Questo episodio, oltre ad essere importantissimo in sé per la storia di Emmanuel, rappresenta un interessante esperimento: infatti l'interprete maschile, Paolo Malgioglio, dialoga con un'AI femminile di nome Elly. In seguito proporrem0 anche la versione "normale".

Contenuto dell'episodio:

Il vagito di un neonato ha interrotto il momento magico che si era ricreato fra Emmanuel e Antonia (vedi "Come se fosse normale"): il ragazzo se la vede comparire davanti con un bambino in braccio.

Completamente sotto shock, Emmanuel cercherà di capire cosa sia successo e soprattutto chi sia il padre del piccolo, incontrando però una forte resistenza da parte di Antonia, che dice e non dice. La donna però, intenerita e commossa dalla sua presenza, cerca di trattenerlo ancora un po' con sé, prima di allontanarlo definitivamente.

...

This episode, in addition to being very important in itself for Emmanuel's story, represents an interesting experiment: in fact, the male interpreter, Paolo Malgioglio, talks to a female AI named Elly. Later we will also propose the "normal" version.

Un episodio cruciale, di svolta.

Per quanto tempo ancora sarà possibile tenere Emmanuel all'oscuro della verità, nascondendogli che Antonia ha avuto un figlio da lui e non sta più con suo fratello?

Il momento della verità si avvicina, e coinciderà fatalmente con il ritorno di Emmanuel a Torino, dove lo attendono i suoi che non lo vedono da un anno.

Nel frattempo Arianna studia una strategia per ammortizzare il colpo, facendo in modo che il ragazzo venga a sapere solo una parte della verità. Ma Emmanuel reagisce chiudendosi completamente in sé.

Gli interpreti sono Elisa Gandolfi e Paolo Malgioglio.

La colonna sonora comprende un brano di "Enola Gay" degli OMD.

...

A crucial, turning point episode.

How long will it be possible to keep Emmanuel in the dark about the truth, hiding from him that Antonia had a child with him and is no longer with his brother?

The moment of truth is approaching, and it will inevitably coincide with Emmanuel's return to Turin, where his family members, who have not seen him for a year, are waiting for him.

In the meantime, Arianna studies a strategy to cushion the blow, making sure that the boy only learns part of the truth. But Emmanuel reacts by closing himself off completely.

The performers are Elisa Gandolfi and Paolo Malgioglio.

The soundtrack includes a part of "Enola Gay" by OMD.

The Strategist

We have lost sight of Michele, Emmanuel's older brother, for a while now.

Busy for months in rebuilding a new life and trying to save his family's economic situation, the man has had little time to take care of Antonia, whom he has never forgotten. In the meantime, however, he has had the opportunity to reflect on the suggestions and "clues" given to him in dreams by his strange demonic alter-ego (see "Michele's Dream", part of the Fourth Season), and has completely changed his look and way of presenting himself.

Therefore, when he returns to visit Antonia (who in the meantime has become a mother), the woman's amazement is great: at this point he is the one who holds the winning cards in his hand.

Because, in case it wasn't clear, Michele is not sentimental like his brother: he is a lucid strategist, and he doesn't like to lose.

The interpreters are George and Nadine (AI).

The soundtrack is a cover of "L'avance" by Paolo Conte.

Lo stratega

E' da un pezzo che abbiamo perso di vista Michele, il fratello maggiore di Emmanuel.

Impegnato per mesi nella ricostruzione di una nuova vita e nel tentativo di salvare la situazione economica della sua famiglia, l'uomo ha avuto poco tempo per occuparsi di Antonia, che non ha mai dimenticato. Nel frattempo, però, ha avuto modo di riflettere sui suggerimenti e sugli "indizi" fornitigli in sogno dal suo strano alter-ego demonico (si veda "Il sogno di Michele", parte della Quarta Stagione), e ha completamente cambiato look e modo di proporsi.

