This week, we're gearing up for the Reading race and breaking down all the storylines heading into a big weekend of NHRA action! Plus, we welcome special guest Justin Ashley fresh off his latest win to talk about what it means for his season, his love for the NFL, and what's ahead on and off the track. As always, the crew dives into the latest news, bold predictions, and a little bit of madness along the way.

Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled episode of WFO Radio NHRA Nitro, live streaming and podcasting the ultimate post-race debrief from the legendary Cornwell Tools U.S. Nationals—the biggest drag race on the planet, where the stars of NHRA drag racing claimed glory and massive paydays! Fresh off their historic victories at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, join host Joe Castello as he sits down with the winning trio who dominated the 2025 edition, a race that shattered records and drew record-breaking ratings on Fox TV. First up, Austin Prock in Funny Car for John Force Racing, who didn't just win the Nationals—he clinched the regular season championship with a jaw-dropping performance, securing a payday that cements his legacy in the Force dynasty. Hear Austin break down his electrifying path to the winner's circle, from intense qualifying battles to that championship-clinching final pass that left the competition in the dust. Then, strap in with Justin Ashley in Top Fuel, the drag racing phenom who lit up the track with one of the lowest average reaction times in history—clocking starts so quick they blurred the line between human precision and machine perfection. Justin opens up about his relentless journey to U.S. Nationals triumph, sharing the high-stakes strategy, family legacy, and split-second decisions that propelled him to victory. And don't miss Gaige Herrera in Pro Stock Motorcycle, the two-wheel wizard who edged out the field in a heart-stopping final round by a razor-thin .003 reaction time—proving why he's the undisputed king of the bikes. Gaige recounts his wild ride to the top, from tuning tweaks under pressure to that unforgettable burnout that sealed his place in Nationals lore. NHRA's own Jason Galvin joins Joe Castello for a can't-miss recap of the entire event—the upsets, the burns, the records smashed, and the electric atmosphere that made this year's Nationals a Fox TV ratings juggernaut. Plus, gear up for the playoffs: They'll preview the explosive Nitro Fish NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway in Reading, PA—the kickoff to the NHRA Countdown to the Championship, where these winners and the entire nitro field chase the world title!

The WFO Ignition crew, led by host Joe Castello alongside, Sue Morris, and the Patreon posse, delivered a high-octane recap of the weekend's racing action that had fans buzzing. The crown jewel of the episode was their throwback to the NHRA U.S. Nationals, the “Big Go,” where they relived the nitro-fueled chaos at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park from August 27 to September 1, 2025. Highlighting Erica Enders' monumental Pro Stock victory and Tony Schumacher's epic Top Fuel return under Rick Ware Racing, they painted a vivid picture of Indy's record-setting runs and electric atmosphere. Joe's version of Gio's SportsCollision segment brought spicy crossover takes, Bobby Graham dropped Fantasy Results that shook up the leaderboard, and Matt's Australia Report added a global spin. The crew gets ready for Maple Grove Raceway this weekend.

