. These are warnings. Across 12 gripping episodes, we explore centuries of folklore, true crime, and the terrifying spaces where they overlap. Werewolves in noble courts. Skinwalkers among shepherds. Choirs that sang to the abyss. Some say these tales are myth. Others know better. EPISODE 4: The Werewolf of Naples A noble family's darkest secret — a man who prowled the city's outskirts, not as a prince, but as a beast. EPISODE 5: The Possessed Convent of Prato In 1587, the nuns of Prato claimed they were stalked by a wolfish demon. Was it mass hysteria — or a predator cloaked in faith? EPISODE 6: The Wolf and the Pope A Vatican advisor accused of lycanthropy. A secret tribunal. And a question that shook the Church: can a soul turn feral?

Show Notes: Italy — land of empires, saints… and monsters. In this haunting series of The Devil Within, we uncover the chilling legends that lurk behind Italy's beauty. From the night battles of the Benandanti in Friuli to the wolf cults of Lucera, the possessed convent of Prato, and the submerged beasts of Venice — these are not just stories. These are warnings. Across 12 gripping episodes, we explore centuries of folklore, true crime, and the terrifying spaces where they overlap. Werewolves in noble courts. Skinwalkers among shepherds. Choirs that sang to the abyss. Some say these tales are myth. Others know better. EPISODE 1: The Curse of Lucera In the shadow of the ancient Roman colony of Lucera, a wolf cult thrived — and its echoes still haunt the Apulian hills. Explore how settlers, invaders, and wolves shared blood, soil, and secrets. EPISODE 2: The Benandanti of Friuli They called themselves “the good walkers” — but the Church called them witches. Discover the night battles fought between these dream warriors and the forces of evil. EPISODE 3: The Skinwalkers of Abruzzo Shepherds in the high pastures whispered of men who could wear wolf skins… and of the terrible price they paid for their hunger.

Jeff Bezos drops a cool $50 million on a Venice wedding that makes Versailles look modest, complete with foam parties and enough champagne to fill the canals. Meanwhile, Trump's first six months delivered Supreme Court wins, NATO compliance, and DeSantis building Alligator Alcatraz in the Everglades. Plus, Secretary Noem's radio PSA has a very different tone than the previous administration.From Somali flags in Minneapolis to Von Bülow documentaries, this episode proves the 70s and 80s were the last time America made sense – when wrestling was real, neighbors weren't narcs, and nobody had to explain what a woman was.

It's summer, the time of year each nation flings its most obnoxious and provincial citizenry into the rest of the world on cruise ships and discount airlines. And the rest of the world responds to the binge drinking, the clacking of roller suitcases, and public displays of ignorance with, "Why are these people my problem exactly?" It's the annual Gringos On the Move episode, this time covering mass tourism at Jonestown, the Disneylandification of Kyoto, and the anti-tourist and expat protests in Mexico City, Venice, and Barcelona.  Shownotes and references: http://theculturewedeserve.substack.com