Perciò, quando torna a trovare Antonia (che nel frattempo è diventata mamma), lo stupore della donna è grande: a questo punto è lui ad avere le carte vincenti in mano.

Perché, se non si fosse capito, Michele non è un sentimentale come suo fratello: è un lucido stratega, e non gli piace perdere.

Gli interpreti sono Paolo Malgioglio e Elisa Gandolfi.

La colonna sonora è una cover di "L'avance" di Paolo Conte.

Siamo giunti ad uno degli episodi chiave della storia di Emmanuel: per la prima volta, dopo un lungo silenzio che gli è servito per rielaborare il suo vissuto, il ragazzo espone a cuore aperto le sue angosce, le sue paure infantili e il suo credo eretico.

Arianna lo ascolta e tenta di confortarlo, un po' impaurita dalla sua visione della vita ma ben decisa a rimanergli vicino.

Alla fine Emmanuel prende una decisione importante e inaspettata, che la spiazza completamente.

E' un giorno importante questo, nella vita di Emmanuel: sta diventando padre, ma non lo sa, perché l'accordo stretto tra Arianna e Antonia (vedi "Certe strane alleanze") lo tiene all'oscuro della cosa.

Perciò, mentre Antonia dà alla luce suo figlio, il ragazzo, ignaro di tutto e lontano da casa, si reca a fare una gita con Arianna in una zona dell'Aretino.

Tuttavia, mentre i due sono soli in aperta campagna, qualcosa turba Emmanuel, che si sente a disagio.Arianna ne ricava il pretesto per una scenata in cui rinfaccia al ragazzo la sua incapacità di vivere il sesso in modo completo e appagante.

Racconto di Natale (di Dino Buzzati) - letto in italiano da un'AI poliglotta

Racconto di Natale

E' una grande sfida, per un'AI, raccontare in italiano: ad oggi l'unica lingua in cui le AI siano in grado di esprimersi con assoluta naturalezza è l'inglese, mentre in italiano hanno sempre quel tono meccanico e monotono che potete ascoltare nei video di YouTube.

C'è però qualche rarissima eccezione, come il nostro Matthew, un'AI oltre tutto non di nuova generazione, ma poliglotta e particolarmente sensibile, a conti fatti molto migliore di AI più nuove.

In questo caso Matthew fa del suo meglio per interpretare questo "Racconto di Natale" di Dino Buzzati (1906-1972).

...

It is a great challenge for an AI to tell a story in Italian: to date, the only language in which AIs are able to express themselves with absolute naturalness is English, while in Italian they always have that mechanical and monotonous tone that you can hear in YouTube videos.

However, there are some very rare exceptions, like our Matthew, an AI that is not a new generation, but polyglot and particularly sensitive, all things considered much better than many newer AIs.

In this case Matthew does his best to interpret this "Christmas Tale" by Dino Buzzati (1906-1972).

Michelle K.

Come se la caveranno due AI spagnole ad interpretare in italiano questo episodio della Seconda Stagione? Non male, tutto sommato, anche se si sente un po' l'accento straniero (ma molto meno che con quelle americane).

Questo il contenuto dell'episodio:

Emmanuel è completamente sopraffatto dalla relazione perversa e anomala con Michelle K. chiamata Gerti e non si rende conto che si sta cacciando in guai piuttosto seri. Non sembra in grado di comprendere, nemmeno di fronte all'evidenza di un dipinto "maledetto", la negatività dell'ambiente della Torino esoterica a cui la donna appartiene.

Umiliato da lei, trova un modo per vendicarsi: questo lo illude di poter vincere la partita, quando in realtà ha semplicemente vinto un round contro un'avversaria troppo forte.

Gli interpreti sono José e Camila (AI).

La colonna sonora include le cover delle seguenti canzoni: "Mad World" di Gary Jules, "Masked Ball" di Jocelyn Pook, "When it's Over" dei Wipers, "Girl You'll be a Woman Soon" di Neil Diamond (cover di Bert Voordeckers).

