Podcasts about Italian

A London gravedigger spent two years quietly digging up the dead by day and selling their bodies, teeth, and severed limbs to hospitals by night — with a 14-year-old girl holding the basket.HEAR THE NEW SONG FOR THIS EPISODE! https://youtu.be/7_uVLP_0YUM *** For the final story in this podcast episode, "Knights, Dragons, and Dino DNA"... “DINOSAUR” is a pop-punk thought experiment about ancient monsters, biblical beasts, and the uncomfortable possibility that some things might not be as settled as we're told. From Behemoth to Leviathan to a certain long-necked lake resident, the song asks a simple question: if it looks like a dinosaur, sounds like a dinosaur, and terrifies everyone like a dinosaur… what exactly are we waiting for? It's a raised eyebrow to long-held beliefs set to power chords. (Interpret responsibly.)IN THIS EPISODE: The Phaistos Disc was discovered in 1903, by Italian archaeologists in southern Crete. Since then the disc has remained a mystery as no one has been able to decipher the writings upon it, nor who made the object, what was it used for, and even if it's a genuine archaeological discovery or a clever fake. (The Phaistos Disc) *** Usually you learn that a place is haunted simply because people say it is. It's common knowledge around the town or neighborhood… but when the government of your country says a place is haunted, you'd better danged well listen. Such is the case with India's Bhangarh Fort. (Bhangarh Fort – The Most Haunted Place in India) *** At the end of 1894 French army captain Alfred Dreyfus, a graduate of the École Polytechnique, and a Jew of Alsatian origin, was accused of handing secret documents to the Imperial German military. After a closed trial, he was found guilty of treason and sentenced to life imprisonment on the dreaded Devil's Island. But that's just the beginning of the story that later became known as The Dreyfus Affair. (The Dreyfus Affair) *** We've all heard of the power of the mind – it's been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of pain, some well-trained individuals can use their mind to slow their rate of respiration, to bring their heartbeat down to almost nothing with no long-term ill effects… but what about controlling things outside of your own body? Is the mind that powerful? Some believe so – and they also believe it's one possible explanation for hauntings. (The Wild PK of the Poltergeist) *** Is it possible that our history books are wrong and that humans actually did walk with dinosaurs? It might not be as far-fetched as it sounds, especially when you look at tales of knights, dragons, and T-Rex DNA. (Knights, Dragons, and Dino DNA) *** We'll have a short tale about Joseph Naples… who chose the macabre career of being a grave digger… but only because it made it easier for him to be a grave robber… and a body snatcher.

On the night of November 11, 1940, the HMS Illustrious launched two waves of Swordfish torpedo bombers against the Italian fleet anchored at Taranto. Despite losing formation in the clouds and facing intense anti-aircraft fire, the British pilots pressed home their attacks against the Italian battleships. When the smoke cleared, three battleships—the Littorio, Conti di Cavour, and Duilio—had been torpedoed and damaged, with the Cavour never returning to service. This episode covers the dramatic night attack, the damage inflicted on the Italian fleet, and the aftermath that shifted the balance of naval power in the Mediterranean while providing a glimpse of the future of carrier-based warfare.

Miami, FloridaFebruary 15, 1933A warm Wednesday evening in Bayfront Park. President-elect Franklin Roosevelt has just finished a short speech from the back of an open touring car when a five-foot-one Italian bricklayer named Giuseppe Zangara climbs onto a wobbly folding chair, pulls a thirty-two caliber revolver, and fires five shots into the crowd. Roosevelt is untouched. But Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, who had just stepped away from the president-elect's car, takes a bullet to the lung. He will be dead in nineteen days. Zangara will follow him to the grave thirteen days after that — one of the fastest trips from crime to electric chair in American history. The official story is a madman and bad aim. But in Chicago, where the mayor's own police bodyguards had recently tried to assassinate the head of the Capone organization, not everybody was buying it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries. What could go wrong?

