Today's guest is the drummer who took punk out of the garage, put it on your radio, then on MTV, then on your body. But his real story isn't the discography. It's what he did with everything that was supposed to end him.From a four-piece kit in Fontana to the center of the album cover, Travis carries three things simultaneously that most musicians never figure out how to hold at once: the craft of writing a drum part as a hook — singing it in his head before his hands ever get there; the conviction that no genre gets to own him, and no one else gets to write his ending; and the contrarian edge to ban Auto-Tune, editing, and drum samples from his own studio at the exact moment the rest of the industry is sprinting toward machine-clean.And The Writer Is...

The Ultimate Computer (Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS), S2 E24) was recommended by Tana he/they, who said: Tana here again. In my quest to submit one recommendation from each of my formative Trek series (TNG, Voy, DS9, and TOS) the original series one has eluded me the most.For me TOS was a show I mostly watched after knowing the other ones. It wasn't being re run on TV much if at all where I was, while I eagerly recorded TNG, Voyager, and DS9 on the vcr and could watch and rewatch them endlessly.I did, however, buy a few individual episodes of TOS on VHS at my local big box electronics store. I only got four, because they were expensive for me as a teen, but they definitely wetted my appetite for the show that started it all.Of them, The Ultimate Computer stuck with me the most, and I don't hear It brought up a ton. It has a bit of everything that I love about classic Trek.You have Kirk and the others struggling with their love of technological progress running into the possibility of their lives being upended by such an advance.You have diversity in super genius scientist played by a black man in the 1960's.Kirk using his brains over brawn approach to talk a computer to death.You even get some space combat!The entire main cast does a fantastic job in this one as well. I'll give a special nod to Shatner, Kelley, and Marshall.All around it's a fantastically well balanced example of Original Star Trek. It has great interpersonal drama woven around an age old tale of man vs machine.As for the specifics of the plot, I leave that for you to discuss and enjoy.The Ultimate Computer first aired on March 8, 1968, written by story by Laurence N. Wolfe, teleplay by D. C. Fontana, and directed by John Meredyth LucasA new computer system causes havoc while being tested aboard the Enterprise. With most of the Enterprise crew deboarded, a new M5 multitronic system is installed to test if it can control the Enterprise and manage operations aboard. Dr. Richard Daystrom has built this M5 unit and will oversee the test. Everything goes as planned as the M5 unit completes the demonstration tasks, but somehow the machine begins gaining too much control of the Enterprise, which starts to worry Spock and Kirk. When Kirk says he wants the M5 to let go of some of the controls the machine begins to see that as a threat and starts locking out all manual controls. This becomes a problem because the next task is a mock battle with three starships, which the M5 thinks are actual attacks. The M5 loads the torpedoes, destroys the USS Excalibur and seriously damages the USS Lexington. Dr. Daystrom tries to talk to the M5 but becomes mentally unstable, so Spock puts him to rest. Then Kirk talks to the M5 and makes it understand that it was designed not to harm humans, a rule the M5 has broken by attacking the USS Lexington and Excalibur. The M5 realizes that its understanding is still weak and destroys itself. Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Scotty and Chekov retake control of the ship and return safely to base.[2]The Joy of Trek is hosted by Khaki & Kay, with editing & production by Chief Engineer Greg and music by Fox Amoore (Bandcamp | Bluesky)Send us your recommendations, or support us on Patreon.Find us at joyoftrek.com · Twitter · Facebook

Most B2B event strategies don't fail because of budgets or venues, they fail because they're built around pitches, decks, and headcount instead of real conversations with the right people. Today's guest, Joseph Fontana, Chief Revenue Officer at Amzai and Chief Growth Officer at Buyer Foresight, has spent over 30 years building sales organizations and leading thousands of sales conversations. He's turned a simple but powerful idea into a scalable model: conversations move pipeline, not pitches. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Joe breaks down why we're living in a “golden era” for events, even as AI floods the market with low-quality content and buyers become more skeptical than ever. Instead of chasing massive conferences and overproduced webinars, Joe helps B2B brands design one-to-few executive dinners and small-format events where prospects talk honestly about their biggest pain points. No slides. No case study walk-throughs. No “quick demos.” Just carefully curated conversations that build trust, insight, and long-term pipeline. Joe explains where most companies get events totally wrong: talking at prospects instead of with them, making the night about their agenda instead of the buyer's, and pushing decks, collateral, and follow-up sequences that instantly kill trust. He shows how to flip that model by starting with one critical question: “What makes this person sweat the bed at 4 a.m.?” From there, Joe and his team craft tight messaging, smart outreach, and 6–7 sharp questions that get high-value prospects to happily show up, engage with peers, and open up about the real problems they're trying to solve. You'll also hear Joe's philosophy on simple systems that scale, the crucial difference between motivation and accountability, and why even the best event will fail without disciplined, thoughtful follow-up from the actual people in the room (not a random SDR three days later). He shares how his own chocolate-tasting events for marketers and sales leaders double as both a memorable experience and a live demonstration of his methodology in action, no hard pitch required. https://youtu.be/LvNl-OfwKsM?si=v8QDCY_6YZW4b5_d If you're tired of events that “look good” on a slide but don't turn into revenue, this episode will show you a different path. You'll learn how to design small, high-trust experiences that your buyers actually want to attend, how to listen more and talk less, and how to turn authentic executive conversations into predictable, high-quality pipelines. Quotes: “Sales has always been and always shall be a series of conversations that moves you from awareness to consideration, from life as it is today to life as it can be.” “There's nothing easy about a simple process, people see simple and assume they can ‘make it better,' and that's exactly how they break it.” “Your prospect doesn't care about you; they care about themselves, and the only time you enter the equation is if they think you might cost them their job.” Contact Details: Ready to Make Every Event Deliver More?