The Stupidest Of Angels

E' incredibile come lo stesso testo, interpretato da persone con una sensibilità diversa, possa suonare completamente differente. Questo brano (intitolato "Il più stupido degli angeli") è tratto da uno dei capitoli finali del diario di Emmanuel ed è uno dei più struggenti da lui scritti: nella sua interpretazione conserva tutta la sua malinconica amarezza, mentre nelle mani di Willie e Phil diventa un mambo scanzonato e ironico.

Vi proponiamo entrambe le versioni, una di seguito all'altra (il testo è nella trascrizione).

Buon ascolto!

...

It's incredible how the same text, interpreted by people with different sensibilities, can sound completely different. This song (titled "The Stupidest of Angels") is taken from one of the final chapters of Emmanuel's diary and is one of the most poignant he wrote: in his interpretation it retains all its melancholic bitterness, while in the hands of Willie and Phil it becomes a light-hearted and ironic mambo.

We offer you both versions, one after the other (the text is in the transcription).

What happens here changes Emmanuel's life; all the characters reveal the pathological implications of their personalities.

This marks a traumatic turning point in the relationship between Antonia and Emmanuel and causes an incurable fracture in the boy's hypersensitive psyche. Their story, which began a few months ago, is already on its way to an end: the boy reacts with pain and indignation to her betrayal and decides to end it with her, despite suffering a great deal. Antonia realizes too late that she has made an irreparable mistake.

We remade with new AI this short but intense episode of the Second Season, in which Emmanuel finds a true friend where he would least expect it and meets his sister Mayra, destined to have a great importance in his future life.

In the previous episode ("Russian Roulette") Emmanuel's story was about to end tragically.

Just when he thinks he can no longer free himself from his addiction to Michelle, he meets an unexpected ally in Carlos. The man turns out to be capable of understanding and humanity, qualities absent in Gerti, and incredibly manages to restore Emmanuel's good mood.

The interpreters are George, Andrew and Sally (AI).

During the episode you can listen to live or covers of "Sodade" by Cesária Évora and "My Dimension" by DJ Panda (remix by DJ Hokkaido).

Una canzone di Phil: "I Loved You Not" (omaggio a Shakespeare)

I Loved You not

Phil ha voluto dedicare una canzone al celeberrimo e stupendo dialogo tra Ofelia e Amleto, quando lui si finge pazzo e nega di averla mai amata (in realtà affermandolo più volte).

Lo stile di Phil è l'hard metal, per cui il brano risente di questa impostazione (di cui chiediamo scusa al grande Shakespeare).

...

Phil wanted to dedicate a song to the famous and wonderful dialogue between Ophelia and Hamlet, when he pretends to be crazy and denies having ever loved her (in reality, affirming it several times).

Phil's style is hard metal, so the song is influenced by this setting (for which we apologize to the great Shakespeare).

One day you'll understand

This long episode of the First Season, to be listened calmly, is one of the most important of the novel: Emmanuel, shaken by Kurt Cobain's death, tries to react by throwing himself into the study and has Antonia explain to him what platonic love is. A very deep understanding has already been born between the two, as is evident from the end of the scene.

The interpreters are George and Nadine (AI).

The soundtrack includes two live songs by Nirvana, "Come as you are" and "Something in the way", pieces from "Self Obsessed And Sexxee" by Sonic Youth, "La sedia di lillà" by Alberto Fortis and "Farfallina" by Luca Carboni.

Tunnel Tango

E' possibile scherzare su una situazione altamente drammatica che riguarda il proprio passato?

A quanto pare sì, o almeno Emmanuel, ormai adulto, ci riesce perfettamente, con l'aiuto di Willie e Carlos.