I vari giochi si tengono in diverse parti del nord Italia tra la Lombardia e il Trentino Alto Adige. L'inaugurazione è stata allo stadio San Siro di Milano, ma ci sono state e ci saranno prove sportive nella Valtellina, sempre nella regione della Lombardia, a Cortina d'Ampezzo, nella regione Veneto e in Trentino Alto Adige.Pensate che la prima edizione di questo giochi invernali si è svolta nel 1924 per proseguire poi ogni quattro anni. Dal 1994 hanno luogo negli anni pari che non si possono dividere per quattro. La prima volta che i giochi olimpici invernali avrebbero dovuto essere in Italia era il 1944. La località avrebbe dovuto essere proprio la città di Cortina d'Ampezzo, ma i giochi all'epoca sono stati cancellati a causa della guerra. La prima volta quindi che i giochi olimpici invernali hanno avuto luogo in Italia è stato il 1956 proprio nella città di Cortina d'Ampezzo e quest'anno, ...- The full transcript of this Episode (and excercises for many of the grammar episodes) is available via "Luisa's learn Italian Premium", Premium is no subscription and does not incur any recurring fees.

El INTRAS no recibe una subvención a fondo perdido, sino que factura a través de contratos menores y procedimientos negociados sin publicidad (adjudicaciones directas por razones de exclusividad técnica). Convenios Marco: Solo en la última década, el Ministerio del Interior (vía DGT) ha firmado convenios con la Universidad de Valencia para el INTRAS por valores que suman varios millones de euros. Por ejemplo, es habitual encontrar partidas anuales de entre 400.000 € y 600.000 € destinadas exclusivamente a "asesoramiento técnico" y "análisis del comportamiento del conductor". Contratos Específicos: En el histórico de adjudicaciones, aparecen contratos para el diseño de cursos de recuperación de puntos o estudios sobre distracciones con importes que oscilan entre los 60.000 € y los 120.000 € por proyecto. 2. La "exclusividad" y el “blindaje” económico Muchas de estas adjudicaciones se realizan bajo la premisa de que "solo el INTRAS tiene la capacidad técnica" para realizarlos. Esto blinda al instituto frente a la competencia de otras universidades o consultoras privadas. 3. FESVIAL: La pieza clave del puzle Luis Montoro preside además FESVIAL (Fundación Española para la Seguridad Vial). Esta es una entidad privada que actúa como puente.