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHWe meet this neat two-piece key being put together to make one key. We're on a Russian submarine and they have this AI system called The Entity that'll help them evade their enemy. But while testing one day, the AI becomes sentient and makes them think someone is attacking them. Turns out, no one is and they end up getting struck by their own torpedo. The key is now split up and floated up to the surface.  We then catch up with Ethan Hunt who is given his new mission: get both pieces of the key, one of which has already been obtained by Ilsa. So he has to get the one half from Ilsa, and then track down the other one. So he heads to a desert and tracks her down. He gets the key and tells her that she's dead.  Ethan then sneaks into a meeting to hear Kittridge, who is randomly back, explain that the Entity can manipulate cyberspace to control global defense intelligence and financial networks. He tells them that Ethan Hunt was on the case but we don't know where he is. Well, we do. He's in the room in a mask. He tells Kittridge that he refuses to give the half key to Kittridge but tells him he's going to find the other half and destory the Entity. Ethan meets up with Benji and Luther and the travel to Abu Dhabi to intercept the buyer of the other half of the key. Ethan's plan was to sell their half of the key to the buyer, and then follow the buyer to figure out what it unlocks. Ethan locates the buyer but the key is stolen by a professional thief named Grace. Ethan confronts Grace and offers to put the key back in the buyer's pocket in exchange for a generous payment of $4 million.  But by the time they get back to the buyer, he's dead and then we find out that the key they have is actually a counterfeit. While Ethan was distracted but Luther and Benji disarming a weapon, Grace steals the real key from Ethan.  Ethan suspects foul play after seeing Gabriel, a powerful terrorist who appears to be working with the Entity. He and Ethan had an encounter with each other prior to Ethan becoming an IMF agent. So, he aborts the mission and the team scatters.  Grace escapes to Rome but is apprehended. Ethan helps her escape but now they're both being chased - there's an Entity operative named Paris and then there's a US agent Jasper Briggs. Paris and Briggs get into a shootout which gives Ethan and Grace enough time to escape.  Ethan meets back up with Luther and Benji and Ilsa joins them. Ethan and Ilsa follow Grace to Venice where they go to a party held by the the White Widow. Luther had figured out by analyzing the video feed from the airport that Gabriel is working for the Entity. Ilsa says that Gabriel is the Entity's messenger and that the key leads to the Entity's source code.  So the party is poppin. White Widow, Gabriel, Paris, Ethan, Grace, Ilsa... they gather at the party. Ethan realizes that the party was organized by the Entity as well. Ethan knows that White Widow is trying to get the key but doesn't want to keep the key for herself since she does not know what it unlocks. She cannot decide whether to give the key to her friend Ethan, or to Gabriel. Tapped into the Entity, Gabriel proclaims he will possess the completed key the next day and that either Ilsa or Grace will die. While Ethan is attempting to convince the White Widow to not give the key to Gabriel,  Gabriel escapes. The Entity leads Grace and Isla to Gabriel. Gabriel knocks out Grace and kills Ilsa, devastating Ethan.  Grace agrees to impersonate the White Widow and take the key during the sale on the train the next day. Ethan needs to figure out how he's going to get on that train to keep Grace safe.  The next day, on the train, Gabriel kills the engine crew and destroys the throttle and brake. Grace finds the White Widow, knocks her out, and then goes to meet with Kittridge who is the buyer.  Paris & Gabriel meets Director of National Intelligence Denlinger, who divulges all the information he has about the entity and how it went rogue. He explains that inside the submarine is a chamber that only the the completed key can unlock with the original Entity source code which would allow the holder to destroy or control The Entity.  Now that he has all the information, Gabriel kills him.  Kittridge agrees to the White Widow Grace's deal of $100 million and protection. But she ends up pickpocketing the key completed key from Kittridge.  So how is Ethan going to get on the train and save the day? Well, Benji navigates him to the top of this mountain where he ride his motocycle off of it and parachutes onto the train.  Grace takes off the mask and tries to escape but it's too late. She's about to be shot but Ethan comes crashing through the side of the train and saves her. But the key goes on the floor and is picked up by Gabriel.  He goes to the top of the train and Ethan follows him. They begin to fight but Gabriel escapes and sets off an explosion to the bridge that's coming up. But Ethan manages to steal the key back from him without him noticing. Grace and Ethan detach the locomotive from the rest of the train which saves the passengers. But they aren't safe yet. They have to fight their way to the back of the train as more and more of the train continues to fall off the cliff. Right as they're about to fall, Paris shows up and pulls them to safety.  She tells Ethan where to take the key and then passes out from a stab wound. Ethan has to leave and can't take Grace with him. Grace agrees to work with Kittridge and Ethan lands and is joined by Benji now that their next mission is to successfully destroy the Entity. 

Gary comments on several news items, including a real head-scratcher where some liberals want to say babies in the womb are citizens, despite the fact that they will argue in other situations that the "fetus" is not actually a human baby. Apparently the mother's intention is what creates or negates the humanity of what's in her womb.

