The Italian Renaissance Podcast
Welcome to the Italian Renaissance Podcast, where we discuss the culture and art of fifteenth and sixteenth century Italy. This podcast aims not only to provide a general overview of historical themes of the Renaissance, but also to dive deeply into interpreting how we understand the period today through analysis of key figures, moments, texts, but most importantly, the art. I intend this podcast to be both a useful study guide for students, and an engaging and digestible source of information for a general audience interested in enhancing their own understanding of Western history.

Ep. 10: Dante's Divine Comedy Part 1: Inferno
Abandon all hope, you who enter here, into this gruesome telling of Dante's Inferno! This discussion aims to breakdown the first canticle of The Divine Comedy into one digestible episode, through all nine circles of Hell. Get insight into Dante's poetic meter and style on the work as a whole, all while listening to excerpts from the work to outline how Dante punishes his sinners, deeper and deeper into the icy cold heart of Hell.
This information is must-know for anyone interested in the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, or world literature as a whole.