Ralph welcomes, Robert Weissman co-president of Public Citizen, to discuss his Senate testimony about the many ways the Trump Administration's assault on fraud is itself fraudulent. Plus, Ralph informs us of a report from Aljazeera about the MK-84 weapon the IDF is using in Gaza that is designed to generate so much heat it literally vaporizes people.Robert Weissman is a staunch public interest advocate and activist, as well as an expert on a wide variety of issues ranging from corporate accountability and government transparency, to trade and globalization, to economic and regulatory policy. As the president of Public Citizen, he has spearheaded the effort to loosen the chokehold corporations and the wealthy have over our democracy.Every American should be worried about fraud. So it's fine for the committee to be talking about fraud, but it should be based on actual facts and what's actually happening, which is not what's going on with this focus on Minnesota… And without a doubt, if the concern is about fraud in the public or the private economy right now, the number one problem with fraud is the Trump administration.Robert WeissmanThanks to the Supreme Court decision on Presidential immunity, Trump believes (correctly) that he will not be held criminally accountable for anything that he does while he's President. And that is true so long as that Supreme Court decision stands. And I think it's fair to say that basically everyone who's working for him right now—who I think are committing all kinds of crimes, including through the sale of pardons and through the outrageous use of ICE in Minnesota and around the country—I think they expect they're going to get pardoned before he goes. So I think they think they too will be (and they're probably not wrong in expecting it) that they too will be immune from criminal prosecution (at least federal criminal prosecution) for any crimes they commit while they're in the administration.Robert WeissmanIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 2/13/26* Our top stories this week concern the Jeffrey Epstein case. According to POLITICO, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, who, along with Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has led the charge to release the Epstein files, “took to the House floor Tuesday and read aloud the names of six ‘wealthy, powerful men' whose names were originally redacted,” in the files. These names include billionaire Victoria's Secret owner Leslie Wexner, Emirati shipping magnate Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and Italian politician Nicola Caputo, among other more mysterious figures like Salvatore Nuara and Leonic Leonov. Khanna used congressional representatives' unique power under the speech and debate clause to make these names public, after combing through the files personally along with Rep. Massie. Khanna added “if we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those 3 million files.”* Speaking of hiding names in the files, Axios reports that Representative Jamie Raskin stated that “when he searched President Trump's name in the unredacted Epstein files… it came up ‘more than a million times.'” The implication of this statement is clear: Trump's cronies in the Justice Department are covering up the extent of Trump's relationship and involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. Another member of the administration, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, admitted under Senate questioning that he had lunch with Epstein on his island, along with his family, claiming he “could not recall” why they did. The administration is allowing members of Congress to view the unredacted files within certain hours via a database they describe as confusing, unreliable, and clunky.* Another surprising revelation from the files is that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries apparently solicited campaign donations from Epstein back in 2013. According to MSN, Epstein received a campaign solicitation via email from a fundraising firm touting Jeffries as “one of the rising stars in the New York Congressional delegation,” and offering Epstein “an opportunity to get to know Hakeem better.” Jeffries denies having any knowledge of this firm's outreach to Epstein and decried House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer's implication that he had any relationship with the late sexual predator and financier, calling Comer a “stone cold liar” and a “malignant clown.”* In non-Epstein related news from Capitol Hill, last week lawmakers held a hearing to probe the operations of autonomous taxi service Waymo. While Republicans chose to focus on Waymo's supposed ties to Chinese companies, Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts grilled the chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, on the company's reliance on workers abroad for key safety decisions. Peña admitted that while some operators are located in the US, others – who step in when robotaxis encounter “unusual situations” – work remotely from the Philippines. Markey called this “completely unacceptable,” emphasizing that these workers may need to react “in a split second” during dangerous scenarios. Waymo is just the latest company marketing its services as high tech and autonomous, but later revealed to be reliant on cheap foreign labor. This from Business Insider.* ICE lawlessness continues to roil Congress. Many Democrats are now sounding the alarm that Trump's immigration police – masked, armed, accountable directly to him and backed to the hilt by the administration – could be used as a tool to suppress voter turnout by conducting raids at or near polling locations, thereby scaring citizens into staying home. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut said “Trump is trying to create a pretext to rig the election.” Murphy, along with some Senate Democratic allies, pushed leadership to demand that ICE be banned from polling sites as a condition of government shutdown negotiations, but leadership balked, per POLITICO. While such a scenario can sound far-fetched, Trump has “falsely and repeatedly claimed for more than a decade that millions of illegal immigrants vote in the U.S., arguing that was one factor in his 2020 loss,” and, just before the 2020 election, he pledged to send “sheriffs” and “law enforcement” to polling places.* Drop Site News' Jacqueline Sweet reports 70 organizations, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and Unitarian, as well as civil rights, academic, legal, peace, and human rights groups, submitted a formal request to the National Security Division of the Justice Department seeking a “Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) investigation into Canary Mission.” Canary Mission is a shadowy, infamous group that tracks pro-Palestine activity on college campuses. In 2018, they appeared at the George Washington University wearing spooky masks in an attempt to intimidate the student government into voting down a BDS resolution. They failed. This latest letter comes on the heels of a Drop Site story from January that “showed among other things that Canary is operated in Israel by a large Israeli team.” As the letter notes, the Foreign Agent Registration Act “exists precisely to address this type of potential activity carried out in the United States for the benefit of a foreign country.”* In more news regarding pro-Palestine activism, last week, six defendants linked to Palestine Action, a direct action protest group in the United Kingdom, were acquitted of aggravated burglary in connection with an alleged break in at Elbit Systems, a defense firm with close ties to the Israeli military, in August 2024. The persecution of Palestine Action has gone far beyond normal law enforcement. Some activists have been in pre-trial detention for over 500 days, more than double the maximum limit set by the Crown Prosecution Service. The case of the Palestine Action protestors has drawn outcry from international human rights groups, including the United Nations and Human Rights Watch. As HRW notes, in July of last year, the British government declared Palestine Action a terrorist organization and have now detained over 2,700 protestors over infractions as minor as holding a sign reading “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.” As of now, over 20 activists are still in detention awaiting trial, many beyond the legal limits, and the six acquitted activists may face retrial. But for now, the group has scored a major victory in the face of overwhelming odds.* Turning back to domestic news, New York Governor Kathy Hochul appears to have pulled off a fait accompli in her reelection campaign. Last year, former Representative Elise Stefanik dropped her bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomination and sitting Rep. Mike Lawler declined to run. Now, Hochul's main primary opponent – Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado – has dropped his bid after Hochul secured the endorsements of New York City Mayor and political superstar Zohran Mamdani as well as the entirety of the New York Democratic congressional delegation. This from the New York Times. This is a stunning political feat for a Governor who won the narrowest gubernatorial election in the state since 1994 when she was last up in 2022. It now seems that Hochul will square off against Bruce Blakeman, the Trump-endorsed Republican executive of Nassau County in November.* Meanwhile in Los Angeles, the dynamic of the Mayoral race was upended this week by the last-minute decision of Councilmember Nithya Raman to throw her hat into the ring against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. Raman, an urban planner by trade, chairs the Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee and has “built her political identity around tenant protections, homelessness policy and efforts to accelerate housing production,” per the Los Angeles Daily News. Raman was the first of several Councilmembers elected with DSA support and she has maintained a strong relationship with the local branch despite tensions with the national organization, primarily over Israel/Palestine issues. Bass, who won a narrow election against billionaire developer Rick Caruso in 2022, has faced harsh criticism over her handling of the devastating fires in 2025 and her inability to make significant progress on the city's homelessness crisis. However, Bass maintains the support of much of the city's Democratic establishment, including the unions and much of the City Council and Raman's late entry will make it difficult for her to consolidate majority support across the sprawling western metropolis.* Finally, in a David-and-Goliath tale, we turn to TJ Sabula, the UAW Local 600 Ford factory line worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector.” Infamously, the president retorted by giving Sabula the finger and mouthing, “F--- you.” Ironically, Trump also trotted out his iconic catchphrase “You're fired.” Well, Sabula was not fired – and in fact “has no discipline on his record,” – because he was protected by his union, per the Detroit News. In a recent address, UAW Vice President Laura Dickerson said “TJ, we got your back,” adding “In that moment, we saw what the president really thinks about working people…As UAW members, we speak truth to power. We don't just protect rights, we exercise them.” UAW President Shawn Fain, who has emerged as a firebrand leader of the revitalized labor movement, commented “That's a union brother who spoke up…He put his constitutional rights to work. He put his union rights to work.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