We recorded this episode from the sweltering driveway at the shore. Erin vents about a frustrating Uber Eats delay that left her coffeeless. We have a special guest...Bucky, snoring beside us. Erin becomes a spay and recount a local parking dispute that spiraled into yelling and a police visit. Erin shares updates on her summer fitness journey, including an unexpected push-up challenge. We dive into local gossip about sky high lot prices and dock disputes, plus broader topics like the recent Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez wedding in Venice, Italy, which we heard cost between $50 million and drew A listers like Oprah, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Tom Brady, though it sparked protests from locals over its extravagance. We also touch on Olympic running debates, like a potential Tyreek Hill versus Noah Lyles race and a swimmer's inspiring story from the 2000 Olympics. We discuss odd findings, like more microplastics in glass bottles than plastic ones and ghost kitchens hiding behind fancy names on delivery apps. Steve from Blue's Clues is starting a new podcast for adults. Erin reads a Benjamin Franklin book to her six year old at bedtime.

Our first remote episode, with Rocky dialing in from the Jersey Shore, we bring unfiltered critique to the mic in this Summer Edition episode. Rachel recounts her glamorous European wedding circuit, including a skinny dipping incident gone wrong, while Rocky formulates her plan for feet-based OnlyFans domination The duo then goes all in on Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos' Venice wedding — from fashion misses to celeb guest list clout-chasing. Plus, Brad Pitt's weird wardrobe era, Naomi Campbell's unexpected pop debut, and Jeremy Allen White's flower dad era. It's giving social rehab, bridal blunders, and toes. Let's go. Hosted on Acast.

It’s July, and despite what we’re hearing about close-to-home travel, Americans are still headed to Europe in large numbers and to tourism hot spots like Venice, Barcelona, Greece and Lisbon. Many of these places have also been the sites of protests over tourism – in Barcelona, for example, protesters were again using water guns to spray visitors in an attempt to make their concerns known. Travel advisor Miriam Martinez of Revigorate, who works with and advises American clients, joins tours editor Brinley Hineman and host Rebecca Tobin to talk about whether travelers are concerned about overtourism protests and anti-tourism sentiment; how advisors and tour companies are packaging and selling lesser-visited destinations to travelers; and possible solutions to overcrowded cities. This episode was recorded June 30 and has been edited for length and clarity.

In the beginning...A man named Johnny Rad donned a tuxedo jacket and sunglasses, and opened skateboarding's first night club, the Blue Tile Lounge. He crooned. Fans followed, and a musical revolution was born.But one day, dark forces began to invade the skateworld. The Blue Tile Lounge was forced to shut its doors- its whereabouts lost, seemingly forever.Hardcore skaters mourned its absence, and true believers sought out the missing location of this legendary venue.Among these seekers were a duo called The Bones Brigade Audio Show.They knew the only way to find a hardcore skate lounge was to ask the world's most hardcore skaters, and began their search in California... at a place called Venice...Join us, shall you?You can help support our show by buying us a coffee: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.buymeacoffee.com/BBASpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thebonesbrigadeaudioshow.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thebonesbrigadeaudioshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Bones Brigade Audio Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email us your questions and feedback to read on future episodes:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thebonesbrigadeaudioshow.com/contact⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?

This week, Jemma and Marina tackle Venice's most OTT nuptials as Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez say “I do” amidst a spectacle that felt like a Succession spin-off. From helicopters to haute couture and a Vogue cover cameo, the ladies break down the eyebrow-raising moment, including Leo Di Caprio's terrible attempt at camouflage and a Dolce & Gabbana dress that could have Bezos in for a long night. But things turn darker, and dumber, with the U.S. Senate's passage of the “Big Bullsh*t Bill,” a legislative grenade lobbed straight at America's most vulnerable. Marina and Jemma break down the grim fallout: Medicaid slashed, clean energy sabotaged, food assistance gutted… all while millionaires snag tax cuts and ICE gets worryingly bloated. And just when it couldn't get more dystopian - enter Trump and Musk. Again. The MAGA soap opera gets spicier by the day with threats of deportation, party-splitting tantrums, and Elon hinting at a new political party. The ladies are living for the chaos - and if this feud reignites properly, the popcorn's already in the microwave.There's also a pudding from satirist Rosie Holt that's too pitch-perfect to miss. So pull up a gondola - because Jemma and Marina are taking no prisoners.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcastPatreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawlTwitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastBlueSkyhttps://bsky.app/profile/thetrawl.bsky.socialCreated and Produced by Jemma Forte & Marina PurkissEdited by Max Carrey