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8622COVID, LA REISCRIZIONE PER I MEDICI RADIATI E' UN ATTO DI GIUSTIZIAdi Paolo Gulisano La Commissione Affari sociali della Camera ha approvato, il 14 luglio 2026, un emendamento che permette ai medici radiati dall'Ordine durante la pandemia di Covid di chiedere la reiscrizione all'albo professionale. La norma porta la prima firma della deputata di Fratelli d'Italia Alice Buonguerrieri. È inserita nella legge delega di riforma delle professioni sanitarie. L'emendamento non prevede un reintegro automatico. I medici radiati potranno presentare istanza di reiscrizione entro sessanta giorni dall'entrata in vigore della legge. Chi sono questi medici? La misura riguarda i sanitari che vennero radiati con l'accusa di «aver promosso attivamente pratiche antiscientifiche durante la pandemia, mettendo a rischio pazienti e salute pubblica». Non riguarda invece i medici che semplicemente non si erano vaccinati: per loro la sanzione era stata la sospensione, non la radiazione, ed è decaduta già nel novembre 2022.La radiazione è la sanzione disciplinare più grave. Cancella un professionista dall'albo. Viene applicata solo in casi estremi, come a seguito di reati penali nell'esercizio della professione. In realtà i medici radiati nel periodo pandemico subirono questa sanzione solo per aver espresso un pensiero difforme rispetto alla narrazione ufficiale. Non si limitarono ai protocolli governativi, tachipirina e vigile attesa, ma intrapresero cure con vari farmaci, in particolare antinfiammatori.Fummo non pochi a praticare le cure precoci domiciliari, ma alcuni - qualche decina di medici, rei forse di aver divulgato pubblicamente questo tipo di attività terapeutica, e i conseguenti successi clinici - vennero denunciati e condannati alla radiazione per «diffusione pubblica di terapie prive di basi scientifiche».La decisione della Commissione Affari sociali giunge dopo cinque anni a mettere fine a questa vergogna, all'aver discriminato, messo alla gogna e allontanato dalla professione dei sanitari colpevoli solo di un "reato" di opinione, ovvero di avere un pensiero critico nei confronti di protocolli ufficiali di tipo sperimentale che non avevano prove scientifiche di efficacia. Tutti gli studi degli ultimi anni hanno dimostrato che attraverso cure domiciliari precoci, e attraverso l'utilizzo di farmaci antinfiammatori così come di antitrombotici e persino degli antibiotici tanto osteggiati dalla narrazione ufficiale, si sarebbero potute salvare migliaia di vite.Il reintegro dei medici radiati è un atto dovuto e meritorio, soprattutto in un momento in cui il sistema sanitario ha disperatamente bisogno di medici. Eppure, questa scelta del governo ha visto l'immediata, incomprensibile levata di scudi di alcuni soggetti. In primis il presidente della Federazione nazionale degli ordini dei medici chirurghi e degli odontoiatri , Filippo Anelli, che ha lanciato un appello al Parlamento perché riveda la norma che introduce la possibilità di reiscrizione immediata per i sanitari radiati durante il Covid. Anelli ha detto che questi medici «non hanno creduto nella Scienza durante il Covid e non hanno tenuto comportamenti aderenti alle nostre norme del Codice di deontologia». Ancora una volta la scienza è eretta a idolo, a divinità indiscussa che «deve essere il punto di riferimento della nostra società». Quale scienza, è lecito chiedersi. La medicina è una branca scientifica che si avvale di continui e nuovi contributi, non un Moloch intoccabile. In tempi in cui non si crede più a nessuna verità rivelata, la scienza dovrebbe guidare la vita dei cittadini. Gli esiti dell'epidemia stanno a dimostrare quanto questa proclamazione dogmatica non regga.Inoltre, l'intervento del dottor Anelli impressiona per la sua spietatezza: continuare a mantenere la radiazione di questi colleghi rappresenta una vera e propria forma di accanimento senza alcuno scopo. Una criminalizzazione di professionisti che non hanno compiuto alcun fatto doloso.Purtroppo la voce del presidente Anelli non è rimasta isolata. Aveva uno scopo chiaramente politico, rivolto innanzitutto alle forze d'opposizione nell'attuale Parlamento, ma ha trovato una sponda anche nel centrodestra, nella persona del presidente della Regione Lombardia, Attilio Fontana. L'inquilino di Palazzo Lombardia ha ribadito che i medici radiati devono continuare ad esserlo, sempre in nome del primato della scienza. Peccato che nel 2023 lo stesso Fontana avesse sposato la tesi secondo cui la causa della gravità del Covid in alcune persone fosse dovuta a dei fantomatici geni risalenti all'uomo di Neanderthal. Non la mancanza di cure adeguate, non il tracollo della sanità territoriale, non la mancanza di posti letto conseguenza di scelte del governo regionale, ma l'uomo delle caverne aveva determinato in Lombardia il tasso di mortalità più alto d'Europa. Forse è su quanto accadde allora che Fontana dovrebbe indagare, anziché accodarsi alle richieste di accanimento, che rappresentano anche un brutto segnale politico che andrebbe prontamente colto e neutralizzato.Nota di BastaBugie: Andrea Zambrano nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "La condanna della vigile attesa e la vittoria dell'indometacina" parla della perizia della Commissione Covid che sancisce il fallimento della raccomandazione "paracetamolo e vigile attesa".Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana il 28 luglio 2026:Per poter "apparecchiare" le prove della disfatta della gestione dell'ex ministro Roberto Speranza, la Commissione di indagine Covid aveva bisogno della "pistola fumante" da presentare all'ex titolare della Salute. E l'ha trovata con una corposa perizia tecnica che boccia senza appello la raccomandazione di Paracetamolo e vigile attesa che fu la prima indicazione ministeriale durante i drammatici mesi della pandemia.Ora, con un giudizio del genere, che certifica che l'approccio della vigile attesa nei pazienti paucisintomatici fu deleterio e aggravò i ricoveri in ospedale, la Commissione dovrà chiedere a Speranza di presentarsi per essere audito. E questo rappresenterà sicuramente uno dei momenti più importanti nella vita della Commissione alla ripresa dei lavori parlamentari dopo la pausa di agosto.E lo farà presentandogli i risultati di una perizia, che difficilmente l'ex ministro potrà smentire.Anzitutto perché la perizia è stata affidata non ad un medico qualunque, ma a un dirigente del Servizio pubblico, la dottoressa Simona Amato, direttore Uoc Accreditamento, Qualità e Risk Management dell'Asl Roma 2. In secondo luogo, perché la sua nomina è avvenuta all'unanimità da parte dell'ufficio di presidenza, nel quale siedono anche esponenti dell'opposizione che all'epoca erano al governo.Eppure, da un punto di vista medico, la perizia della dottoressa Amato non aggiunge nulla di quanto non fosse già noto, ma mette un punto finale su una vicenda che anche su queste colonne abbiamo documentato abbondantemente: l'abbandono terapeutico di migliaia di pazienti che, senza alcuna indicazione da parte dei loro medici di medicina generale, hanno visto aggravarsi la malattia da Covid 19 fino a dover ricorrere alle cure dell'ospedale e in alcuni casi rimettendoci la vita.Si potevano salvare? La domanda resta sullo sfondo, ma la risposta affermativa è implicita nell'analisi della vigile attesa, che, appurato non essere un vero e proprio protocollo medico, è stato considerata anche da parte della Federazione degli Ordini dei medici una «mera raccomandazione». Sì, una raccomandazione, però, che è stata seguita pedissequamente da migliaia di medici e ha fatto danni evidenti.Perché, come si legge nel documento che la Bussola ha potuto visionare «la vigile attesa è un atteggiamento che di norma viene assicurato quando le possibilità̀ di guarigione spontanea sono notevoli e se sappiamo che la malattia, che stiamo affrontando, difficilmente evolverà̀ in maniera pericolosa». E questo non era certo il caso del Covid 19.Ma anche perché «a ben vedere però nemmeno la vigile attesa e la terapia sintomatica avevano all'epoca evidenze solide ed incontrovertibili, vieppiù̀ che la malattia era pressoché́ sconosciuta. Eppure, la citata circolare, in maniera inconfutabile, indica per i pazienti positivi al tampone per infezione da SARS-COV-2, che siano asintomatici o pausintomatici, e si trovino a domicilio, la vigile attesa e trattamenti sintomatici quali ad esempio il paracetamolo». Una follia sanitaria. Motivo per cui - si legge sempre nel documento firmato dalla dottoressa Amato - la "vigile attesa" è andata a impattare nella situazione già critica della organizzazione delle cure territoriali» mentre «per un paziente "a domicilio" nella fase di replicazione virale sarebbe stato logico considerare l'introduzione precoce di trattamento ad azione antivirale, soprattutto se presenti fattori di rischio per progressione di malattia, piuttosto che la vigile attesa e il paracetamolo».Nel testo la Amato spiega molto bene - come la Bussola fece dando voce a numerosi medici sul campo - il meccanismo di proliferazione della malattia da Covid e, sostanzialmente, la sua evoluzione in una malattia diversa in fase grave. Invece «l'approccio di vigile attesa e paracetamolo indicato dalla prima circolare del 30 novembre 2020 non ha tenuto conto delle prove scientifiche effettivamente a disposizione nella letteratura scientifica dando, dunque, delle indicazioni non supportate da prove di efficacia e ponendo quindi a rischio di evoluzione di malattia i pazienti paucisintomatici a domicilio».E questo ha provocato
This playlist is 91% vinyl friendly. Near perfect. Philips, The Tina Century Bluetooth Turntable room.. A £350-£400 retro look to blend in with your wood panelling room, it reminds me of a car grill from the 1960s. Built-in speakers with deep (how low can you go) bass and crystal-clear highs. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. Lyric of Playlist 154 Tim Hardin’s lyric and song title. 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – Dreams Never End (John Peel session: 16.2.81) – The Peel Sessions 12″ EP – Strange Fruit – 1987 Diary for Jan 16, ’81 says ‘Karl W round. NEW ORDER JOHN PEEL…‘ Those caps signal something special and the journey had begun at Heaven, London a week earlier. Two good mates called Karl were there, though I hadn’t realised the one at my house listening to the first broadcast of the session was a Carl. 03.45 THE TEARDROP EXPLODES – Second Head – Kilimanjaro, LP – Mercury – 1980 Listening to this album now it’s got a bit of a bubbly and bouncy feel. Judging by a set list suggested for the Manchester Poly night’ that followed ours/mine it doesn’t look like Second Head made into our night here. Packed with Kilimanjaro tracks though. 06.55 TOM PETTY and THE HEARTBREAKERS – I Need To Know – 7″ – Shelter – 1978 Still with a fair amount of ‘rock’ in my world at this point in time, for some reason I thought I’d had a 12″ of this but that would have been a bit daft. At just 2mins 22 plus, a fiery new wave feel that could have made it as an Elvis Costello tune. 09.17 FORMAL SPPEEDWEAR – Who Needs Spain Ball – Punch Card, LP – Melodic – 2026 “Who Needs Spain Ball?”