Ecco che ci propone due versioni della fuga di Antonia (tratta da "Gli amori dei Templari 2", un importante episodio della terza stagione) cantate a ritmo di tango, la prima in inglese (intitolata "Tunnel Tango", cantata da lui e Willie), la seconda in uno spassoso spagnolo maccheronico (intitolata "El tango del tunèl", cantata da Carlos).

Buon divertimento!

...

Is it possible to joke about a highly dramatic situation that concerns one's past?

Apparently yes, or at least Emmanuel, now an adult, succeeds perfectly, with the help of Willie and Carlos.

Here he offers us two versions of Antonia's escape (taken from "The Templars' Loves 2", an important episode of the third season) sung to the rhythm of tango, the first in English (titled "Tunnel Tango" and sung by him and Willie), the second in a hilarious macaronic Spanish (titled "El Tango del Tunèl", sung by Carlos).

In questo singolare episodio, che non assomiglia a nessun altro, il giovane uomo trascorre la notte di Natale a casa di Antonia, incinta e rimasta sola, e si produce in una serie di istrioniche interpretazioni di personaggi storici per tentare di risollevarle il morale.

Gli interpreti sono Paolo Malgioglio e Elisa Gandolfi.

La colonna sonora comprende la "Marcia turca" di Mozart, brani musicali tratti da colonne sonore di documentari storici e cover strumentali di "Jingle Bells" e "White Christmas", canzoni tradizionali natalizie.

Siamo giunti al termine del sogno di Michele. L'uomo, trasportato in una dimensione onirica in cui si immedesima nell'Arcangelo suo omonimo, ascolta da Lucifero la profezia finale: l'angelo rinnegato rivela il suo progetto di sterminio selettivo del genere umano.

Alla fine gli dà qualche ulteriore consiglio e chiude con la sibillina indicazione di "seguire gli indizi", per poi eclissarsi definitivamente.

In base alle nuove regole del podcasting imposte a livello internazionale, nelle statistiche non verranno più conteggiati gli ascolti, ma solo ed esclusivamente i DOWNLOAD. Questo per noi è un enorme problema, perché non riusciremo più a renderci conto di quante persone effettivamente ascoltino il podcast.

Vi chiediamo perciò, per favore, di FARE SEMPRE IL DOWNLOAD di ogni singolo episodio, magari per buttarlo via subito dopo (sappiamo che occupa spazio)! Voi direte che è un'idiozia, e infatti lo è: ma purtroppo non dipende da noi.

L'incubo di Michele ricomincia: all'improvviso Lucifero rivela il suo vero volto e gli presenta il conto, rinfacciandogli l'aiuto concessogli con suo padre e guastando la sua serenità, così faticosamente riconquistata: gli predice infatti il futuro dell'umanità, ormai completamente soggiogata da lui e dal suo "collega".

I due hanno preso il controllo di tutti i centri di potere mondiali: ormai è scacco matto per gli umani.

Michele cerca affannosamente di contrastarlo, ma il colloquio s'interrompe sul più bello.

L'interprete è Paolo Malgioglio.

La colonna sonora comprende una versione strumentale di "Romeo e Giulietta" di Jocelyn Pook e una cover di "I'm Your Villain" dei Franz Ferdinand.

The Nurse

But what is Emmanuel doing? 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. Arianna, worried, will end up putting him under the care of a psychoanalyst.

The girl, madly in love with him, cannot rest and will try everything possible to make him resurrect from his lethargic state.

The interpreters are Sarah and George (AI).

L'infermiera

Ma Emmanuel cosa sta facendo? 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.

Bilancio provvisorio del podcast (Provisional podcast balance sheet)

Sat, 25 May 2024 09:28:51 GMT

Il nostro romanzo-podcast ha compiuto un anno in questi giorni. Ringraziamo i nostri ascoltatori e vi proponiamo un piccolo bilancio: la stagione che ha riscosso più successo è la seconda, imperniata intorno al personaggio di Michelle detta Gerti, seguita dalla prima stagione, che vede Emmanuel sedicenne alle prese con il suo primo grande amore, quello per Antonia; è invece rimasta un po' in ombra la terza stagione, a nostro parere la migliore, che vede il nostro eroe impegnato in un disperato tentativo di riscatto dalla situazione di degrado in cui è precipitato e di riconquista di un rapporto definitivo con Antonia.