And proxy season is only shareholder proposals and the anti woke? Are you fucking joking?No mention of the average approval for directors?No mention of the rise of activists - this is the most active year for activist investors in recent memory? Mike Levin has been cataloguing it on the Shareholder Primacy podcast - more activism, larger slates, more wins?Isn't the story how ISS and Glass Lewis ignore directors unless there's an activist involved? Or that views on how to measure director performance are shifting?No, the constant story we hear is about the 500 or so shareholder proposals that happen - not the 80,000 active directors that get a voteInvestors are racistPhilippine corporate governance hindered by highly concentrated ownership, OECD saysCONCENTRATED corporate ownership, particularly among family owned listed firms, undermines corporate governance, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said.“These ownership structures often blur the lines between ownership and management, which can lead to the appointment of successors based on family ties or loyalty rather than qualifications, increasing the risk of poor leadership and weak oversight,It said such controlling shareholders may choose to benefit themselves at the expense of minority shareholders through related-party transactions, asset transfers or the appropriation of company resources for personal or familial use.The OECD said corporate governance weaknesses and concentrated ownership structures continue to weigh on investor confidence in some Asian marketsI read the Sweden report - Sweden is majority dual class shareholders held by foundations, with power concentrated amongst white men even though they mandate 40% women on boardsMinority shareholders basically have no real rights, as the companies are owned by a web of family and foundation interests - but OECD said:… a shareholder with practical majority control of the votes in the company can exert significant control, but also that efficient governance requires there to be a shareholder, or a coalition of shareholders, that monitors the company, engages with the board, and proposes and votes on important matters such as the election of board directors. Dual class share structures have been allowed in Swedish law for over a century to facilitate such engagement.Extensive individual shareholder rights, allowing any shareholder (regardless of the size of their holdings) to add items to the agenda of the general shareholder meeting, to ask the board questions at the general shareholder meeting, and to challenge a decision by the general shareholder meeting in court (with the court being able to invalidate a decision and even replace it with another).So it's ok in Sweden for the majority of the market to be controlled because shareholders can go to the annual meeting and complain without power, but in Asia where they don't bother pretending it's bad?Companies are fucking with your votesPress Release: Deirdre Stanley to Join PayPal's Board of Directors - Jun 24, 2025Increase board size, add person… 19 days after the AGMNo mention of expansion in the proxy, no mention of Deidre StanleyData I have on executive searches suggests it takes an average of about 220 days to find a CEO - assume that it takes 50% of that to place a directorThat would mean PayPal likely started searching for Deidre to join the board at the beginning of March this yearThe proxy came out April 21, 2025 - for nearly two months, PayPal knew it would expand the board and add this person, but it never mentioned it in the proxy or allowed investors to vote on their own representation?I ran numbers on how often this happens - companies fucking with the timelines to add directors to their boards without votes less than 30 days after the AGM. If you want the full numbers, go download our Proxy Countdown show, but here are the highlights:In the last 5 years, it's happened 247 times - at more than a dozen companies, it's happened more than onceAt Rockwell Automation, this happened EVERY YEAR for THREE YEARS - they paid a person without a voteHeadliniest of the WeekDR: People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis"MM: Elon Musk Says He Is So Sorry for His Horrible BehaviorWho Won the Week?DR: Charlize Theron: “I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding.

In this episode of Venice Talks, Monica Cesarato sits down with Valeria Boncompagni, the creative force behind one of Venice's most intimate and soulful jewelry ateliers. Nestled under the arcades of Piazza San Marco, Valeria's workshop is a sanctuary of emotion, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty.A master of the ancient lost-wax casting technique, Valeria doesn't just design jewelry—she sculpts feelings, memories, and personal stories into bronze and silver. Her pieces are not made to follow trends but to follow emotions. Each creation is a wearable sculpture, infused with history, heritage, and heart.