. ‘On the surface, the single functions as a highly accessible, synth-forward New Wave track featuring the record's biggest, most infectious pop chorus. However, the title and the song’s inner mechanics are intentionally surreal, designed to “pull the rug” out from under the listener‘. – Apologies, I forgot the source. An early Talking Heads vibe going on? They’re pulling the rug even more with their merch – with the band’s name the only lettering… album t-shirts! 12.28 BIG JOANIE – It’s You – Sistahs, LP – The Daydream Library Series – 2018 So post punk! 14.48 EGOSLAVIA – Twist Face – Self-titled, (mini) LP – 9 1/2 x 16″ Records – 1982 Not that many will have debated it but I’ve always pronounced this band as ‘Egoslayvia’ and it’s only just dawned on me it was likely ‘Egoslahvia’. Better late… and a band I was introduced to by a US guy who dropped in on John Peel’s radio show somewhere in the ’80s. Very unusual for Peely to have anyone else in the studio with him but his guest was picking tracks from three or so US bands that Peely had never heard of, something that irritated the latter, slightly. 20.08 BIFFER BONKER – 4 Prong, Fucked Up, 2 Potato Thing – Biffer Bonker Is…Unabashed, download album only – ? – 2026 Anyone with a decades long history of Bedford, UK’s musical landscape stretching back to punk bands of the mid to late 70s will have knowledge of Biffer in a former life or three fronting a wealth of different bands but his present world view is available here, with something from the man for me currently getting waylaid by various postal services. ‘No god is required… ‘ Ain’t that the truth and if there isn’t a lyric sheet involved somewhere I might be requesting one :), as he’ll be back here at some point. He’s also the man who introduced me to Click Click via an early demo tape of theirs somewhere around 1984. 23.17 BROKEN SPINDLES – To Die, For Death – Fulfilled / Complete, LP – Saddle Creek – 2004 Content with having spun Induction on an earlier show, and as it turns out, rightly guessing on the album’s diversity I hadn’t been rushing to grab the physical vinyl… but here we are! One Joel Peterson, from Omaha, Nebraska. 25.35 TARWATER – 20 Miles Up – Silur, LP – Kitty-Yo – 1986 From the US to Germany and there’s a far wider breadth to this duos ‘catalogue’ than the two tracks now spun on 41 Rooms would suggest. 29.35 RIPPLE – I Don’t Know What It Is But It Sure Is Funky – 7″ – GRC – 1973 I don’t know about I Don’t Know… but with no UK release it’s unlikely our mainstream radio of the time spun this, though maybe a DJ or two down the Pilgrims or in the Anglers (Inn) Lair across the road could have. I have strong memories of hearing Willie Henderson’s Dance Master at the latter. 32.53 MARY KENT – Lost Generation – 7″ – CBS – 1969 It’s a slower, darker take than the version the song’s writer, Jim(my) Webb put out himself a year later and though Mary’s intro needed red carding for the show her version has some gravitas and feels ‘worthier’ now than it may have done to the UK’s record buyers back in 1969… what with the Vietnam war being… yep, somewhere else. The intro brings to my mind Common Sense’s Resurrection ’95. 36.57 LADY BLACKBIRD vs CROOKED MAN – Whatever His Name (Pt 1) * – Crooked Spirituals Remixes, 12″ – Foundation – 2025 She’s rightly got her soul audience but I much prefer her vocals set against some electronic goings on, as with the already 41 Rooms’ spun Athletes Of God and some remixing bods, including here, Crooked Man. They seem to give her vocals more of an edge for me. 42.18 ROBERTO RODRIGUEZ (feat. MAX C) – About This Love (Crazy P Remix) (Dub) * – 12″ – Compost Black Label – 2009 The vocals are incidental but the track just keeps building, dropping, shifting. A head-nod-a-thon of slight unease. 45.42 CLICK CLICK – Stay Out Of The Water – 12″ b-side – Rorschach Testing – 1985 Great times in the summer and autumn of ’85. Our RT label is off and running with a party at Winkles (Bedford), a P(roduction) and D(istribution) deal with Rough Trade, 500 copies of the initial yellow and blue sleeved 12″ pressing head straight to the US off the back of A-side (Sweet Stuff) getting CC Single Of The Week in Sounds and with spins on John Peel’s radio show there are one-off gigs in London, Brighton and Northampton and rehearsals are sounding great. Gig poster for 28.11.84. Part of a Rorschach Testing ad, The Catalogue #29, Aug ’85. 49.24 SIMPLE MINDS – Premonition (John Peel session: 7.1.80) – Silver Box, 5CD – Virgin – 2004 Having already seen them on the OGWT (live from Hurrah’s New York) and live at the Marquee the previous month I must have heard this session but for whatever reason I definitely didn’t record it. A ropey photo below of mine from London’s Hammersmith Palais, 26.8.80. 54.28 THE FALL – Dktr. Faustus * – Bend Sinister, LP – Beggars Banquet – 1986 It’s about time Mark E Smith (RIP) and his gang made it back here… so they have. 00.01.00 ECHO and THE BUNNYMEN – I Bagsy Yours (John Peel session: 22.8.79) – The Peel Sessions 12″ EP – 1988 This show’s third Peel session track of the era and the song renamed Monkeys in time to nestle next to the track Crocodiles months later on their debut album. I’m with ‘Bagsy’, though. Even us southerners used the term back then, though it might be best to not remember how it was being used here. 01.02.47 THE MOVE – I Can Hear The Grass Grow – 7″ – Deram – 1967 ‘An early, proto-psychedelic freakbeat masterpiece‘ in some modern day circles but a fab bit of wild pop back then. As the years rolled on though, the ‘weedier’ (sadly) Roy Wood’s guitar interjections have sounded. 01.05.52 PETULA CLARK – The Other Man’s Grass (Is Always Greener) – 7″ – Pye – 1967 Husband and wife writers, Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent (or in this particular case, Jackie Trent and Tony Hatch :)), with their key and tempo changing swirler giving ‘Our Pet’ her last Top 20 hit. So idiosyncratic it never got covered by anyone else or maybe offered as an exclusive to Petula? Either way, I bet Trent (no mean singer herself) forwarded a guide vocal version and I’d have been interested in hearing that. And it’s taken me a week to realise I’ve placed two songs next to each with ‘Grass’ in the title. Very unintentional but spooky and true. 01.08.49 BROOKE COMBE – Tears Won’t Lie * – 7″ – Fontana – 2026 I reckon Northern soul’s younger followers will dance and some older purists will very likely pick at the production but Combe and co-writer, James Skelly have nailed it, and if this song had been recorded in the mid 1960s – and maybe on the label this 7″ now pays homage to (with say Kiki Dee?) – there’d be an even bigger price tag on it than this barely out of the 2026 pressing plant £18 7′ already commands. Also, all involved in the Combe camp will have been as meticulous on the look for the dancers in the video as was MT Jones for his I Don’t Understand. Paying homage can be tough stuff. 01.11.19 TERRY CALLIER – Ordinary Joe – 7″ – Cadet – 1972 Terry and producer, Charles Stepney with a ‘skipping along the road’ feel. An even more expensive buy than the above… and I have neither. 01.15.17 CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARD – Give Me Just A Little More Time – 7″ – Invictus – 1970 INV 501. Did Invictus kick off their UK releases with a homage to Tamla Motown’s UK singles catalogue. Five years earlier the latter had also started with (TMG) 501, via The Supremes’ Stop In The Name Of Love. 01.17.57 JACKIE WILSON – I Get The Sweetest Feeling – 7″ – Brunswick – 1968 1968 for Jackie but the mid ’70s for me. Putnoe, Bedford… sunshine… Gill H… 01.20.49 THE CONTROLLERS – Somebody’s Gotta Win, Somebody’s Gotta Loose (7″ version) – 7″ – Juana – 1977 I didn’t knowingly hear this til maybe twenty years ago. With the amount of music that bypasses us, is it possible I’ve never heard the greatest song I could ever hear? 01.24.42 UMBRA MOON – Don’t Let Me Down – Download only – 2024 This Australian girl is seemingly taking longer to break out than I would have imagined but though stylistically aside of my normal listening, this is a gem. 01.28.02 SHAWN PHILLIPS – Solitude – 7″ b-side – Columbia – 1965 With my copy bought for this side alone, there are few artists I’ve come across who have been both super jaunty and deeper than deep in the songwriting department and 41 Rooms can be with Shawn in both moods. 01.30.48 JOHN and BEVERLEY MARTYN – Primrose Hill – 7″ – Warner Brothers – 1970 In 1970 approximately 1% of the American population had a passport, so aside thinking (at best) Primrose Hill maybe had some Civil War battle reference for them they were going to struggle to warm to this London landmark being referenced, even though somebody at Warners US – as opposed to their UK counterpoints – thought this Carole King-like tune had legs as a single. Sadly, they were wrong, with the promo 7″ likely more common than the stock copy. 01.33.40 TIM HARDIN – You Upset The Grace Of Living When You Lie – 7″ promo only – Verve Forecast – 1967 Yep, lyric and title of show 154 goes to… though at 1min 45 it’s nearly over by the time he’s got through singing the line. A ragged, slightly altered take of the song was part of Hardin’s performance at Woodstock but his set only got to make it to an official release of the festival in 2019. 01.35.22 JOSE FELICIANO – Dirty Work – For My Love… Mother Music, LP – RCA – 1974 It’s likely I’d be outnumbered with my thinking here but Jose’s passion makes Steely Dan’s own recorded version, sung by their then main vocalist, David Palmer, sound lack lustre. 01.38.08 VANGELIS – He-O – Earth, LP – Vertigo – 1973 Back in Vangelis’ big years I only got around to wanting his 1976 single, Pulstar but then hearing the Beatfanatics Balearic Boogie Remix of Let It Happen in 2007 led me backwards to this album and it’s the vocals (of one Robert Fitoussi) on both tracks that seem to make the difference for me. 01.42.05 STEVIE WONDER – Pastime Paradise * – Songs In The Key Of Life, 2LP – Tamla Motown – 1976 I bought the album at the time but my youthful ignorance didn’t fully take in the scale of Stevie’s accomplishment and looking now at the full tracklisting there were only six tracks I regularly played, with Pastime Paradise being one of them. The American buyers who took Songs… to No 1 in the Billboard album charts will have delved deeper. 01.45.21 KOICHI OZAKI – Petal Of The Cherry Blossom * – Novo Tempo / Koichi Ozaki: Novo Tempo Meets Eurasian Suite Vol. 2, 12″ – Eurasian Suite – 2004 If I could dip into the whole of the soul/(acid)jazz/beats etc etc world of the Japanese from the ’90s onwards there’d be a basket full of great tunes I’ve yet to hear. So little time… 01.51.22 KEITH JARRETT (TRIO) – Dancing – Changeless, LP – ECM Records – 1989 ‘Original material which is deeply subversive (though also respectfully aware) of the whole tradition of jazz as a system of improvisation on ‘the changes’… On Changeless, there are no chord progressions at all; the trio improvises each section in a single key, somewhat in the manner of an Indian raga‘. – The Penguin Guide to Jazz. ‘These pieces – not written, rehearsed, thought out, sketched, or arranged – ‘came up’ in the middle of four distinctly different concerts. Process is swifter and more accurate than thought.‘ – Keith Jarrett’s album liner notes (edited). Show 155 arrives Sept 6.

