La storia di Alessandro “Alì” Alibrandi inizia a Roma, il 12 giugno 1960. Figlio di un giudice istruttore simpatizzante della destra missina, a soli quindici anni si fa notare per la ferocia con cui si scaglia contro i gruppi di sinistra. È spesso coinvolto in alcuni degli episodi più violenti degli sconti tra fascisti e compagni. Giovanissimo si ritrova schedato tra le pagine dei dossier antifascisti, e con la violenza cresce tra le fila nemiche la fama e l'immagine del fascista impunito, protetto da un padre potente e “nero” come il figlio.   Una produzione Emons Record e GOG edizioni in media partnership con OPEN Il podcast è tratto dall'omonimo libro di Nicola Ventura e David Barra pubblicato da GOG   Materiali audio Radio Radicale Si ringraziano Piero Bardash, Valerio Bosco e Lorenzo Loreti per i doppiaggi Learn more about your ad choices.

For more than twenty-five years, Pia Miranda has been a household name, gracing screens big and small with her talent. From her iconic role in Looking for Alibrandi, she's also won Survivor, sung in a mask, danced with the stars, had two children with a husband she adores, and released her memoir Finding My Bella Vita.  In this episode of Three Food Memories, Pia opens up about her experiences on set, from being pushed as a young actor to creating a safe space for those fresh to the industry. She also shares an “interesting” two-ingredient salad recipe, the origins of her surprising love of Melbourne Bitter, and fond memories of lining up with cousins à la Oliver Twist for her Nanna's lamb shank soup. Pia's social cause is Dolly's Dream, because as she says “Not everyone has the capacity to be resilient, what we should do is change our behaviour so everyone can feel included.”Find out more about Dolly's Dream and Do it for Dolly Day here: dollysdream.org.auProduced and edited by Lauren McWhirterMusic by Russell TorranceTo find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavasEmail us at threefoodmemories@plated.com.au, we'd love to hear from you!

CULINARY ARCHIVE PODCAST

The tomato was dismissed as poison for 200 years in Italy, though it's now celebrated as a staple of its cuisine. Italian migration to Australia helped make the tomato a mainstream ingredient here. Learn about the people who grow it, preserve it or cook it — whether it's Italian Australians bottling passata in their ‘second kitchen' (garage) in Sydney, the Cambodian refugee family growing heirloom tomatoes on a former zoo, or the Indigenous café owner serving bush tomatoes on her menu. This episode features Sharon Winsor, Ngemba Weilwan woman and founder of Indigiearth and Warakirri Dining; Dr Cecilia Leong-Salobir, food historian and author; Joseph Vargetto, chef and owner of Mister Bianco; and Leakkhena Ma, farmer at Goldenfield.

“You know, for me, I loved reading, but I didn't exist on those pages and when a child of any age doesn't exist in our mainstream, in our books, in our stories, they start believing they're not important.”  – Melina Marchetta  Looking for Alibrandi broke new ground with its honest and empowered portrait of an Italian-Australian teen coming of age in 1990s inner Sydney, speaking authentically about systemic racism in Australia from a migrant perspective.   For generations of teens, the beloved novel (and later cult movie) is a foundational story. Its exploration of family, womanhood, first love, identity and othering still resonates with readers today, 30 years after its release.  Now, Melina Marchetta's novel has been adapted for the stage. In this special collaboration between the Wheeler Centre and Malthouse Theatre, Marchetta joined playwright Vidya Rajan, director Stephen Nicolazzo, and the film's star Pia Miranda to discuss Looking for Alibrandi's journey from page to screen to stage, the art of adaptation, and the enduring impact of this Australian classic.   This conversation was hosted by Brodie Lancaster and recorded at the Malthouse Theatre on 18 July 2022.  The bookseller was Hill of Content Bookshop.  Music: Pastel Colours by Sarah, The Illstrumentalist Support the Wheeler Centre: https://www.wheelercentre.com/support-us/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Talk about dream podcast guest! If you're anything like me, chances are you watched Looking for Alibrandi growing up. Pia won an AFI award for best lead actress for her role as Josephine Alibrandi. I had this movie on DVD and the soundtrack on CD too, so you can imagine how nervous I was going into this interview. More recently I've watched Pia on Wentworth and Mustangs FC. She's also done a bunch of theatre acting too. I love that Pia opened up about acting and her process, we talked about different acting techniques, i was like a kid in a candy shop. Of course I couldn't interview Pia Miranda without asking about Survivor; Pia won Survivor, that's 50 days in Fiji slogging it out, facing her fears to win the title. After the pod Pia asked if i wanted to smell her Survivor gear, i was like sure thing, spoiler alert it literally smells like jungle. Pia is open, kind and caring. I hope you love this interview as much as I do, it was an honour to sit down with the talented Pia Miranda.

Sure, heroes are great and they save the day, but what is it about a TV villain that we can't get enough of? From Succession's Kendall Roy and Breaking Bad's Walter White to Veep's Selina Meyer, the baddies tend to steal the show. Acclaimed writers Benjamin Law (The Family Law) and Melina Marchetta (Looking for Alibrandi) join The Chaser's Chris Taylor to discuss what makes their favourite TV rogues and cringe-worthy wrongdoers so compelling in this riotous conversation that ranges from Fleabag to The Office.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anonymous Was A Woman Podcast

Chapter 1: Jamila and Astrid dive into the books that first made them feel ‘grown up' and the ones that represented their shifts into adulthood. Regular listeners won't be surprised that Astrid says her coming of age read was Stephen King's 'It'. Jamila brings us back to the world of appropriate teenage reading by reminiscing about Melina Marchetta's 'Looking for Alibrandi'. Chapter 2: Jamila brings Chang Rae Lee's 'My Year Abroad' to the podcast, and she is more blunt than usual about a work of fiction. Chapter 3: And for the first time ever, Astrid recommends a rom-com - Naoise Dolan's 'Exciting Times' (Astrid assures us it is the thinking woman's rom-com). Recommendations: Two each this week! For adults, Jamila recommends 'Dreams from my Father' by Barack Obama. Jamila then refuses to take Astrid seriously when Astrid recommends Anne Rice's 1976 classic, 'Interview with the Vampire'. Both then make recommendations for middle grade readers - Jamila brings '45 and 47 Stella Street' by Elizabeth Honey, and Astrid brings 'The Chronicles of Morrigan Crow' series from Jessica Townsend. CHAT WITH US Join our discussion using hashtag #AnonymousWasAWomanPod and don't forget to follow Jamila (on Instagram and Twitter) and Astrid (also on Instagram and Twitter) to continue the conversation.

Lunch Time Leaders  -- A Middle School Podcast Dedicated to Learning in the 21st Century

A team of eight students have been examining a script from the Young American Heroes Project on Frederick Douglas. They are going to send their suggestions to the production team when finished. Today they had the opportunity to interview Professor Alibrandi from Fairfield University who is working with the production company, Palace Production Center. "Palace Production Center, an award-winning Connecticut media company is teaming with Fairfield University Graduate School of Education, CPTV, and a team of top historians from places like Yale University and the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History to create a breakthrough multi-platform project to help teach history and civics to middle school students. Called Young American Heroes (YAH), the project is one of only a handful funded last year by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in a national competition that drew 80 entries. YAH seeks to set up a new paradigm for education...breaking down the walls...going directly to teachers to get their input...and finding students where they live 24/7 on their I-Pods and cell phones...speaking to them in peer based language. " http://www.cpbn.org/young-american-heroes The film is scheduled to be aired on National Public Television next year.
