European podcasts and videoblogs
In case you'd like to visit Europe, here's a videoblog you should look at before booking your trip. It's called Hombrelobo, it's mainly a video-documented diary, written by the travellers, and covers trips from all over the world. However, the most well coverd sites are the European ones and it's worth consulting due to the aproach used on it's reports and the little-known corners of the continent that reveals.
Not because of the matter it covers, as it is an online serie, this site must been seen. However, Malviviendo is a perfect example of the 2.0 revolution, completely up-dated to our times and setted up here in Spain by comunicaton students from Sevillas' University. It shows us how far you can get with not need of an economic investment.

It's impossible to talk about entertainment in a continent without mentioning the most extended sport; football. Futbol Total is a podcast which doesn't just cover the Spanish League's news, but as well the Champion's League ones,. I'd recommend it to all football freaks!
And finally, for those of us that are looking foward to studying abroad, here's Pasantías Universitarias en Europa, a podcast recopilation of tips given by older students from their own experience.

Venice Film Festival
As I'm the reponsible for the European continent, this time I'm gonna cover Venice's Film Festival.
Although many different kind of festivals take place at Italy, Venice's film festival is the oldest in the world, founded in 1932 by Giuseppe Volpi. The films are screened in the famous Palazzo del Cinema. It is one of the world's most prestigious film festivals and is part of the Venice Biennale, a major biennial exhibition and festival for contemporary art.

The festival's most important award is the Leone d'Oro, which is given to the best film of the festival, followed by the Leone d’Argento, which is given irregulary in adition to the Golden Lion, and sometimes has also been given for debut films, short films and direction. In addition, the Coppa Volpi is awarded to the best actor and actress, and finally, in 2002, the San Marco Award was introduced for the best film of the Controcorrente ("Against the stream") section.