On this episode of the Italian American Podcast, host Patrick O'Boyle convenes a distinguished panel at the Italian Cultural Institute in New York to explore the often-overlooked world of Neapolitan Renaissance art. Claudio, the Institute's director, outlines its mission to promote Italian culture across New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, strengthening ties between Italy and the Italian American community. Patrick shares the story of restoring forgotten masterpieces in Buccino, Salerno—an initiative sparked by an unexpected American connection and dedicated to reviving sacred works of art. The discussion turns to innovation in preservation. Ivan describes how virtual reality and artificial intelligence are expanding access to cultural heritage, including the creation of digital twins of the Annunciation statues damaged in the 1980 Irpinia earthquake. These tools allow audiences to follow the restoration process step by step, illustrating how collaboration between Italian and American institutions can protect historic treasures. Art historian Danielle Oteri offers a perspective on the Neapolitan Renaissance's neglected legacy, recalling how aristocratic patrons once commissioned major works for rural churches, bringing artistic excellence to everyday communities. Reflecting on emigration, loss, and renewal, the episode underscores how the Italian diaspora can help restore ancestral towns, making the past not only remembered but rebuilt.   LOCATION: Italian Cultural Institute, 686 Park Avenue, New York, NY.    THEIR SOCIALS: Antonio Vincente Amendola Instagram: @antoniovicenteamendola   Danielle Oteri Her Website: https://www.feasttravel.com/ Instagram: @danielleoteri_italy Youtube:  @danielle-oteri    HOSTS: Patrick O'Boyle Danielle Oteri   SPECIAL GUESTS: Antonio Vincente Amdenola Claudio Pagliara Ivan Allevi   PRODUCED BY: Nicholas Calvello-Macchia