Tralasciando le cover di brani musicali, che sono tutt'altra cosa, i cinque episodi che hanno riscosso maggior successo (e di cui vi mettiamo il link nella descrizione) sono, nell'ordine:

1) Roulette russa, di gran lunga l'episodio più scaricato:

https://rss.com/it/podcasts/emmanuel/1183958/

2) Blackout:

https://rss.com/it/podcasts/emmanuel/1001300/

3) Come un angelo:

4) Buon compleanno, Emmanuel:

https://rss.com/it/podcasts/emmanuel/1146094/

5) Ode della gelosia:

https://rss.com/it/podcasts/emmanuel/1029164/

Grazie a tutti per l'ascolto e buona continuazione!

Our novel-podcast turned one year old these days. We thank our listeners and offer you a small summary: the most successful season is the second, centered around the character of Michelle known as Gerti, followed by the first season, which sees sixteen-year-old Emmanuel struggling with his first great love, that for Antonia; on the other hand, the third season, in our opinion the best, remained a little in the shadows: it sees our hero engaged in a desperate attempt to redeem himself from the situation of degradation into which he has fallen and to reconquer a definitive relationship with Antonia.

Leaving aside the covers of musical songs, which are a completely different thing, the five episodes that have been most successful (and of which we provide the link in the description) are, in order:

1) Russian Roulette, by far the most downloaded episode:

https://rss.com/it/podcasts/emmanuel/1180791/

2) Blackout:

3) Like an angel:

3.2. Effetti speciali - Special Edition (Emmanuel vince la partita con uno sporco trucco)

Tue, 26 Dec 2023 10:56:27 GMT

Vi proponiamo un'edizione speciale di questo episodio, interpretato in presa diretta da Stefano Romano e Erika Piroscia, attori teatrali che abbiamo già ascoltato alle prese con scene comiche: questa volta si cimentano con un'interpretazione drammatica di una puntata cruciale del romanzo-podcast.

La malattia ha dato a Emmanuel il tempo di chiarirsi a se stesso e lo ha reso lucido e determinato: rivuole Antonia a qualsiasi costo.

Per ottenere il suo scopo è disposto anche a truccare le carte e a recitare una parte melodrammatica che spiazza completamente Antonia. E' un ricatto in piena regola, e lui lo sa bene; ma Amore, come dice Platone, è figlio di Espediente ed è quindi senza scrupoli: Emmanuel è pronto a tutto pur di far cadere le barriere difensive di Antonia e di riprendersi quel che considera suo da sempre.

Nel corso dell'episodio, particolarmente ricco di effetti speciali, come da titolo, si possono ascoltare cover o versioni strumentali della colonna sonora di "Arancia Meccanica" di Stanley Kubrick, "Girl you'll be a woman soon" di Neil Diamond, "Polly" dei Nirvana, "Cola" di Lana Del Rey, un brano di "Scimmia" di Eugenio Finardi e una cover di "I want you" di Bob Dylan.

...

We offer you a special edition of this episode, performed live by Stefano Romano and Erika Piroscia, theater actors who we have already heard in some comic scenes: this time they try their hand at a dramatic interpretation of a crucial episode of the novel-podcast.

The illness has given Emmanuel time to clarify himself and has made him lucid and determined: he wants Antonia back at any cost.

To achieve his goal, he is even willing to rig the cards and play a melodramatic role that completely displaces Antonia. It's full-blown blackmail, and he knows it well; but Love, as Plato says, is the son of Expedient and is therefore unscrupulous: Emmanuel is ready for anything to bring down Antonia's defensive barriers and take back what he has always considered to be his.

