WARNING: The absurd new rules imposed by the Rss.com platform require us to use their AI-generated transcripts, which are riddled with terrible ERRORS: this means we have to stop providing transcripts for the Italian episodes. We will, however, make them available to listeners/readers via a link in the description of each episode.
This podcast proposes in episodes a novel set in the 90s, taken from the diary of a teenager called Emmanuel.
The novel tells the difficult phases of his growth, marked by his frantic search for the "sense" of Beauty, of which he himself was the bearer and which ends up being his condemnation.
The Italian version is interpreted by two good actors-voice actors, Paolo Malgioglio and Elisa Gandolfi; the English version is entirely performed by AI. Even the ideal continuation of the novel, which continues beyond 1997, is performed by AI, both in the Italian and English versions, of which we propose here only a few episodes.
In the current web landscape, dominated by AI, it is difficult to stand out, but we are trying, starting with an anomalous and creative use of artificial intelligence.
We would have replaced the podcast episodes with editions renewed in graphics and/or soundtrack, and, as far as the English edition is concerned, made with next-generation AI.
Unfortunately, the absence of a "search box" for creators on Rss.com makes this operation impossible for us: as paradoxical as it may seem, we are unable to trace the various episodes out of a total of about 400 (including songs and covers).
We are therefore republishing the old episodes by adding them to the previous ones.
Stay tuned!
WARNING:
According to the new podcasting rules, the statistics will no longer count the listens, but only and exclusively the DOWNLOADS.
We therefore ask you, please, to ALWAYS DOWNLOAD each episode, perhaps to throw it away immediately afterwards (we know it takes up space)!
We'll alway try to provide the direct download link.
Thanks for your cooperation!

Questo podcast propone, a puntate, un romanzo ambientato negli anni '90, precisamente tra il 1994 e il 1997, tratto dal diario di un adolescente che chiameremo per convenzione Emmanuel.
Il romanzo racconta le difficili fasi della sua crescita, contrassegnate dalla sua affannosa ricerca del "senso" del Bello, di cui lui stesso era portatore e che finisce per essere la sua condanna.
La versione italiana, fino alla fine del romanzo, è interpretata da due bravi attori-doppiatori, Paolo Malgioglio e Elisa Gandolfi; quella inglese è interamente recitata da AI. Anche l'ideale continuazione del romanzo, che prosegue oltre il 1997, è recitata da AI, sia nella versione italiana sia in quella inglese, di cui proponiamo solo alcune puntate.
Purtroppo l'assenza di un "box di ricerca" ...

How is he coping with the distance from home and Antonia?The boy is 600 km away from Turin, in Val d'Orcia (Tuscany), a guest of Arianna's family, with the (forced) approval of both parents, put in the face of a fait accompli.Through the voice of Arianna, who prepares the high school exam with him, we witness his first attempts to free himself from any type of addiction: but, while with drugs things don't seem to be so difficult for him, the memory of Antonia continues to obsess the boy, who undergoes a sort of involution, becoming introverted and uncommunicative with everyone and almost anorexic.

Come sta vivendo la lontananza da casa e da Antonia?Il ragazzo si trova a 600 km di distanza da Torino, in Val d'Orcia (Toscana), ospite della famiglia di Arianna, con il beneplacito (forzato) dei genitori di entrambi, messi in pratica di fronte al fatto compiuto.Attraverso la voce di Arianna, che prepara con lui l'esame di Maturità, assistiamo ai suoi primi tentativi di liberarsi da ogni tipo di dipendenza: ma, mentre con la droga le cose non sembrano essere così difficili per lui, il ricordo di Antonia continua ad ossessionare il ragazzo, che subisce una specie di involuzione, diventando introverso e poco comunicativo con tutti e quasi anoressico. Arianna, preoccupata, finirà per metterlo in cura da uno psicanalista.La ragazza, innamorata pazza di lui, non si dà pace e tenterà tutto il possibile per farlo risorgere dal suo stato letargico.Gli interpreti sono Elisa Gandolfi e Paolo Malgioglio.La colonna sonora comprende cover di "Happy Together" (The Turtles) e "Love me please love me" (Michel Polnareff) e un brano originale: "Nancy Comes Home" di Opal Tribe, che ringraziamo per la gentile concessione....But what is Emmanuel doing?

A cosa possa servire un "nuovo modello" di agente che si esprime così è per noi un mistero insondabile, ma d'altra parte non è l'unico caso in cui la tecnologia sembra andare in una direzione bizzarra.La colonna sonora comprende due cover strumentali di "Bartali" di Paolo Conte....The five Emmanuel twins — First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth — are given a special task by the director: they must interview a new model of AI agent called Blot.The lads will do their best to get by, but the language the agent is using is too much for them.But not for the photographer Gianni...N.B.: Agent Blot really does exist, and what you are about to hear is genuinely his voice, recorded during a conversation. Why we might need a ‘new model’ of agent who speaks like this is a complete mystery to us, but then again, this isn’t the only instance where technology seems to be heading in a rather bizarre direction.The soundtrack includes two instrumental covers of Paolo Conte’s “Bartali”.

Questa volta vogliamo offrirvi uno scoop: la registrazione di una parte di una sessione di lavoro della nostra regista con Emmanuel Primo.Potrete così sbirciare dietro le quinte e cogliere dal vivo il rapporto che c'è fra gli "agenti" Emmanuel e il nostro piccolo staff di autori e registi: un rapporto davvero speciale!La colonna sonora è una versione strumentale di "Bartali" di Paolo Conte....This time we’d like to give you an exclusive: a recording of part of a working session between our director and Emmanuel Primo.This will give you a glimpse behind the scenes and a chance to witness first-hand the relationship between the "agents" Emmanuel and our small team of writers and directors: a truly special bond!The soundtrack is an instrumental version of "Bartali" by Paolo Conte.