Agade: The AI-Powered Wearable Robots That Protect Workers, Not Replace Them AI Meets Human CraftsmanshipThere's something poetic about a technology born to help people with muscular dystrophy finding its second life on factory floors and logistics warehouses. That's the story of Agade, an Italian deeptech startup that began as a research project at Politecnico di Milano and evolved into something far more ambitious: a mission to preserve human craftsmanship in an age of automation.I sat down with Lorenzo Aquilante, CEO and co-founder of Agade, to talk about their journey from healthcare innovation to industrial exoskeletons—and what it was like showcasing their latest product at CES 2026.The origin story matters here. Back in 2017, researchers at Politecnico di Milano started developing exoskeletons for people affected by muscular dystrophy. They created something different—a semi-active model powered by AI that recognizes when a user is lifting and responds accordingly. It wasn't just about motors and sensors. It was about intelligence.Then companies came knocking. Manufacturing firms, logistics operations, industries where human workers still matter because their skills, experience, and judgment can't be replaced by machines. They saw potential. Why not use this technology to protect the people doing the heavy lifting—literally?Agade was founded in 2020 with a clear mission: preserve craftsmanship against the physical toll of material handling. Not replace humans. Protect them.The company now has two products. The first, launched in 2024, focuses on shoulder assistance. The second—the one they brought to CES 2026—targets the lower back, which makes sense when you consider that back pain is practically an occupational hazard for anyone moving materials all day.What makes Agade's approach different is that semi-active AI system. The exoskeleton knows when you're lifting. It responds. It's not just a passive brace or a fully motorized suit that takes over. It's somewhere in between—smart enough to help, light enough to wear all day.Lorenzo emphasized something that resonated with me: the importance of feedback. From day one, Agade has been obsessed with real-world testing. Not lab conditions. Actual workers doing actual jobs. Because the buyer isn't the user—companies purchase these for their employees—and that creates a unique dynamic. You need both sides to believe in the technology.The CES experience brought that home. There's always the initial wow factor when someone sees a wearable robot with motors and sensors. But the real work happens after the demo, when users tell you what needs to improve. That's where the collaboration lives.And here's what struck me most about this conversation: Agade isn't trying to remove humans from the equation. They're trying to keep humans in it longer, healthier, and more capable. In a world racing toward full automation, there's something refreshing about a company betting on human skill—and building technology to protect it.The products are available globally. You can reach Agade through their website at agadexoskeletons.com, find them on LinkedIn and other social channels, and even arrange trials before committing to a purchase.For those of us watching the intersection of AI, robotics, and human labor, Agade represents a different path. Not humans versus machines. Humans with machines. Tools that amplify rather than replace.That's a story worth telling.Marco Ciappelli interviews Lorenzo Aquilante, CEO & Co-Founder of Agade, for ITSPmagazine's Brand Highlight series following CES 2026.>>> Marcociappelli.comGUESTLorenzo Aquilante, CEO and co-founder of Agadehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lorenzo-aquilante-108573b0/RESOURCESAGADE: https://agade-exoskeletons.comAre you interested in telling your story?▶︎ Full Length Brand Story: https://www.studioc60.com/content-creation#full▶︎ Brand Spotlight Story: https://www.studioc60.com/content-creation#spotlight▶︎ Brand Highlight Story: https://www.studioc60.com/content-creation#highlightKEYWORDSAgade, exoskeleton, CES 2026, wearable robotics, AI, future of work, industrial exoskeleton, made in Italy, workplace safety, deeptech, robotics.

The Washington Roundtable discusses Donald Trump's recent “explosion of the ego” and tendency toward megalomania, and they consider how the evolution of autocratic regimes in history can help us to predict how the rest of his Presidency may unfold. They are joined by Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a professor of history and Italian studies at New York University, who is the author of “Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present.” The group looks at how, as autocrats' popularity decreases—as Trump's has recently in the polls—these figures develop paranoia and entrench themselves in untenable positions, a phenomenon called “autocratic backfire.” “The key is that they end up constructing a kind of echo chamber. And so they overestimate their own abilities,” Ben-Ghiat says. “They start to believe their own propaganda.”This week's reading: “ ‘If We Don't Have Free Speech, Then We Just Don't Have a Free Country,' ” by Susan B.