Then we shift to Popcorn, where we break down two films we think deserve a spot on your watchlist. We start with Leo's suggestion, American Gangster (2007), starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe and directed by Ridley Scott. After that, we turn to Tom's selection, Fat City (1972), featuring Stacey Keach and Jeff Bridges under the direction of John Huston.Next Show's Films: • Tom's Pick: Grave of the Fireflies (1988)• Leo's Pick: Victory (1981)
Episode OverviewWith freestone trout streams across the Southeast pushing into the upper 60s and low 70s by mid-morning, serious anglers need a plan for beating the summer heat. On this Casting Angles installment of The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash and Master Casting Instructor Mac Brown of Mac Brown Fly Fish and Fly Fishing Guide School in Bryson City, North Carolina, break down how to keep catching trout — or productively wait it out — when peak summer temperatures push freestone fishing to its limits.Mac and Marvin agree that the dog days of summer call for a shift in strategy rather than a day off the water. The conversation centers on East Tennessee's Watauga and South Holston tailwaters along with Western North Carolina's Nantahala, all three of which hold cold water for much of the day, plus the Clinch River below Norris Dam and the deep, cold Fontana Dam tailwater. By contrast, the Tuckasegee ("the Tuck") is a tailwater that doesn't run nearly as cold as the others, since its dam doesn't create enough head to keep the release chilled. The pair walk through the early-morning window — roughly daylight to 9:30 or 10 a.m. — as the best bet for active trout before heat shuts things down, and they recommend checking USGS gauges and the TroutRoutes app to confirm flows and water temperatures before heading out. When conditions simply aren't fishable, Mac and Marvin suggest reinvesting that time in casting practice or fly tying rather than forcing a trip. The episode closes with a teaser for Mac's upcoming fall casting schools, with full details and dates available at macbrownflyfish.com.Key TakeawaysHow to identify which regional tailwaters — the Watauga, South Holston, Clinch and Fontana releases — hold consistently cold, fishable water when freestone streams push past 69–70°F by mid-morning.Why fish in bigger bodies of water retreat to deeper, cooler holds as afternoon temperatures climb, making them much harder to reach with a fly.When to fish the early-morning window, roughly daylight to 9:30 or 10 a.m., for the best shot at active trout before the summer heat shuts down the bite.How to use USGS gauges and the TroutRoutes app to check release schedules and water temperatures before committing to a trip.Why elevation alone doesn't guarantee cold water, since even streams near 6,700–6,800 feet can push toward 70°F by mid-morning in peak summer heat.When to redirect fishing time toward casting practice or fly tying rather than forcing a trip into conditions that are too warm to fish well.Techniques & Gear CoveredThe core strategy discussed is prioritizing tailwaters over freestones during peak summer heat, since dam-regulated flows on rivers like the Watauga and South Holston hold consistently cold water while freestone streams climb toward 70°F by mid-morning regardless of elevation. Mac and Marvin recommend checking USGS stream gauges alongside the TroutRoutes app, a podcast sponsor (Use ARTFLY20 for 20% off), to review flow schedules and available water-temperature data before planning a trip. They also frame the early-morning window, from daylight until roughly 9:30 or 10 a.m., as the most productive stretch before warming water pushes safe fishing out of range. For anglers boxed in by travel or work schedules that don't line up with cooler weather, the hosts suggest using the downtime productively — working on casting fundamentals on a soccer field or similar open space, or tying flies indoors until conditions improve.Locations & SpeciesThe conversation centers on East Tennessee's two primary trout tailwaters, the Watauga and South Holston, along with the Nantahala in Western North Carolina — all three of which stay cold thanks to dam releases even as regional air temperatures spike. Mac also points to the Clinch River below Norris Dam in Tennessee — including a weir section that was fishing well as of a recent report — and to Fontana Dam's tailwater, where depth of nearly 470 feet keeps discharge in the low 50s even at the height of summer. By contrast, the Tuckasegee ("the Tuck") is a tailwater in Mac's home area that doesn't run nearly as cold, since its dam doesn't create enough head to chill the release the way the others do. Across all of these waters the target species is trout, with the guidance shaped entirely around peak summer heat: freestone streams in the region are pushing toward 69–70°F by 10 a.m. even at elevations of 6,700–6,800 feet, making the cold, stable tailwaters the more reliable option through the hottest stretch of the season.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhy is trout fishing difficult during peak summer heat?As water temperatures climb through the day, trout in bigger bodies of water move deeper to find cooler conditions, which makes them much harder to reach with a fly. Even high-elevation freestone streams in the region can push toward 69–70°F by mid-morning, which is enough to shut down activity. Trout mortality rises significantly as water temperatures rise into the upper 60s making catch and release angling unethical. The trout will usually die post release.What time of day should anglers target trout streams during hot summer weather?The best window is early morning, roughly from daylight until 9:30 or 10 a.m., before water temperatures climb into the range that suppresses feeding activity and endangers trout post release. After that window closes, Mac and Marvin suggest shifting plans rather than fishing through the heat of the day.How can anglers check water conditions before a summer fishing trip?Marvin recommends checking release schedules and water temperatures using USGS stream gauges, along with the TroutRoutes app, which provides flow data and, on streams equipped with temperature gauges, water-temperature readings as well.Which tailwaters stay fishable through peak summer heat in this region?East Tennessee's Watauga and South Holston rivers hold cold water for much of the day. The Clinch River below Norris Dam and the Fontana Dam tailwater in Western North Carolina, which runs in the low 50s even in summer due to the dam's nearly 470-foot depth, are two other reliable cold-water options mentioned in the episode.What should anglers do when conditions are too hot to fish safely and effectively?Rather than forcing a trip into unproductive and unsafe heat, Mac and Marvin suggest using that time to work on casting fundamentals or to tie flies indoors, and to wait for a seasonal cool-down, which typically arrives as August progresses.Related ContentS8, Ep 50 - Navigating Summer Waters: Ellis Ward on Trout, Musky and the Art of the Evening BiteS8, Ep 49 - Mastering the Cast: Mac Brown's Insights on Shooting LineS8, Ep 45 - Casting Fundamentals: Mac Brown on the Art of the Reach MendS8, Ep 41 - Offbeat Seasons and Terrestrial Tactics: Mac Brown's Fishing StrategiesS8, Ep 48 - Summer Heat Strategies: Captain Brian Shumaker's Smallmouth TipsView All Casting Angles Episodes with Mac BrownConnect with Our GuestFollow Mac on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our

