700 Years Since Dante's Passing ... into Where?

700 years of Dante and
 The Divine Comedy

The Divine Comedy by
Dante Alighieri Podcast

I'm yet to read or listen (I'll probably just listen) to 'The Divine Comedy' even though it has been on my mind since writing this 2016 post when I visited New Italy in New South Wales, Australia, a place I haven't been able to visit lately because of state border lock-downs -

Dante's Inferno: Why The Divine Comedy
 still captivates readers

When I was searching for podcasts about The Divine Comedy I stumbled across a Russell Brand podcast episode featuring Judd Apatow titled 'Divine Comedy' in which Judd mentions the movie 'The King of Staten Island' and the subject of firemen and 9/11.

I hadn't seen that movie, but noticed it was on the BINGE streaming service, which I had recently cancelled my subscription to, but I had until September 13th until I couldn't watch anymore content unless I renewed my subscription, so I watched the movie last night.

I'm kind of glad that I didn't pay to see that movie at the cinema, but it was OK ... just.

But I couldn't help thinking how synchy it was that the 20th anniversary of 9/11 was just a few days apart from the 700th anniversary of Dante's passing.

Can We Really Know Anything in
History or is It All Fake News?

There are quite a few good podcasts about Dante out there in podcast land by the looks, too.