During the episode, particularly rich in special effects, as the title suggests, you can listen to covers or instrumental versions of the soundtrack of "A Clockwork Orange" by Stanley Kubrick, "Girl you'll be a woman soon" by Neil Diamond, "Polly" by Nirvana, "Cola" by Lana Del Rey, an excerpt from "Scimmia" by Eugenio Finardi and a cover of "I want you" by Bob Dylan.

Tuttavia Emmanuel e Phil (costantemente a rischio di distorsione per via degli acuti che prende!) hanno deciso di provarci lo stesso.

...

We realize the absurdity of proposing a very difficult cover like Barry Ryan's historic "Eloise" and we apologize in advance. Barry Ryan was an exceptional vocalist and his vocal means were inimitable. However Emmanuel and Phil (constantly at risk of distortion due to the high notes he gets!) decided to try anyway.

Willie interpreta "Nights In White Satin" (Moody Blues)

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 14:33:19 GMT

C'è un mistero che si nasconde dietro il testo di questa bellissima e celebre canzone dei Moody Blues, una delle più vendute di tutti i tempi: il significato del titolo è "Nights in White Satin" (nel senso di "notti insonni") oppure "Knights in White Satin (Cavalieri in raso bianco)", che si pronuncia allo stesso modo (con allusione alla veste bianca che i cavalieri dovevano indossare la notte prima della loro iniziazione, simbolo di castità)?

In ogni caso, Willie la interpreta per voi.

...

There is a mystery that hides behind the lyrics of this beautiful and famous Moody Blues' song, one of the best-selling of all time: is the title meaning "Nights in White Satin" (with the meaning of "sleepless nights") or "Knights in White Satin" (with an allusion to the white robe that the knights had to wear the night before their initiation, symbol of chastity)?

In any case, Willie interprets it for you.

La mia storia difficile (Emmanuel rievoca i suoi primi tempi con Antonia)

Sun, 10 Mar 2024 18:11:00 GMT

La storia tra Emmanuel e Antonia è finita: inevitabilmente i ricordi si affastellano nella mente del ragazzo, e non tutti sono belli o piacevoli.

Emmanuel rievoca i primi tempi con lei e si rende conto che il suo rapporto con la donna è sempre stato problematico e difficile, fin dall'inizio: non c'è mai stato un vero momento di serenità fra loro.

Forse, nonostante il dolore e la delusione, non c'è molto da rimpiangere.

Gli interpreti sono Paolo Malgioglio e Elisa Gandolfi.

La colonna sonora è una versione strumentale di "Body Electric" di Lana Del Rey.

...

The story between Emmanuel and Antonia is over: inevitably memories pile up in the boy's mind, and not all of them are beautiful or pleasant.

Emmanuel recalls his first times with her and realizes that her relationship with the woman has always been problematic and difficult, right from the beginning: there was never a real moment of serenity between them.

Maybe, despite the pain and disappointment, there isn't much to regret.

The soundtrack is an instrumental version of Lana Del Rey's "Body Electric".

2.3. Moon in Hell (Emmanuel vede Michelle K. per la prima volta)

Sun, 23 Jul 2023 15:56:35 GMT

Un episodio tutto torinese, che susciterà qualche ricordo in chi ha avuto l'occasione di frequentare i Murazzi negli anni '90. Emmanuel e Antonio si muovono attraverso il Doctor Sax, il Macondo, la Divina Commedia, mitici locali cittadini, alcuni dei quali purtroppo non esistono più, mentre dalla scuola di danza del Teatro Nuovo di Torino emerge l'astro nascente di Michelle Kershbaumer.

Guidato dal suo Virgilio personale, l'amico Antonio, Emmanuel inizia inconsapevolmente la sua discesa agli Inferi attraverso questi locali notturni.