Graeme Revell in conversation with David Eastaugh Soundtrack composer, experimental musician and author. Born in Auckland, New Zealand on 23 October 1955. Moved to Australia where he founded the legendary industrial band SPK in 1978. After 3 records of extreme noise assaults and controversial subjects, SPK turned toward synth-pop, consisting of just Revell and his then wife Sinan Leong. In the mid 1980s Revell started the Musique Brut label to release some solo recordings in the fields of ambient and experimental music. He then evolved into composing soundtracks for a lot of mid and high-budget Hollywood productions, becoming very succesful at it.
Ti sei mai chiesto da dove venga il tuo cognome? E ti è mai capitato di imbatterti in un cognome italiano e di pensare: "Ma perché qualcuno dovrebbe chiamarsi così?". Dietro ogni cognome si nasconde una piccola storia fatta di mestieri, luoghi, caratteristiche fisiche e perfino auguri. Scopriamo insieme da dove vengono i cognomi italiani e perché alcuni sono davvero curiosi. Da Dove Vengono i Cognomi Italiani e Perché Alcuni Sono così Strani? I cognomi italiani sono come piccoli libri di storia: raccontano da dove venivano i nostri antenati, che lavoro facevano e perfino com'erano fatti fisicamente. Imparare a "leggerli" è anche un ottimo modo per arricchire il vocabolario con nomi di mestieri, aggettivi e nomi di luoghi. Quando Sono Nati i Cognomi in Italia? I cognomi, in Italia, sono diventati obbligatori e ufficiali solo in epoca relativamente recente. Fu il Concilio di Trento, nel 1564, a stabilire che le parrocchie dovessero tenere un registro dei battesimi con nome e cognome. Lo scopo principale era pratico: evitare i matrimoni tra parenti. Prima di allora, una persona era semplicemente "Giovanni", e se in paese c'erano dieci Giovanni ci si arrangiava con i soprannomi. L'usanza del cognome esisteva comunque già da prima, soprattutto tra le famiglie nobili e i commercianti, e nelle campagne ci furono famiglie senza un vero cognome fisso addirittura fino all'Ottocento. Proprio dai soprannomi nasce gran parte dei cognomi italiani. Le Quattro Grandi Categorie dei Cognomi Italiani La maggior parte dei cognomi italiani deriva da quattro grandi categorie. Vediamole una per una, con tanti esempi pratici. 1. Cognomi che Derivano da un Nome di Persona (Patronimici) Sono cognomi che indicavano "il figlio di…". Si chiamano patronimici quando si riferiscono al padre, e matronimici (molto più rari) quando si riferiscono alla madre. L'esempio più chiaro è Di Stefano, cioè "(il figlio) di Stefano". Allo stesso modo abbiamo De Angelis, D'Antonio, Di Marco. Come esempio di matronimico possiamo citare De Maria o Di Maria, costruiti su un nome femminile. A volte la preposizione è scomparsa e il nome è rimasto da solo, magari al plurale: Martini, Bernardi, Mariani. Quella "-i" finale spesso significa proprio "appartenente alla famiglia di…". C'è un dettaglio bellissimo per chi studia l'italiano: tantissimi di questi cognomi nascono da un nome alterato, cioè modificato con un suffisso. Da "Giovanni" non nasce solo Giovannini, ma anche Nannini, Vanni, Giannetti. La particella Di all'inizio di tanti cognomi (Di Marco, Di Paolo, Di Pietro) è particolarmente diffusa in regioni come l'Abruzzo. Per approfondire questo meccanismo linguistico, puoi leggere la guida sugli alterati in italiano, tra diminutivi e accrescitivi. 2. Cognomi che Derivano da un Mestiere Questa categoria è perfetta per imparare vocabolario, perché molti cognomi raccontano semplicemente che lavoro facevano i nostri antenati. Per approfondire il lessico del lavoro, puoi consultare la guida sui mestieri e le professioni in italiano. CognomeMestiere d'origineFerrari, Ferraro, Fabbri, FabbroFabbro (chi lavora il ferro)PastoreChi si occupa delle pecoreSarti, SartoriSarto (chi cuce i vestiti)BarbieriChi taglia barba e capelliMolinari, Munari, MunaroMugnaio (chi lavora al mulino)VaccaroChi alleva le vacche Tra i cognomi di mestiere, quello legato al fabbro è il più diffuso in assoluto. Fabbri e Fabbro (dal latino faber) sono diffusissimi in Emilia-Romagna e in Friuli. Una curiosità: spesso uno stesso mestiere ha generato cognomi diversi a seconda della regione, perché c'era la forma in dialetto e quella in italiano. Il mugnaio, per esempio, in alcune zone del Nord è diventato Munari o Munaro. 3. Cognomi che Derivano da una Caratteristica Fisica o del Carattere Qui gli italiani del passato sono stati molto sinceri: tantissimi cognomi descrivevano com'era fatta una persona. Erano una specie di "etichetta", a volte affettuosa, a volte un po' ironica, data dal paese. Per ampliare il vocabolario, puoi consultare la guida su come descrivere qualcuno in italiano. CognomeCaratteristicaRossiCapelli rossi (il cognome più diffuso d'Italia)BianchiCapelli bianchi o pelle chiaraBassi, BassoPersona bassaLongo, LungoPersona altaMoretti, BrunoPelle o capelli scuriRicciCapelli ricciGrassiPersona robustaMagroPersona magra Non tutti i cognomi di questa categoria descrivevano l'aspetto fisico: alcuni raccontavano il carattere o un comportamento. Chi era sempre allegro diventava Allegri, chi era forte e robusto Forte o Forti, chi era gentile Gentile. Ricevere un cognome così, in fondo, era anche un piccolo complimento. Per arricchire il lessico, puoi leggere la guida sugli aggettivi italiani per descrivere il carattere e la personalità. 4. Cognomi che Derivano da un Luogo di Origine L'ultima grande categoria comprende i cognomi che indicano da dove veniva una persona. Se un uomo arrivava da un altro paese, gli abitanti lo identificavano proprio così. Questi cognomi si chiamano anche toponimici, dal greco tópos, che significa "luogo". Per ripassare la geografia italiana, puoi consultare la guida sulle regioni e i capoluoghi d'Italia. Da qui nascono cognomi come Romano (da Roma), Lombardo e Lombardi (dalla Lombardia), Calabrese (dalla Calabria), Pugliese (dalla Puglia), e perfino Messina o Genova dai nomi delle città. C'è poi una sottocategoria legata non a una città, ma a un elemento del paesaggio. Chi viveva vicino a una fontana diventava Fontana, vicino a una valle Valle o Della Valle, su una collina Collina, vicino al mare Costa o Marina. Il cognome diventava così una piccola fotografia del posto in cui si abitava. I Cognomi Italiani più Strani e Particolari In Italia esistono davvero dei cognomi che fanno sorridere. Dietro ognuno si nasconde una storia sorprendente, a volte divertente e a volte commovente. I Soprannomi Diventati Cognomi Gli italiani del passato amavano descrivere le persone con espressioni intere. Così troviamo Bevilacqua ("bevi l'acqua") e Tagliaferro ("taglia il ferro", probabilmente dato a qualcuno molto forte). I Cognomi Augurali Sono nomi che esprimevano un augurio, un ringraziamento o uno scongiuro per il neonato. Ecco perché esistono cognomi come Benvenuti (perché il bambino era benvenuto) e Bonaventura ("buona ventura", cioè buona fortuna). Un esempio particolare è Bencivenga: tipico della zona di Napoli e Caserta, era un nome-augurio col senso di "che ci venga del bene". C'è anche Tornincasa, cioè "torna in casa", un nome commovente che veniva dato a un figlio nato dopo la morte di un altro figlio, come a dire "bentornato in famiglia". I Cognomi di Origine Religiosa Molto diffusi, soprattutto al Sud, riprendevano feste, preghiere o simboli della tradizione cristiana. Troviamo quindi Santoro (dal latino sanctorum, spesso legato a chi nasceva nel giorno di Tutti i Santi), Natale (per chi nasceva il giorno di Natale) e De Angelis ("degli angeli"). Molti di questi cognomi sono legati alle festività: per scoprirle meglio, puoi leggere la guida sul Natale italiano e le sue tradizioni. I Cognomi dei Bambini Abbandonati C'è un capitolo speciale, un po' triste ma molto importante: i cognomi dati ai bambini abbandonati. In passato, i neonati lasciati negli istituti di carità ricevevano cognomi "inventati". Il più famoso è Esposito, che viene dal latino expositus, cioè "esposto": indicava il bambino "esposto" alla pubblica assistenza, lasciato spesso nella cosiddetta "ruota degli esposti". Non a caso oggi Esposito è il cognome più diffuso in Campania, in particolare a Napoli. Con lo stesso significato troviamo Proietti, tipico di Lazio e Umbria. Ci sono poi cognomi-augurio commoventi dati ai trovatelli, come Diotallevi ("Dio ti allevi", cioè "che Dio ti faccia crescere"), Diotaiuti ("Dio ti aiuti") e Degli Innocenti, diffuso in Toscana, legato all'Ospedale degli Innocenti di Firenze. C'è perfino Colombo, diffuso a Milano e in Lombardia, legato anch'esso in molti casi all'accoglienza dei trovatelli, con riferimento alla colomba, simbolo cristiano. Esiste Perfino un Museo del Cognome Un'ultima curiosità: esiste davvero un Museo del Cognome. Si trova a Padula, in Campania, ed è interamente dedicato alla storia e all'origine dei cognomi italiani. Per altre scoperte di questo tipo, puoi consultare la guida sulle curiosità sull'Italia. Tabella Riassuntiva delle Categorie Ecco una tabella che riassume le principali categorie dei cognomi italiani con qualche esempio.

