About La Biennale on Air

La Biennale on Air is the brand-new official Podcast of La Biennale di Venezia – your backstage pass to a cultural institution with over 130 years of history. In under 30 minutes, each episode takes you behind the scenes of La Biennale’s seven Artistic Departments – Art, Architecture, Cinema, Dance, Music, Theatre, and the Historical Archive – through conversations with artists, curators, thinkers, performers, and cultural trailblazers. Blending rare archival treasures with highlights from today’s Festivals and Exhibitions, the Podcast uncovers hidden stories, new ideas, and different perspectives. Rooted in Venice but open to the world, La Biennale on Air offers a monthly journey into untold stories, ongoing projects, and the voices shaping culture – across time, disciplines, and borders.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