Allez, on fait le point sur le blocage du port de Marseille par des marins en grève. Come on, let's take stock of the blockade of the port of Marseille by sailors on strike.En gros le topo c'est ça : des marins français bloquent un énorme navire de croisière. Basically, the situation is this: French sailors are blocking a huge cruise ship.Pourquoi ? Et bien pour protester contre une concurrence qu'ils jugent totalement déloyale et qui menace directement leurs emplois. Why? Well, to protest against competition they consider totally unfair and which directly threatens their jobs.Premièrement sur le terrain, qu'est-ce qui se passe concrètement ? First, on the ground, what is happening concretely?Vous avez le MSC Orchestra, un paquebot géant avec plus de 3 200 passagers, qui est complètement immobilisé à l'entrée du port. You have the MSC Orchestra, a giant cruise ship with more than 3,200 passengers, which is completely immobilized at the port entrance.Les marins grévistes, qui sont menés par le syndicat CGT, bloquent physiquement l'accès nord. The striking sailors, who are led by the CGT union, are physically blocking the northern access.Du coup, c'est simple, aucun navire ne peut accoster de ce côté. As a result, it's simple: no ship can dock on this side.Deuxièmement, la cause de toute cette colère. Le cœur du problème, c'est la concurrence déloyale. Secondly, the cause of all this anger. The heart of the problem is unfair competition.Il y a des compagnies étrangères qui naviguent sous pavillon international, italien notamment, et qui opèrent sur des lignes françaises, comme vers la Corse. There are foreign companies sailing under international flags, notably Italian, which operate on French lines, such as towards Corsica.Le souci, c'est que ces compagnies emploient des marins avec des contrats non français et ils sont payés beaucoup, beaucoup moins cher. The concern is that these companies employ sailors with non-French contracts and they are paid much, much less.On parle de 650 à 1 200 dollars par mois. We are talking about 650 to 1,200 dollars per month.Forcément pour les compagnies françaises comme Corsica Linea, qui respectent la loi, la compétition est juste impossible. Inevitably, for French companies like Corsica Linea, which follow the law, competition is simply impossible.Ils exigent que l'État français intervienne. They demand that the French state intervene.Ils veulent que toutes les compagnies qui opèrent en France respectent la loi française. They want all companies operating in France to respect French law.

echoed in the crisp winter air.It: Era San Valentino, e bancarelle di dolci e fiori coloravano i margini della piazza.En: It was Valentine's Day, and stalls of sweets and flowers colored the edges of the square.It: Giovanni, un architetto riservato, camminava tra la folla.En: Giovanni, a reserved architect, walked through the crowd.It: Il suo sguardo era fisso su un libro di architettura, cercando disperatamente un angolo tranquillo dove poterselo godere.En: His gaze was fixed on a book about architecture, desperately seeking a quiet corner where he could enjoy it.It: Dall'altra parte della piazza, Livia, una scrittrice di viaggi estroversa, annotava dettagli per il suo prossimo articolo sui festeggiamenti di San Valentino.En: On the other side of the square, Livia, an extroverted travel writer, was jotting down details for her next article on the Valentine's Day festivities.It: Cercava una storia speciale, qualcosa che facesse emergere la vera essenza della giornata.En: She was searching for a special story, something that captured the true essence of the day.It: I due si incontrarono casualmente vicino al bordo della fontana.En: The two met by chance near the edge of the fountain.It: Livia, intenta a osservare la folla, urtò Giovanni accidentalmente, facendo sì che il caffè si rovesciasse sul suo libro.En: Livia, intent on observing the crowd, accidentally bumped into Giovanni, causing coffee to spill on his book.It: Giovanni, all'inizio infastidito, guardò Livia mentre cercava freneticamente di asciugare le pagine.En: Initially annoyed, Giovanni looked at Livia as she frantically tried to dry the pages.It: "Mi dispiace tanto," disse Livia, con un sorriso imbarazzato.En: "I'm so sorry," said Livia, with an embarrassed smile.It: Giovanni sospirò, ma vide la sincerità nei suoi occhi.En: Giovanni sighed but saw the sincerity in her eyes.It: "Non preoccuparti," rispose.En: "Don't worry," he replied.It: "Forse puoi compensare aiutandomi a trovare un posto tranquillo."En: "Perhaps you can make it up by helping me find a quiet place."It: Incuriosita, Livia accettò la sfida.En: Intrigued, Livia accepted the challenge.It: Iniziarono a camminare insieme, parlando del passato di Roma e di quanto l'architettura raccontasse storie risalenti a secoli fa.En: They began to walk together, talking about Rome's past and how the architecture told stories dating back centuries.It: Marco, l'amico di Livia, osservava da lontano, facendo cenni incerti alla sua amica.En: Marco, Livia's friend, watched from a distance, giving uncertain signals to his friend.It: Mentre esploravano la piazza, Livia mostrò a Giovanni come i piccoli dettagli delle celebrazioni potessero raccontare storie uniche.En: As they explored the square, Livia showed Giovanni how the small details of the celebrations could tell unique stories.It: Alla fine, scoprirono un angolo tranquillo da dove ammirare la bellezza della fontana senza troppe distrazioni.En: Eventually, they discovered a quiet corner from where they could admire the beauty of the fountain without too many distractions.It: "Questo posto è perfetto," disse Giovanni, sedendosi sulla panchina e osservando le persone che passavano.En: "This place is perfect," said Giovanni, sitting on the bench and watching the people pass by.It: Livia cominciò a raccontare come cercare una storia significativa fosse simile all'osservazione dell'architettura: gli angoli nascosti rivelavano verità nascoste.En: Livia began to explain how searching for a meaningful story was similar to observing architecture: hidden corners revealed hidden truths.It: Giovanni ascoltava, affascinato dai semplici dettagli che lei avrebbe descritto nel suo articolo.En: Giovanni listened, fascinated by the simple details she would describe in her article.It: I due trascorsero l'intero pomeriggio a discutere di arte, storia e delle piccole connessioni che avevano scoperto durante il loro girovagare.En: The two spent the entire afternoon discussing art, history, and the small connections they had discovered during their wanderings.It: Alla fine del giorno, mentre la luce del sole calava, Livia si sentì ispirata a scrivere non solo delle celebrazioni, ma anche dell'inaspettata amicizia nata tra loro.En: By the end of the day, as the sunlight faded, Livia felt inspired to write not just about the celebrations but also about the unexpected friendship that had formed between them.It: Giovanni, d'altro canto, aveva finalmente scoperto la bellezza nel caos attorno a lui.En: Giovanni, on the other hand, had finally discovered the beauty in the chaos around him.It: Rinunciò alla sua solitudine e decise di lasciarsi trasportare più spesso dal flusso della vita.En: He gave up his solitude and decided to go with the flow of life more often.It: "Vogliamo rivederci?"En: "Shall we meet again?"It: chiese Livia, chiudendo il suo taccuino con un sorriso.En: asked Livia, closing her notebook with a smile.It: "Sì," rispose Giovanni, sentendo un calore nuovo dentro di sé.En: "Yes," replied Giovanni, feeling a new warmth inside himself.It: "Ho ancora molte storie da imparare da te."En: "I still have many stories to learn from you."It: Così, in una vivace Piazza Navona, in un giorno dedicato all'amore, nacque qualcosa di autentico e prezioso: una connessione tra anime, oltre la frenesia delle festività.En: Thus, in a lively Piazza Navona, on a day dedicated to love, something authentic and precious was born: a connection between souls beyond the frenzy of the festivities.It: Giovanni e Livia non erano più solo osservatori del mondo, ma partecipanti attivi, pronti a esplorare le infinite storie nascoste tra le pieghe del quotidiano.En: Giovanni and Livia were no longer just observers of the world, but active participants, ready to explore the infinite stories hidden in the folds of the everyday.