Il cognome più diffuso in tutta Italia è Rossi, che deriva probabilmente dal colore dei capelli.

I cognomi sono diventati ufficiali e obbligatori con il Concilio di Trento nel 1564, quando si stabilì che le parrocchie dovessero registrare i battesimi con nome e cognome.

Gianni Fontana"Il libraio di Via Po"Neos Edizioniwww.neosedizioni.itSei misteri, sei storie, un libraio appassionato di storie insolite “Gli unici viaggi che valgono veramente la pena, sono quelli nelle storie degli uomini”.Una libreria sotto i portici di Torino, un libraio sarcastico e disincantato, storie e misteri da inseguire nei dettagli delle parole sotto l'egida delle grandi opere letterarie che vegliano dagli scaffali.Eccentrico e dal carattere ruvido, Paolo Alibrandi gestisce la sua storica libreria in via Po come un avamposto di resistenza civile in cui custodire il valore delle parole nel rispetto del lettore. E quando certe “storie insolite” arrivano sotto forma di frasi scolpite, sussurrate, scritte o dimenticate, allora, quasi come un detective, si fa coinvolgere da ciò che si nasconde nelle pieghe delle parole, nei silenzi, nei dettagli trascurati, perché sa che nulla è mai come appare e dentro una parola se ne può nascondere un'altra.«Tra le sue pagine si possono riconoscere ambienti e situazioni tipicamente sabaudi, quei caffè dove le chiacchiere scorrono lente ma le menti corrono invece veloci. I muri e i colori di una città misteriosa nella quale nulla è mai come appare a prima vista e per coglierne l'essenza è necessario scavare a fondo, prestando attenzione ai dettagli. L'autore ha imparato a conoscere e giocare con queste pieghe della città e lo ostenta con malcelata fierezza nel libro» (Stefano Tallia).Cosa potrebbero significare alcune parole sussurrate in punto di morte sul letto di un ospedale? Le scuse lasciate roteare sullo schermo di un computer per giustificare un fallimento finanziario bastano a spiegare come sono andate veramente le cose? Un aggettivo imposto su una lapide smentisce o conferma il presunto tradimento di una donna da tutti desiderata? La frase ascoltata al telefono era assertiva, interrogativa o esclamativa? Ci si può vendicare invitando a cena tre nipoti per lasciare a ciascuna l'identica eredità accompagnata dalla stessa scritta? In un elenco di nomi di morti, un cognome si può trasformare in un altro?Sei racconti – interpretabili anche come capitoli di un'unica storia – alternano dialoghi affilati, osservazioni taglienti, descrizioni da flâneur e citazioni intriganti. Una prosa nitida, che mescola la lentezza riflessiva dell'indagine agli scarti improvvisi delle rivelazioni. Gianni Fontana è nato in provincia di Torino nel 1951. Laureato in Psicologia Sociale, ha insegnato nei corsi di lingua italiana per stranieri fino ai primi anni Novanta. Ha svolto attività giornalistica come redattore delle riviste nazionali Studi e Ricerche e Percorsi (1987-1991); coordinatore editoriale per i settimanali Rivoli 15, Gazzetta di Venaria, Corriere di Collegno e di Grugliasco (1992-1994); direttore responsabile del mensile Oltre e del periodico Il Giornale del Comune (1994-2003). Ha gestito inoltre gli uffici stampa per alcune società dell'area metropolitana. Nel 2006 con il racconto Andata e ritorno si è classificato al primo posto al concorso “Parole in corsa” organizzato dal Gruppo Trasporti Torinesi. Ha pubblicato racconti e romanzi, tra cui Figli di Vanni (con Maurizio Blini), Golem Edizioni, 2015.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
Hai mai visitato Roma? Se sì, probabilmente hai visto il Colosseo, Fontana di Trevi, Piazza di Spagna... Luoghi meravigliosi, certamente. Ma ti sei mai chiesto: come vivono davvero i romani? Dove abitano? Cosa fanno la sera? Quali problemi affrontano ogni giorno? Scopriamo insieme la Roma vera, quella che i turisti di solito non vedono. ROMA Autentica: Scopri Dove Abitano e Come Vivono i Veri Romani Roma Nord e Roma Sud: Due Mondi Diversi Come tutte le grandi città, anche Roma ha diverse "anime". La divisione principale che fanno i romani è tra Roma Nord e Roma Sud. Ma cosa significa esattamente? Roma Nord: l'Eleganza dei Parioli Roma Nord è considerata la parte più elegante della città, quella dove vivono le persone più ricche, più "benestanti" come si dice in italiano. Il quartiere simbolo di questa zona si chiama Parioli, e da questo nome è nata un'espressione molto usata a Roma: "pariolino". Se qualcuno ti dice che sei un pariolino, significa che ti vesti in modo molto elegante, curato, probabilmente con vestiti di marca. È uno stereotipo, certamente, ma i romani lo usano molto spesso. Roma Sud: l'Anima Popolare Roma Sud, invece, è tutta un'altra storia. Qui l'atmosfera è più popolare, più rilassata, più "di strada". Le persone si vestono in modo più casual e lo stile è completamente diverso. Chi segue questo stile viene chiamato "boro" o "coatto". Anche questa è un'etichetta, ovviamente, e non sempre è usata in senso positivo. Tuttavia, è importante non generalizzare. Come si dice in italiano, "non bisogna fare di tutta l'erba un fascio". Questa espressione significa che non si possono mettere tutti nello stesso gruppo. Non tutti quelli che vivono a Roma Nord sono pariolini eleganti, e non tutti quelli che vivono a Roma Sud sono coatti. La realtà è sempre più complessa degli stereotipi. Dove Vivono Davvero i Romani? Ecco una cosa che sorprende molti turisti: i romani non vivono a Trastevere. E neanche vicino al Colosseo o a Piazza Navona. Devi sapere che Roma è una città enorme. Ha 35 quartieri e circa 150 zone diverse. La popolazione? Quasi 3 milioni di persone. E la maggior parte di queste persone vive nelle zone periferiche, cioè lontano dal centro storico. Il motivo è semplice: il centro è bellissimo, certo, ma è anche carissimo. Affittare un appartamento vicino al Pantheon costa tantissimo. E poi il centro è sempre pieno di turisti, il che può essere stancante per chi ci vive. Quindi i romani preferiscono abitare in quartieri come Centocelle, Tuscolano, Monteverde, Ostia, Primavalle o Tor Bella Monaca. Probabilmente non hai mai sentito questi nomi. Ecco, questa è la Roma vera, quella dove la gente vive, lavora, fa la spesa, porta i bambini a scuola. I Problemi di Tutti i Giorni Roma è bella, questo è innegabile. Ma vivere a Roma non è sempre facile. Ci sono alcuni problemi che i romani affrontano ogni giorno. Il Traffico Il primo grande problema è il traffico. Roma è nota per il traffico intenso. Spostarsi in macchina può essere un vero incubo, soprattutto nelle ore di punta, cioè la mattina quando tutti vanno a lavorare e la sera quando tutti tornano a casa. Molti romani passano più di un'ora al giorno bloccati nel traffico. Un'ora per andare al lavoro, un'ora per tornare. Ogni giorno. Le Buche E poi ci sono le buche. Se noleggi una macchina quando visiti la città, fai molta attenzione: le strade romane sono piene di buche. E alcune sono così grandi che i romani le chiamano "voragini", cioè buchi enormi dove potresti quasi cadere dentro con tutta la macchina. La cosa interessante è che i romani ormai affrontano il problema con ironia. Su Internet si trovano tantissimi meme su questo argomento. Qualcuno ha persino creato immagini con l'intelligenza