New week, and we’ve just finished episode 13 (of 15) on the Purgatory Podcast! It’s a beautiful morning up here in the mountains, and a much better and calmer week this week. New things are getting sorted into place, and we can get back to enjoying life, hobbies, coffee, walks and nice chats with the skypework 😊
Have a great Morning!
The changes in Terrace Five in the Purgatory still linger as the trembling mountain, which is not an earthquake, shakes the whole story from its first foundations – and into a new exploratory adventure. And we suddenly have a new guide with the Pilgrim, Statius, and we are very close to the Earthly Paradise, and the Paradiso itself.
Happy Sunday morning! 🌇☀️😊
Hope you’re having a great morning – it’s been a good podcasting week here with testing more podcasts directly from a website, and making a couple of more episodes on the Purgatory!
Terrace Five was a big episode, and now we’ve just read up on Terrace Six, which seems light – but has some deep symbolism as we’ve reached the step after the big “release” and trembling of the Mountain.
Just three more episodes with this Purgatory series, and we’ve been through the book three times! :))
Good evening!
We’ve had some brief testing here today with a new test blog, and setting up a rss feed for podcasting platforms here: https://awpodcast.website/renaissance
And it went very smoothly so far; meaning that we can post new episodes directly on a blog/website and it will automatically be listed on apple podcasts, spotify and the others..
The idea for this next podcast, after the Purgatory series is completed, is to explore a description of the Renaissance through the eyes and the cosmology of Dante and the Late Medieval Times. The Renaissance as something 50-150 years in front of you, starting to see the little signs….
Good coffee, and a new day! 🌇😊☕️
The first Purgatory episode is flying off in the main AW Podcast, and we’ve made the First Terrace episode too last night. So now it’s a calm day, maybe we’ll do the second Terrace or maybe read some pages in Combray instead..
Getting more into the world of books and literature again!
A very productive day today – with a new episode on the Purgatory, and reading up on chap 10-12 for the next episode with the First Terrace!
We’re also uploading the Purgatory episodes on the main Ancient World Podcast!
Good afternoon!
We’ve just added two more episodes to the Book Podcast, scheduled for February, and will now get back to Chapter 9 in the Purgatory again!
🤠
Good morning! 🌇☀️☕️
The production week is already over after a couple of super productive days! 😊
So now it’s more back to the Ancient World, and partly also the Book Podcast with Proust for a little while. So we’re slowly adjusting back to the main projects!
Good morning! 😊
We’re moving into the “production week” for the language podcast from tomorrow, so there’ll be a bit less updates on the Ancient World in the coming days. And then we’ll be back from the Gate of Purgatory and onwards!
We’ve also made seven episodes on the Proust podcast now, aiming for about thirty episodes on “Combray” – the first part after the opening “Overture”. And yesterday it all connected to Dante’s times with long descriptions of Giotto and his frescos of Virtues and Vices in Cappella degli Scrovegni in Padua. And with this, Proust opened the themes of symbolic deep and allegory which resembled the moves that Dante is doing gradually in the Comedy as well.
Have a great Sunday, and coffee!!

😊
We’ve already covered the first seven chapters now, doing 5-7 at once in the fifth episode, as it’s a bit slow reading with lots of local contemporary history for Dante.
And now we’re already coming to chapter 8 in the next episode – which is deeply symbolic and warming up to the Gate in chapter 9. It’s interesting how one sees different things in the Comedy depending on the speed and abstraction level one is aiming for. The Ante-Purgatory as a whole is very different from reading chapters 4-8 individually f.ex., and different things stand out. New discoveries this time was the expanding role of Sordello as a Roman Poet with the added dimension of having Faith, as a contrast or addition to the symbolism of Virgil. Little by little, element by element, Dante the Writer is changing the moods and the wider context of the story – preparing us for the final part of the trilogy, in the Paradise.
This morning we have two new Epiosdes, one on the Purgatory Series, and one on the AW Morning Show 😊

Good morning! ☀️🌇☕️
It’s been a great week here with setting up the new podcast page on the Dante ‘s Comedy website, and eventually it all fell sort of neatly into place: dantescomedy.com/podcast!
We’ve also started a new Purgatory series right after we concluded our second reading with making videos and essays. Now, the third time, even more things are becoming more clear and one can notice even more little touches and subtle beautiful moments in the writing.
We’ve also set up a new donation and supporter page here: ko-fi.com/dantescomedy or directly on paypal/bank here.
So with a new year and after two years of podcasting and studies, we’ll have a new focus on building up the website with the blessing (not endorsement) from the Michelangelo Istituto in Florence. As it grows we might set up more features like forums and memberships directly on the website.
Finally – a little inspirational Quote from Aristotle:
“In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous”.