Today's episode is a special one. I'm joined by John Kinnane, writer, and Brendan Kinnane, executive producer—two members of the Kinnane Brothers, an eight-sibling filmmaking family who are redefining what an independent film operation can look like.Their new feature, Solo Mio, is in theaters right now. Released by Angel Studios on 3,000 screens, the film opened in second place at the box office—an enormous achievement for a true micro-budget production. It's the kind of story exhibitors and indie filmmakers dream about: a scrappy, family-run production going toe-to-toe with studio titles and winning over audiences.If the Kinnane name sounds familiar, it might be from their viral “sound guy” shorts with Kevin James during the pandemic—videos that exploded online and put them on the industry's radar. From there, brothers Chuck and Dan directed Home Team for Adam Sandler, starring Kevin James, which debuted at number one on Netflix.Now with Solo Mio, all eight brothers are officially credited on a single feature for the first time—each one leading a different discipline, from writing and directing to editing, VFX, and music. They operate as a fully self-contained creative unit out of a charming old farmhouse in Little Compton—main floor as production headquarters, basement transformed into an Irish pub. It's part think tank, part film studio, part family legend in the making.Directed by Charles and Daniel Kinnane and co-written with Kevin James, Solo Mio follows a man who heads to Rome on his honeymoon alone after being left at the altar. It's romantic, funny, and set against a stunning Italian backdrop—but behind it is a uniquely American filmmaking story about family, hustle, and building something from the ground up.Today we're talking about how eight brothers divide creative roles without dividing each other, how you scale from viral shorts to a 3,000-screen theatrical release, and what it really takes to turn a micro-budget film into a box office hit.