artificiale dove le buche diventano piscine. L'ironia è l'arma preferita dei romani. I Trasporti Pubblici Un altro problema sono i trasporti pubblici. La metropolitana di Roma ha solo 3 linee: la A, la B e la C. Sono poche per una città così grande. Per fare un confronto, Milano ne ha 5, Londra ne ha 11, Parigi ne ha 16. Gli autobus esistono, certo, ma spesso sono in ritardo o troppo pieni. Tuttavia, negli ultimi anni, soprattutto con il Giubileo del 2025, la situazione sta migliorando. Il Problema dei Rifiuti Infine c'è il problema dei rifiuti. A volte i cassonetti della spazzatura sono così pieni che i rifiuti restano per strada per giorni. D'estate, con il caldo, la situazione diventa ancora peggiore. È un problema serio che le amministrazioni stanno cercando di risolvere, ma non è facile gestire i rifiuti di 3 milioni di persone. Perché non ci Sono Grattacieli a Roma? Una cosa che molti turisti notano è che a Roma non ci sono grattacieli. Almeno non nel centro storico. Come mai? Il motivo è molto semplice: costruire edifici molto alti rovinerebbe il panorama storico della città. Roma ha monumenti di 2000 anni. Se costruissero un grattacielo moderno vicino al Colosseo, sarebbe inappropriato. Il punto più alto del centro storico è la cupola della Basilica di San Pietro, che raggiunge 136 metri. E le regole urbanistiche dicono che nessun edificio può essere più alto di così nel centro. Se vuoi vedere Roma dall'alto, puoi andare in due posti bellissimi: il Gianicolo e il Giardino degli Aranci. Sono due punti panoramici meravigliosi e molto romantici. Da lì puoi vedere tutta la città. I grattacieli a Roma esistono, ma solo nella zona dell'EUR. È un quartiere molto moderno, abbastanza lontano dal centro, pieno di uffici e palazzi alti. Il grattacielo più alto si chiama Eurosky e raggiunge 155 metri. Ma la maggior parte dei turisti non va mai a vederlo. Quanto Costa Vivere a Roma? Se stai pensando di trasferirti a Roma, questa parte ti interesserà molto. Gli Affitti Il costo cambia tantissimo a seconda della zona. Se vuoi vivere nel centro storico, preparati a spendere molto: un piccolo appartamento può costare anche 1.500 o 2.000 euro al mese. Per questo motivo, la maggior parte delle persone vive nelle zone periferiche, dove si può trovare qualcosa di decente a partire da 700-900 euro. Molti studenti e giovani lavoratori scelgono di condividere l'appartamento con altre persone per dividere le spese. Mangiare Fuori Anche qui dipende molto da dove vai. Un caffè al bancone costa circa 1 euro o 1 euro e 20. Ma attenzione: se ti siedi al tavolo in una zona turistica, lo stesso caffè può arrivare a costare 3 o 4 euro. Una pizza margherita costa circa 7-10 euro. Una cena completa in una trattoria tradizionale costa tra i 20 e i 35 euro a persona. CosaPrezzo IndicativoCaffè al bancone1,00 - 1,20 €Caffè al tavolo (zona turistica)3,00 - 4,00 €Pizza margherita7,00 - 10,00 €Cena completa in trattoria20,00 - 35,00 €Affitto centro storico1.500 - 2.000 €/meseAffitto periferia700 - 900 €/mese Un consiglio da insider: allontanati dalle zone turistiche. Appena ti allontani dal centro, i prezzi scendono molto e il cibo diventa anche più buono e autentico. E se vedi un bar o un ristorante pieno di romani, entra lì senza pensarci due volte. I romani sanno dove si mangia bene e si spende poco. Le Abitudini dei Romani I romani hanno alcune abitudini che potrebbero sorprenderti. La Pausa Pranzo Una cosa che stupisce molto gli stranieri è la pausa pranzo. Se vieni a Roma e alle 14:00 trovi un negozio chiuso, non preoccuparti: è normale. Molti negozi e attività chiudono dalle 13:00 alle 15:30 o anche alle 16:00. I romani prendono il pranzo con calma, e molti tornano a casa per mangiare con la famiglia. Il Rituale del Caffè Il caffè merita un discorso a parte. Dimentica l'idea di sederti con il computer a sorseggiare un cappuccino per un'ora come si fa da Starbucks. A Roma il caffè si beve al bancone, in piedi, in massimo due minuti. Entri nel bar, ordini, bevi, paghi, esci. È un rituale velocissimo ma sacro. Certo, puoi anche sederti al tavolo, nessuno ti dirà niente. Ma pagherai di più e i romani ti guarderanno un po' straniti. L'Aperitivo Un'altra abitudine molto italiana, e molto romana, è l'aperitivo. Verso le 18:00 o le 19:00, i romani escono a prendere un drink con gli amici. Di solito uno spritz, un Negroni o un Campari, accompagnato da stuzzichini, cioè piccole cose da mangiare come olive, patatine, piccoli panini. È un momento sociale importante, un modo per rilassarsi dopo il lavoro e chiacchierare con gli amici. La Cena Tardi e la Passeggiata Dimenticati di cenare alle 18:00 come si fa in altri paesi. I romani cenano tardi, molto tardi. Le 20:30 sono considerate presto. Molte persone cenano alle 21:00 o anche più tardi. I ristoranti spesso aprono per cena solo dalle 19:30, e prima di quell'ora li troverai chiusi. Dopo cena, soprattutto d'estate, c'è un'altra tradizione molto italiana: la passeggiata. I romani amano camminare per le strade dopo aver mangiato, magari mangiando un gelato. È un modo per digerire, socializzare, godersi la città quando fa più fresco. Se visiti Roma d'estate, vedrai le strade piene di gente che passeggia anche alle 23:00. Dove Escono i Romani la Sera? I turisti vanno tutti a Trastevere per la vita notturna. Ma i romani? Preferiscono altri posti. San Lorenzo San Lorenzo è il quartiere universitario. È pieno di studenti, quindi trovi locali economici, birrerie, pizzerie a buon prezzo. L'atmosfera è giovane, alternativa e molto vivace. Se sei uno studente, questo è il posto ideale per te. Pigneto Pigneto è un quartiere che è diventato molto di moda negli ultimi anni. È il posto preferito dai romani più "hipster", cioè quelli a cui piacciono le cose alternative e vintage. Qui trovi murales colorati sui muri, locali con arredamento retrò e cocktail bar molto curati. Testaccio Testaccio è un quartiere storico e popolare, molto amato dai romani....
佛羅倫斯英迪格酒店外觀走的是極度低調路線,就藏在新聖母瑪利亞火車站旁的普通街道上,第一眼看到甚至會懷疑:這就是要價不菲的精品飯店?再加上網路評價呈現兩極——部分住客稱讚設計感與地段,但也有人反映服務一致性不足、隔音與冷氣偶有問題,讓人不免遲疑:這家飯店,究竟是名副其實,還是靠品牌光環撐場?身為斤斤計較每一分飯店點數的旅遊達人,寶可孟當然要先問:這票房價,能用IHG點數換嗎?答案是:值得。踏入大廳的一抹鮮紅、繁花天花板壁紙,設計師將波波里花園的盛開繁花與當地「Oricello」染料文化融入空間,每個跳色細節都是一則佛羅倫斯故事。這,才是IHG連鎖酒店品牌旗下的「英迪格」鄰里靈魂哲學的精髓。這家飯店距新聖母瑪利亞車站步行僅約5分鐘,拖著旅行箱過去也不會太遠,距離大教堂與舊橋也在10分鐘步行圈內,地理位置超好!令人意外的是,這家酒店居然有「戶外花園泳池」,超級大加分!館內的餐廳更是融合托斯卡尼傳統與現代風格,加上每週DJ黑膠音樂夜等等,住在這裡不只是落腳,而是直接成為佛羅倫斯生活的一部分。對於懂得用IHG One Rewards點數換房的旅人,這裡是文藝復興之城裡,CP 值最高的精品選擇之一。完整心得請參考本集節目。➤來寶可孟YouTube頻道上收聽節目:https://pokem.me/PokemYTPodcast➤每月45元支持寶可孟創作更多優質影片|https://pokem.me/JoinPokemYT--➤2025義大利自由行(01)自由行注意事項分享: https://pokem.me/3HCJBA9➤2025義大利自由行(02)威尼斯景點心得分享:https://pokem.me/4kYfS3i➤2025義大利自由行(03)羅馬遊記&景點分享:https://pokem.me/3Gsi1VU➤2025義大利自由行(04)羅馬Rome 羅馬競技場 Colosseo:https://pokem.me/3Z2vIR0➤2025義大利自由行(05)特雷維噴泉Fontana di Trevi:https://pokem.me/4uLz9cN加入會員,支持節目: https://pokemcard.firstory.io/join留言告訴我你對這一集的想法: https://open.firstory.me/user/ckdpsqfmxifcf0862q6efk1qa/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting
When most people think about the Smoky Mountains, they picture Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. We've spent time in both, but lately we've found ourselves drawn to places that move at a different pace.

