Selects: Why is Venice so wet?

In this Saturday morning episode, Josh and Chuck explore why Venice is literally sinking and drowning under rising sea levels and increasingly frequent floods. They dive into the unique engineering challenges of this 124-island city built on water, from its ingenious brick construction methods to its major problems like saltwater erosion and sewage flowing directly into the canals where tourists swim. The hosts discuss the ambitious MOSE project, an enormous system of inflatable gates designed to hold back the Adriatic Sea during high tides, complete with plenty of Italian pronunciation attempts that'll make you smile.