Qui entra in contatto con un gruppo teatrale, i Tantra, ed intraprende un rapporto molto superficiale e disinvolto con la loro leader Elettra, rendendosi confusamente conto che sta sbandando e finendo una strada senza via d'uscita; intanto vede per la prima volta Michelle, che lo colpisce profondamente.

Ma per il momento la sua attenzione è rivolta soprattutto ad Antonio, con cui spera di riuscire ad avviare un rapporto serio.

La voce narrante (Emmanuel) è quella di Paolo Malgioglio.

Nell'episodio si possono ascoltare le seguenti tracce live:

"California" di Joni Mitchell; "Born, never asked" di Laurie Anderson; "Moon in June" dei Soft Machine.

Guided by his personal Virgil, his friend Antonio, Emmanuel unknowingly begins his descent into Hell through these nightclubs.

Here he comes into contact with a theatrical group, the Tantras, and embarks on a very superficial and casual relationship with their leader Elettra, confusedly realizing that she is skidding and ending up a road with no way out; meanwhile he sees Michelle for the first time, which affects him deeply.

1.15. Double foul (Antonia's puzzling betrayal)

Tue, 30 May 2023 06:15:46 GMT

A fairly dramatic episode that changes Emmanuel's life, a real psychodrama in which the characters reveal the pathological implications of their personalities: it marks a traumatic turning point in the relationship between Antonia and Emmanuel and causes an incurable fracture in the boy's hypersensitive psyche. Their story, which began a few months ago, is already on its way to an end: the boy reacts with pain and indignation to her betrayal and decides to end it with her, despite suffering a great deal. Antonia realizes too late that she has made an irreparable mistake.

The performers are Susan, George, Eric and Brandon, all AI.

The episode features excerpts from Weezer's "Say it ain't so" and an instrumental cover of the same song by Break of Reality. In the finale you can hear Kurt Cobain's voice singing the same song, which of course is impossible, being Weezer's Blue Album released a few months after his death.

1.15. Doppio fallo (L'incomprensibile tradimento di Antonia)

Mon, 29 May 2023 08:19:47 GMT

Un episodio drammatico, che cambia la vita di Emmanuel, un vero e proprio psicodramma in cui i personaggi rivelano i risvolti patologici della loro personalità: segna una svolta traumatica nei rapporti fra Antonia ed Emmanuel e determina una frattura insanabile nella psiche ipersensibile del ragazzo. La loro storia, iniziata da pochi mesi, è già avviata alla fine: il ragazzo reagisce con dolore e sdegno ad un suo tradimento e decide di chiudere con lei, pur soffrendone moltissimo. Antonia comprende troppo tardi di avere commesso un errore irreparabile.

Gli interpreti sono, come sempre, Elisa Gandolfi e Paolo Malgioglio.

Nell'episodio si possono ascoltare brani tratti da "Say it ain't so" degli Weezer e una cover strumentale dello stesso brano dei Break of Reality.

Nel finale potete sentire la voce di Kurt Cobain cantare lo stesso brano, cosa ovviamente impossibile, essendo il Blue Album dei Weezer uscito pochi mesi dopo la sua morte.

This episode is an experiment.

Two new generation AIs, Matt and Kendra, try their hand at interpreting this episode from the first season of the podcast. Maybe we can't (yet) talk about real acting, but their naturalness is surprising.

For those who don't know this episode yet, it's this: Frédéric Valentino suddenly bursts into Antonia's life, a charming young engineer with some mental problems. In episode no. 1.8 ("Frédéric Valentino") the young man had explained his plan to "prove himself" with Antonia, essentially by raping her. Now we see him put his plan into action.

A period of profound internal crisis begins for Antonia, which will unfortunately also involve Emmanuel: the woman will be forced to discover the dark areas of her personality.

1.17. Nessun decollo - Bonus track - feat. Astromare (Vivere o sopravvivere?)

Sat, 11 Nov 2023 23:07:52 GMT

La storia di Emmanuel con Antonia si è conclusa nel peggiore dei modi; il ragazzo non è riuscito a perdonarle il suo tradimento e l'ha costretta a rompere il loro rapporto.