On Monday, Philadelphia Union II took on Côte d'Ivoire at Subaru Park in the African nation's final tune-up before the start of its World Cup campaign. Philadelphia Union II welcomed Cavan Sullivan back to the second team for the first time since 2025. The match also saw former Union II players and current college standouts Jojo Elliott (Delaware), Henry Bernstein (Maryland), Gavin Wetsel (Pittsburgh), and Daniel Krueger (Wake Forest) return to the fold. Most notably, however, the match marked the return of former Philadelphia Union midfielder Anthony Fontana to Subaru Park for the first time since 2021, when the Union lost 2–1 to NYCFC in the Eastern Conference Final. Todd and José are joined by Anthony Fontana to discuss Jim Curtin to Austin FC, Fontana's experience training with Union II over the past few weeks, playing in his first match at Subaru Park since 2021, what he hopes his next move is in his career, and the 2026 World Cup.

En 2023, lors d'une vente aux enchères organisée au château d'Artigny en Touraine, un petit tableau familial estimé à 80 000 euros atteint le prix record de 1,25 million d'euros. L'œuvre intrigue immédiatement : elle représente un étrange enfant couvert de poils, vêtu comme un noble du XVIe siècle. Derrière ce portrait se cache l'histoire bouleversante de Petrus Gonsalvus, un enfant originaire des Canaries atteint d'hypertrichose, une maladie génétique rare provoquant une pilosité extrême. Offert enfant au roi Henri II de France, Petrus devient une curiosité de cour avant d'être protégé et éduqué parmi les nobles. Son destin extraordinaire, son mariage avec une jeune femme de la cour et l'histoire de leur famille auraient inspiré le célèbre conte de La Belle et la Bête. Peint par la célèbre artiste italienne Lavinia Fontana, le tableau raconte bien plus qu'un mystère artistique : il témoigne du regard porté sur la différence, entre fascination, cruauté et humanité. Une enquête captivante entre art, histoire et légende.

This week on Peanuts and Popcorn, the peanuts are downright rotten as both the Cubs and Tigers continue to spiral, though Pete Crow‑Armstrong at least supplied a few sparks along the way.In Popcorn, we've got two terrific films on deck. We start with Tom's pick, Henri‑Georges Clouzot's The Wages of Fear (1953), the white‑knuckle thriller that became the blueprint for decades of action cinema.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.5) Los Angeles had one of those days — wild police pursuits, a stolen pickup truck chase from Fontana to Lynwood, a dramatic K-9 takedown, and the 405 Freeway reopening after a deadly police shooting in Playa Vista. Conway breaks down the chaos, the public safety concerns, and his theory on why people drive around L.A. with their windows down — plus the life-saving tips you probably have not heard. Then, we get into election frustration, delayed ballot counting, and the big question everyone is asking: if L.A. is struggling now, how is the city going to handle the World Cup and the Olympics? Also on deck: WeHo Pride, the fear of accidentally ending up on live TV, and whether NBC’s Jonathan Gonzalez is secretly David Vassegh’s doppelgänger.

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 4 (6.5) It was a crazy SoCal day, and Conway breaks down all the chaos — from a wild stolen pickup pursuit that started in Fontana and ended in Lynwood with a dramatic K-9 takedown, to the northbound 405 finally reopening nearly eight hours after police shot and killed a robbery suspect in Playa Vista. Then Conway shares his very L.A. theory on why so many drivers cruise around with their windows down — plus a few survival tips that might actually save your life. The crew also checks in on WeHo Pride Weekend and the awkward question nobody wants to face: what if you are not out and suddenly end up on live TV? Later, Neil Saavedra, The Fork Reporter, calls in from the hospital after bariatric surgery. Conway wrote Neil a song, Neil explains “The Sleeve” and the Da Vinci robot, and Conway gives the whole thing a new name: “Barely Active Surgery.” Plus, Conway pitches his genius new idea, ThankYouNote.com, the crew debates when text conversations should finally end, whether you have to respond to random videos, and Uncle T-Bones drops wedding gift etiquette rules everyone needs to hear.

This week on Peanuts and Popcorn, we open with the Peanuts as we break down the fortunes of two suddenly slumping ballclubs: the Cubs, who can't seem to hold a lead, and the Tigers, who can't seem to find one.Then we pivot to the Popcorn with two electric films. We start with Tom's choice, Martin Scorsese's bruising, operatic epic Gangs of New York (2002). From there, we head to Argentina for Leo's pick, the gripping and elegantly constructed thriller The Secret of Their Eyes (2009), starring Ricardo Darín.Next Show's Films:Tom's Pick: The Wages of Fear (1953)Leo's Pick: Blood Simple (1984)
What does it actually take to build a business you can sell — or simply step away from when life demands it? In this episode of Good Girls Get Rich: The Conversations, Karen Yankovich sits down with business advisor, serial entrepreneur, and reinvention expert Maria Fontana for a real talk on building smarter, not just harder. Maria has owned 11 salons, a cab company, a recycling company, a beauty brand, and more — and now she helps entrepreneurs get their businesses into shape to reinvent, refine, and exit profitably. This conversation is packed with no-fluff strategy and a whole lot of Jersey Girl truth-telling. What you'll learn in this episode: The 3 non-negotiables your business needs before it's sellable Why most women close the doors while men sell the business — and how to change that How to package your intellectual property as a licensable, sellable asset Why simplicity beats complexity in business (every single time) What "exiting" really means — and why it's not always about walking away If you're a woman entrepreneur who wants to build something that's truly an asset in your life, this episode is for you.

This week on Peanuts and Popcorn, the Cubs are still scorching: 10 (11) straight wins, fifteen in a row at Wrigley, and 20 (21) of their last 24 overall. In Detroit, it's a different story — with Skubal injured and Valdéz suspended, the Tigers have slipped under .500, leaving fans wondering what comes next.In Popcorn, we turn to two standouts from the 1970-80's: The Stuntman (1980), starring Peter O'Toole and Barbara Hershey, and Blue Collar (1978), featuring Yaphet Kotto, Richard Pryor, and Harvey Keitel.Next Show's Films: Tom's Pick: Gangs of New York (2002)Leo's Pick: The Secrets in Their Eyes (2009)

August 7, 1973. Fontana, California. A CB radio operator hears a broadcast from a crying boy calling himself “Larry”, who claims that his father is dead and he needs help. Other CB operators throughout the United States start receiving broadcasts from Larry on their radios and he eventually reveals that he was involved in an accident in a remote part of New Mexico and is trapped inside an overturned pick-up truck alongside his father's body. While Larry claims that he is using the truck's CB radio to communicate, he fails to provide many specific details about his location or his background. Even though a massive search operation is launched, no trace of Larry or his truck can be found, leading to speculation that the whole incident was an elaborate hoax, but the mysterious broadcaster known only as “Lost Boy Larry” is never identified. To commemorate our episode's release date of April 1, we will be doing something a little differently from the norm this week by chronicling the saga of “Lost Boy Larry”.

Gene Roddenberry's name is synonymous with Star Trek, but he relied on a team to bring his vision to life. Most of his writers were men with one exception, the trailblazing Dorothy Fontana. Professionally, she went by D.C. Fontana to counter the belief that women couldn't write genres like war, Westerns or sci-fi. Fontana became story editor and wrote some of the most beloved episodes of The Original Series, became the de facto showrunner on The Animated Series, and helped launch The Next Generation. She excelled at building character relationships and alien species – especially Vulcans – and worked closely with Leonard Nimoy to develop Spock. I talk with writers and podcasters Jarrah Hodge, Ian Spelling, Brian Drew and Laurie Ulster about how Fontana quietly shaped a franchise and influenced generations of fans through Star Trek's 60th anniversary.