Ramona Ponzini"Supercondominio7"Dogliani (Cuneo)https://radis-crt.it/Sabato 6 e domenica 7 settembre 2025 a Dogliani (CN) si terrà la settima edizione di Supercondominio, l'assemblea degli spazi indipendenti europei di produzione e promozione dell'arte contemporanea. Supercondominioè nato nel 2018 al Castello di Rivoli Museo d'Arte Contemporanea su iniziativa dell'allora Direttore Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, ideato insieme alle curatrici Caterina Molteni e Laura Lecce. Dopo le prime cinque edizioni al Castello di Rivoli, dal 2024 Supercondominio viene organizzato nei luoghi di Radis, il progetto d'arte nello spazio pubblico ideato e promosso dalla Fondazione per l'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT, ente “art oriented” della Fondazione CRT, in collaborazione con Fondazione CRC.Supercondominio7, curato da Treti Galaxie, art project fondato da Matteo Mottin e Ramona Ponzini, è un appuntamento del public program di Radis e la sua settima edizione si terrà a Dogliani (Cuneo), nel cui territorio, e precisamente nella Borgata Valdibà, verrà realizzata dall'artista Petrit Halilaj l'opera d'arte della seconda edizione del progetto.“Siamo orgogliosi di curare la settima edizione di Supercondominio, per il secondo anno nella sua rinnovata veste di assemblea annuale degli spazi indipendenti europei, e come parte del public program di Radis”, dichiara Treti Galaxie. “Lo scorso anno l'incontro si è tenuto a Rittana. Questa edizione si svolgerà tra le vie di Dogliani, attraversate da geometrie architettoniche inattese che ne punteggiano le colline e il paesaggio urbano. Qui, progetti indipendenti italiani ed europei condivideranno spazio e tempo in un contesto di dialogo aperto, focalizzato sull'arte come terreno vivo di apprendimento reciproco, favorito dalle ricerche e dagli sguardi delle artiste Cleo Fariselli ed Elena Mazzi. Una riunione aperta al pubblico di individui che guardano ciascuno nella medesima direzione, ma da luoghi e prospettive diverse: come nelle raffigurazioni medievali di città e paesaggi, caratterizzate dall'assenza di un unico punto di fuga, a Dogliani si andrà a comporre una visione d'insieme di prospettive radicali sull'arte, sul presente e sulla trasmissione di sapere. Ci auguriamo che da questo raduno possano nascere nuovi sguardi, pensieri e collaborazioni in grado favorire la formazione di nuovi pubblici per l'arte”.Supercondominio ha l'obiettivo di attivare un dialogo tra spazi, artiste e artisti per favorire riflessioni, conoscenze reciproche, nuove sinergie e collaborazioni, attraverso momenti di condivisione con il pubblico. Il focus di quest'anno è sull'educazione, intesa come strumento di attivazione, scambio e apertura verso nuovi pubblici, comunità e territori.Durante il weekend, si incontreranno a Dogliani cinque realtà italiane e cinque provenienti dal resto dell'Europa: Almanac (Torino), ARTECO (Torino), CLOSING SOON (Atene, Grecia), Independent Space Index (Vienna, Austria), LOCALES (Roma), Open School East (Margate, Inghilterra), PIA School (Lecce), Post Disaster (Milano/Taranto), PUBLICS (Helsinki, Finlandia), Toast Project (Firenze). Si confronteranno per condividere pratiche, esperienze e metodologie educative attraverso talk, performance e momenti di dialogo con il pubblico. Un'occasione per riflettere su forme non convenzionali di relazione con lo spazio pubblico e su come l'educazione e la formazione possano diventare motore di trasformazione culturale e sociale. Nel corso della due giorni interverranno anche le artiste Cleo Fariselli ed Elena Mazzi.Le attività si terranno nel Teatro della Chiesa Sacra Famiglia, nella Biblioteca civica Luigi Einaudi e nella Sala del Consiglio Comunale di Dogliani: sabato 6 settembre a partire dalle ore 9.00, nel Teatro della Chiesa Sacra Famiglia, dopo il discorso di benvenuto inizieranno le presentazioni degli spazi ospiti (9.30-11; 11.30-13.00; 14.30-17.30). La prima giornata si chiuderà alle 18.00 con la performance U.dell'artista Cleo Fariselli, concepita dall'artista come un'esperienza intima e immersiva. Una serie di piccole opere, oggetti e reperti viene “attivata” attraverso il gesto e lo sguardo, passando direttamente dalle mani dell'artista a quelle dei partecipanti: più che una semplice mostra, U. è un rito di condivisione tattile e visiva. Questa performance, che dal 2012 viene replicata in contesti diversi e rivolta a piccoli gruppi di persone, mantiene la sua natura viva, situata e irripetibile, per offrire un'esperienza unica e mai uguale a se stessa.Domenica 7 settembre alla Biblioteca civica Luigi Einaudi,ore 9.30, Elena Mazzi presenterà una selezione di lavori realizzati negli anni in diversi contesti pubblici – di comunità, in dialogo con istituzioni o con spazi indipendenti – decostruendo il lavoro Europe calling, nato nel contesto di Ptuj Capitale Culturale Europea 2012 (Slovenia), in occasione del quale Mazzi coinvolse spazi indipendenti europei in un dialogo aperto sulle loro modalità di gestione e finanziamento. Il pubblico, invitato a telefonare direttamente, poteva confrontarsi con le realtà coinvolte, apprendendo dal basso strategie alternative di lavoro culturale indipendente. Al termine della presentazione di Elena Mazzi, Supercondominio7 si concluderà alle 10.45 nella Sala del Consiglio Comunale di Dogliani con la consueta tavola rotonda.Tutti gli eventi, che si terranno in lingua inglese, saranno aperti al pubblico.Supercondominio7 è parte del palinsesto di incontri estivi del public program di Radis, pensati per avvicinare il pubblico all'inaugurazione dell'opera di Petrit Halilaj, prevista per il 5 ottobre 2025 alle ore 11.30 nella Borgata Valdibà (Dogliani), che la Fondazione per l'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT darà in comodato permanente al Comune di Dogliani.Il progetto Radis nasce per avvicinare l'arte contemporanea a un pubblico esteso e interviene in contesti non convenzionali e perarricchire il territorio piemontese con un patrimonio di opere d'arte pubblica per la comunità, con programmi educativi, incontri pubblici e progetti espositivi, concepiti per condividere e restituire alla collettività parte della collezione della Fondazione per l'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT. Giunto alla seconda edizione, nuovamente in collaborazione con la Fondazione CRC, nel quadriennio 2024-2027 Radis produrrà opere nello spazio pubblico attraverso un percorso di coinvolgimento attivo di abitanti, enti locali e associazioni. Le nuove produzioni, in dialogo con le storie locali e il paesaggio, contribuiranno a creare un nuovo immaginario condiviso e potranno diventare leva per un turismo attento all'ambiente e alla sostenibilità.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Paolo Cornaglia"I giardini e il parco del Castello di Agliè" (1624-1940). Dall'impianto formale al disegno paesaggisticoOlschki Editorewww.olschki.itA cura di Paolo Cornaglia e Marco Ferraril complesso di Agliè costituisce forse il tassello più prezioso delle Residenze Reali Sabaude. Il giardino vede, nei secoli, il passaggio dall'impianto formale seicentesco alla trasformazione settecentesca su modelli francesi, fino alle modifiche paesaggistiche ottocentesche. Ogni intervento si lega ai precedenti, lasciandoci in eredità relazioni raffinate tra palazzo, terrazze, giardini, parco e tenuta, gestite da scaloni, scalinate, rampe, fontane, punti di vista e prospettive. Un patrimonio ricco e perfettamente conservato, illuminato dal fascino intatto delle epoche che ha attraversato.«Tra le Residenze Sabaude, il Castello di Agliè con i giardini e il parco costituisce sicuramente una delle più preziose eredità».Direttore delle Residenze Reali Sabaude e dei Musei Nazionali del Piemonte.Paolo Cornaglia è professore associato di Storia dell'architettura presso il Politecnico di Torino. I suoi ambiti di ricerca riguardano le residenze di corte, i giardini storici, l'architettura in Europa centrale. In questo quadro, ha pubblicato tra gli altri: Giuseppe Battista Piacenza e Carlo Randoni. I Reali Palazzi tra Torino e Genova (1773-2021) (Torino, 2012), e Budapest. Architettura, città e giardini tra XIX e XX secolo (Torino, 2013). Per i tipi di Olschki, ha pubblicato Il giardino francese alla corte di Torino. Da André Le Nôtre a Michel Benard, 1650-1773 (2021), e curato Il giardino del Palazzo Reale di Torino, 1563-1915 (2019). - (febbraio 2025).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Andreina Contessa"I giardini di Miramare"Da parco eclettico a museo verdeOlschki Editorewww.olschki.itEsito della visione del colto arciduca Ferdinando Massimiliano d'Asburgo, appassionato di scienze e viaggi, il parco-giardino di Miramare costituisce un progetto intelligente e innovativo, che ospita una collezione botanica cosmopolita e il connubio eclettico di diverse concezioni di giardini. Questo libro studia e rivela un luogo spettacolare, a partire dal contesto storico-culturale in cui è stato prodotto a metà dell'Ottocento; il grande lavoro di conservazione e valorizzazione condotto negli ultimi anni ha reso questo giardino storico nazionale un vivace e accogliente museo verde sostenibile, capace di confrontarsi con la contemporaneità.«Il giardino di Ferdinando Massimiliano d'Asburgo è la creazione di un luogo utopico nel quale emerge l'universo dei suoi sogni, un mondo al contempo naturale, artificiale e artistico, nel quale l'arciduca ha dato forma a un proprio ideale di natura, di compimento e di incanto».Andreina Contessa, è stata direttrice del Museo Storico e Parco del Castello di Miramare, è storica dell'arte, specialista in arte medievale e moderna, dirigente museale e curatrice di mostre e allestimenti; si occupa di conservazione e valorizzazione del patrimonio storico-artistico, cura e manutenzione di musei verdi, accessibilità e sostenibilità, coniugando esperienza direttiva di interesse culturale con la passione per la ricerca.