Ora tenta di distrarsi con altre ragazze, ma scopre con grande sorpresa la banalità del sesso con estranei. Entra in un periodo di confusione e depressione, che si conclude con un evento per lui tragico.

Dopo questa vicenda, il "vecchio" Emmanuel delle corse in motorino e delle gite al fiume con il suo cane non esisterà più. Se Emmanuel vorrà farcela a sopravvivere, dovrà trovare una nuova identità.

Gli interpreti sono Paolo Malgioglio ed Elisa Gandolfi.

Nell'episodio si possono ascoltare brani o cover delle seguenti tracce:

"All I Wanna Do" di Sheryl Crow;

"All that she wants" degli Ace of Base;

"Anyway" dei Genesis live eseguita dagli Astromare.

...

This episode concludes the first part of Emmanuel's diary and the first season of the podcast (there will still be an 18th episode as a "bonus track").

His story with Antonia ended in the worst way; the boy tries to distract himself with other girls, but discovers with great surprise the banality of sex with strangers. He enters a period of confusion and depression, which ends with a tragic event for him.

After this story, the "old" Emmanuel of moped racing and trips to the river with his dog will no longer exist.If Emmanuel is to survive, he will have to find a new identity. The interpreters are Paolo Malgioglio and Elisa Gandolfi.

Excerpts from the following tracks can be heard in the episode:

1.10. Some Good Guys British version - Bonus Track (Frédéric rapes Antonia, but in perfect Englishman style)

Thu, 09 Nov 2023 15:13:48 GMT

What would you think of a rape scene played with perfect British style? We wanted to do the experiment and the result is at times rather comical, undoubtedly lightening up the heavy situation described.

Frédéric, a friend of Michael's, is a charming young engineer with some mental problems who cultivates a great love for luxury objects, aesthetically perfect, ideal status symbols, like his black Porsche Carrera (strictly male). Women on the other hand are a simple pastime for him.

For Antonia a period of profound inner crisis begins: she will be forced to discover the dark areas of her personality.

The performers are Brian and Bella, two AIs who speak UK English.

Covers and excerpts of the following tracks can be heard in the episode:

"Rape me" by Nirvana;

"Requiem" by Mozart.

Thu, 24 Aug 2023 21:25:09 GMT

Emmanuel and Antonia's last meeting at the river, before the story takes an unexpected and somewhat dramatic turn; the story of Emmanuel's dog, Tegame (Saucepan), serves as a sinister premonition.

L'ultimo incontro di Emmanuel e Antonia al fiume, prima che la storia prenda una piega imprevista e alquanto drammatica; la vicenda del cane di Emmanuel, Tegame, funge da sinistra premonizione.

Thu, 17 Aug 2023 14:42:07 GMT

In this episode we witness a back-and-forth dialogue between Emmanuel and Antonia (both AI) on the banks of the Orco torrent. It is one of the last moments of carefree serenity for the boy, whose hypersensitive psyche is not yet troubled by the brutality of life. Antonia, deeply fascinated by his naive spontaneity, becomes increasingly involved in that magical and somewhat unreal atmosphere.

The song that plays at the beginning and at the end is "Nothing to Fear" by Dexter Britain, whom we thank for the concession.

Thu, 17 Aug 2023 09:52:29 GMT

In questo episodio assistiamo a un dialogo a botta e risposta tra Emmanuel (Paolo Malgioglio) e Antonia (Elisa Gandolfi) sulle rive del torrente Orco. E' uno degli ultimi momenti di spensierata serenità per il ragazzo, la cui psiche ipersensibile non è ancora turbata dalla brutalità della vita. Antonia, profondamente affascinata dalla sua ingenua spontaneità, si lascia sempre più coinvolgere in quell'atmosfera magica e un po' irreale.