SHOW NOTESThe summer vacation isn't just leisure—it's become deeply woven into how we think about happiness and success. For generations, we've chased sunshine and escape as rewards for hard work, proof we've "made it," and increasingly, as pressure valves for modern stress. But what happens when our collective desire for paradise starts destroying the very places we seek? This episode explores how tourism transformed from elite privilege to industrial-scale movement, and why climate change is now threatening the psychological foundation of modern leisure.When locals in Barcelona started attacking tourists with water pistols, chanting "Tourists go home!", it wasn't random violence—it was a desperate cry for help from communities being destroyed by overtourism. With 1.3 billion international tourists flooding destinations that can't handle them, we're witnessing the collapse of entire neighborhoods, from Venice's medieval streets to Ibiza's parking lots where tourism workers sleep in their cars because every apartment has become an Airbnb.This episode reveals the brutal economics behind your vacation: how the $1 trillion tourism industry displaces families, breaks city infrastructure, and extracts wealth while leaving locals with poverty wages and nowhere to live. From cruise ships dumping 17,000 passengers on tiny islands to digital nomads "dating" cities while pricing out residents, mass tourism has become a form of economic colonialism that loves places to death. But this destruction isn't inevitable—if the industry would do the one thing it refuses to consider: accept limits. A CALL TO ACT: The World's Most Comprehensive Database of Eco-SolutionsTrumping Trump: Database of 200+ Organizations United in Blunting Trump. Episode !09 (very informative) Webpage

Urs Fischer is a contemporary artist renowned for his experimental and highly unpredictable practice of sculpture, installation, painting, and photography. He often uses unconventional materials, such as wax, bread, and everyday objects, which he employs to explore themes of transformation, impermanence, and creative destruction, allowing his works to transform or decay over time. Fischer's work, influenced by movements like Surrealism and Pop Art, is marked by a dynamic interplay between construction and deconstruction, permanence and ephemerality, inviting audiences to reconsider the boundaries of art and the fleeting nature of existence. Fischer has held major solo exhibitions at institutions such as Kunsthaus Zürich, the New Museum in New York, Palazzo Grassi in Venice, MOCA in Los Angeles, and galleries including Sadie Coles HQ in London and Gagosian locations worldwide—most recently at Gagosian Gstaad in Switzerland. ------ Thank you to the sponsors that fuel our podcast and our team: LMNT Electrolytes https://drinklmnt.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ Athletic Nicotine https://www.athleticnicotine.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ Squarespace https://squarespace.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ Sign up to receive Tetragrammaton Transmissions https://www.tetragrammaton.com/join-newsletter

Liz Plank joins Joanna Coles for a scorching postmortem on the Venice wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez—a $50 million display of “confetti capitalism” that collided head-on with a collapsing middle class. Plank, whose viral Substack column captured the online fury, recounts watching the foam-drenched bacchanal while her paper straw dissolved in her mouth and seniors were zip-tied at the Capitol protesting Medicaid cuts. She argues the grotesque contrast isn't just offensive—it's politically clarifying. As celebrities scrambled for camera time and Vogue's fawning coverage backfired, Plank points to a growing revolt: from Zohran's shock primary win in New York to Hungary's defiant pride march. She connects the dots from Bezos's billionaire cosplay to the Democratic Party's disconnect with working people—and calls for all to use their voice, both online and off, to advocate for real political change.  Hosted on Acast.

Tommy and Ben grapple with the fallout from Trump and Netanyahu's war with Iran. They talk about how America's massive bunker buster bombs didn't solve the problem of Iran's nuclear program, why the strikes were illegal under international law, and how the drumbeat for regime change will never go away. They also discuss the short-term thinking and triumphalism running rampant in DC and the media and Israel's own under-the-radar nuclear program. Additionally, they cover this week's NATO summit and Trump's less-than-reassuring statement on mutual defense for member countries, some rare good news about a prisoner release in Belarus, how companies like Palantir could fast-track us into a surveillance state, and why Jeff Bezos's Venice wedding is going off the rails. Then, Ben speaks with Nilo Tabrizy, a visual forensics reporter at the Washington Post and co-author of the forthcoming book, For the Sun After Long Nights: The Story of Iran's Women-Led Uprising, about how Iranian civilians have experienced the last 12 days. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