Stefano Fenaroli"Non so come amarlo"I volti di Cristo in Jesus Christ SuperstarAncora Editricewww.ancoralibri.itÈ possibile lasciarsi sorprendere, ancora oggi, da una storia «vecchia» di duemila anni? È questa la sfida raccolta da questo libro, che esamina in tutta la sua profondità artistica e teologica un insolito classico del teatro religioso: Jesus Christ Superstar. L'autore ricerca una nuova prospettiva sulla fede e sulla spiritualità, andando oltre le solite interpretazioni della storia di Gesù. Con nuovi spunti di riflessione sulle dimensioni letterarie e teologiche del musical, Fenaroli esplora i diversi «volti» di Gesù, che parlano di amore, di tradimento e di follia. Un invito a guardare con occhi nuovi alla propria fede, per confrontarsi con la storia di una verità senza tempoStefano Fenaroli, nato a Brescia nel 1990, sposato dal 2019, dopo la maturità classica ha compiuto gli studi di teologia presso la Facoltà Teologica dell'Italia Settentrionale di Milano, dove ha conseguito il dottorato di ricerca con una tesi pubblicata con il titolo La teologia della deep incarnation (Brescia, 2024). Dopo aver insegnato religione cattolica nella diocesi di Brescia per alcuni anni, nel 2019 è assunto come redattore presso l'Editrice Queriniana di Brescia.

