Whether you are travelling to your summer destination by plane, train or car, a good podcast can entertain you and make the time until you arrive at your destination fly by (as well as cheer up your pre-departure cleaning).
That's why I thought I would suggest, on behalf of Acrimonia, three excellent podcasts (plus one) in view of the coveted holiday.
I have self-imposed only two rules for myself: there is no point in recommending that you listen to Indagini because everyone knows it and everyone who cares about it already listens to it; the same goes for Pablo Trincia's podcasts, which are out of the charts because of the great publicity that accompanies all his work (but if you can, catch up with the investigation on the Parmalat crack).
Here are my choices.
Tintoria
This is a mainstream pick too, but I remember when I, my friend Giuseppe and 10 other people used to listen to him. For those who still don't know it, Tintoria is among the first comedy podcasts in Italy: longer-lived than the beloved Cachemire and what Muschio Selvaggio secretly aspires to be.
Tintoria is a product that “does not actively try to make you laugh, but if we manage to do so in the course of the conversation, so much the better”, as stand-up comedians Daniele Tinti and Stefano Rapone, the creators and voices of the format, often state. The episodes always feature an interview with an interesting guest, last between an hour and a half and two hours, and have funny fixed columns (no spoilers; who knows, knows). It started in a dining room and is now produced by One Podcast for The Comedy Club.
Where to start listening to it since there are more than 200 episodes? The first answer can only be one and only one and that is the episode with guest Pietro Sermonti (Stanis from Boris).
La confessione
Finally a crime podcast? Not really or not only. La confessione is an independent and original investigation in seven episodes by Stefano Feltri, Federica Tourn and Giorgio Meletti. At the centre of it all is the case of a priest accused of abusing a boy in Sicily.
The podcast does not, however, limit itself to recounting the single news case, however serious, but brings to light the systematic cover-ups and negligence of the highest ecclesiastical authorities. It does so through the living voice of the protagonists and the contribution of experts.
As it happens with some books, when I started it, I did not let go.
Due volte che sono morto
Can a podcast written and performed by an experienced writer and translator of Russian literature be funny, profound and even moving? Try listening to Due volte che sono morto and tell me.
Paolo Nori's work for Rai Play Sound was for me the most pleasant discovery of the past few months. It talks about relationships, work, literature and two serious accidents that marked the author's life, hence the title.
I do not anticipate anything else because it will be a journey as unexpected as life, told with a fantastic Parma accent that you will never shake off.
30 anni in cinque minuti
Almost thirty, neo-thirty and over-thirty, come together to listen to the bonus podcast: 30 anni in cinque minuti, Acrimonia's audio guide to unravelling the decade of the “enta”. How do today's 30-year-olds live, what do they think, what do they dream? Find out with Fabiola Graziosi and her guests.