“Healthy, happy, and balanced athletes are the ones that make it across the finish line again and again throughout a long career and leave a legacy.” — Jessie DigginsJessie Diggins is currently competing in her fourth and final Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina. I interviewed her back in January 2021, just one week after her historic Tour de Ski win on some of the same Italian mountains she's skiing on now. Since our recording, Jessie has become the most accomplished cross-country skier from the US, with 4 Olympic medals (she won her 4th one today!), 3 World Cup overall titles, 7 World Championship medals, and countless other accolades. Even though it's no longer Covid times (thank goodness), this powerful conversation about fueling for joy, resilience, and longevity in sport remains just as relevant and important today. ---In Episode 37, I'm honored to be joined by cross-country skier and Olympic gold medalist Jessie Diggins. She is not only dominating her sport, but also using her platform to promote healthy fueling, body positivity, and the importance of enjoying food without restriction.Many fans first fell in love with Jessie during the 2018 Winter Olympics, where she and Kikkan Randall won the first-ever American gold medal in cross-country skiing. At the time of this interview, Jessie had also just won the Tour de Ski, becoming the first American to claim the title.In this conversation, Jessie challenges the idea that leanness leads to success, reminding athletes that “Skinny doesn't win races. Fast wins races.” She emphasizes that fueling well, prioritizing health, and embracing joy are essential to reaching the start line ready to race.

Towards the end of his reign, Henry VII really came into his own; he stood as a giant on the European stage, a player in THE most dynamic and profound change in European politics in decades, poised to strike down his enemies and ensure his dynasty was cemented into the high seat of European politics… but how did he do it?What follows is the opening part of a story involving corrupt popes, holy cartels, dodgy Italians living in London, dubious Spaniards, an eager but devout heir to the throne, and one of the most lucrative smuggling operations of the era, all of which has Henry VII right in the heart of it. Welcome to the first part… of The Spanish Gambit.Cover features portrait of Pope Julius II by Raphael.

Book tour tickets and details here.Today, the story of three inventions. The first, the sewing machine, was created by a selfish and ambitious inventor who wanted all the credit and was willing to fight a war for it. The second, a more modern invention, was made by an Italian inventor who wanted only to connect the world through video, so “evvvvverybody can talk with evvvvverybody else.”And, a third invention that tied them both together across more than a century. The patent pool.How do people get motivated to invent, and how do they get rewarded for their ideas? Usually through a patent. And, when the thicket of patents becomes too thick, how do we simplify, and make it so inventors can work together?

Kelly may have posted too many reels, but how could she not when there was so much content? It was a big auto show for parents as Britax became the first car seat company to ever reveal a new product at an auto show. Why aren't more carseat companies taking advantage of these shows? The good news is you'll be able to see plenty of them at the Car Mom Auto Show!  The other big story from over the weekend was, of course, the Super Bowl.

Today's Headlines: Congress is scrambling to keep up with Europe's Epstein accountability push. Rep. Ro Khanna publicly named six men he says were “likely incriminated” in the Epstein files, including retail billionaire Les Wexner, UAE hotel developer Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, an Italian politician, a Russian author, a former NYPD detective tied to an escort ring, and one largely unknown figure. Lawmakers say more names are coming. Members who reviewed the files also claim there are over a million mentions of Trump, documents contradicting his claim that he kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago, and evidence showing Trump called Palm Beach police in 2006 to report Epstein — portraying himself as disturbed and uninvolved. It was a packed day on Capitol Hill. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick admitted he did visit Epstein's island with his family after previously denying any social contact. Immigration officials testified ahead of a possible government shutdown, defending ICE while refusing to directly address the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti. Lawmakers also learned only about a quarter of ICE agents have body cameras, ICE wants more funding, and the agency plans to operate at the 2026 World Cup. In related news, ProPublica reported more than 18,000 habeas petitions filed this year by immigrants alleging illegal detention — driven by mass detention policies rather than allowing people to remain in their communities during proceedings. Elsewhere, Trump's DOJ asked the Supreme Court to overturn Steve Bannon's contempt conviction, while a Trump-appointed judge blocked the administration from forcing states to hand over voter data. Trump also criticized Netanyahu's West Bank settlement expansion — while simultaneously floating another aircraft carrier deployment toward Iran. In election news, progressive organizer Analilia Mejia won New Jersey's 11th District Democratic primary, defeating an AIPAC-backed field. And in Nebraska, lawmakers capped things off by passing a bill cutting minimum wages for teenage workers. Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: NYT: Grand Jury Rebuffs Justice Dept.