Cominceremo parlando del recente licenziamento del principale responsabile delle statistiche governative negli Stati Uniti, colpevole di aver diffuso dati non graditi al Presidente Trump. Discuteremo anche i paralleli storici che questa vicenda solleva. A seguire, commenteremo la decisione di uno zoo danese di chiedere ai proprietari di animali domestici di donare i loro animali per nutrire i leoni. Nella sezione scientifica, analizzeremo un interessante studio che mette in luce la parentela genetica tra patate e pomodori, nonostante le loro evidenti differenze esteriori. E concluderemo la prima parte del programma con una discussione sulle aste di articoli di moda. Oggetti appartenuti a persone famose vengono venduti a prezzi da capogiro.    La seconda parte della puntata è dedicata alla lingua e alla cultura italiana. L'argomento grammaticale di oggi è Uses of the Future Tense. Ne troverete numerosi esempi nel dialogo che seguirà, incentrato sul Castello di Sammezzano, uno dei luoghi più affascinanti della Toscana. Dopo anni di aste fallite, trattative poco trasparenti e silenzi istituzionali, il castello ha finalmente trovato un nuovo proprietario, deciso a restituirgli splendore. Nel finale, ci concentreremo sull'espressione idiomatica di oggi: essere/stare sulle spine. Il dialogo in cui la utilizzeremo prende spunto da una campagna pubblicitaria decisamente insolita: un enorme cartellone che raffigura una banana gigante, tenuta da una mano femminile, apparso nei pressi della Fontana di Trevi. Una trovata provocatoria che a Roma ha suscitato un mix di risate, perplessità e perfino un bel po' di polemiche. - Trump licenzia la principale responsabile delle statistiche governative per aver diffuso dei dati che a lui non piacevano - Uno zoo danese invita i proprietari a donare i propri animali domestici per nutrire i leoni - Uno studio genetico collega le origini della patata al pomodoro - Una borsa da 8 milioni di euro può essere considerata patrimonio culturale? - Un futuro per l'eclettico castello di Sammezzano - La pubblicità della banana che fa discutere Roma

Calocaerus (Greek: Καλόκαιρος; d. 334 AD) was a Roman usurper who led a short-lived revolt against Emperor Constantine I in Cyprus. Appointed in 330 AD as Magister pecoris camelorum ("Master of the Flock and Camels"), a position with uncertain significance, Calocaerus proclaimed himself emperor in 334 AD. His rebellion, however, was swiftly suppressed by Flavius Dalmatius, Constantine's half-brother, and he was executed in Tarsus. While often dismissed as an inconsequential footnote, the context of his revolt raises intriguing questions. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Maria Castello, whose research sheds new light on this period. Maria suggests that Calocaerus' rebellion might have been more significant than previously thought. The timing, occurring shortly after a devastating earthquake, and the dramatic manner of his execution hint at broader implications.

If you head away from the hustle and bustle of the Piazza San Marco (St Mark's Square), you'll head into the stranger, more magical part of Venice. It's in the tangle of narrow streets and courts that you enter the realm of Venetian legend. It's difficult to know how many of them have any basis in fact. One legend sees the Devil face off with legendary composer, Vivaldi. Another sees the Devil try to snatch the soul of the first person to cross the Rialto Bridge - a bridge he created. Yet another involves a fisherman and his mermaid bride, which I covered in Rebel Folklore. I've also covered some Venetian creepy ghost stories before. Yet this next legend even has physical evidence to testify to its occurrence. Or does it? Let's explore the legend behind the carvings found on a fabulous building in Castello in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
