Podcasts about Italy

The chief conductor of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra on the chair of spikes which accompanied his early musical career, and why he doesn't tone down his Italian self for work (R)During his Suzuki lessons in Turin, Italy, a young Umberto Clerici was sitting up straight on a chair full of spikes, lest his posture slip.Umberto chose the cello as his instrument, mainly because it wasn't the violin, which sounded like a cat in a washing machine when played by the older students in his neighbourhood.Throughout his career playing in orchestras around the world, Umberto has gone to great lengths to let the music filter through him, to embody the meaning behind the notes, to learn what the composer thought or felt.Today Umberto Clerici is the chief conductor of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.To binge even more great episodes of the ‘Conversations podcast' with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/EVNewsDailyLUCID LIFTS SALES, STILL BLEEDS CASHLucid posted Q4 2025 revenue of $522.7 million — more than double the prior year — and full-year revenue of $1.35 billion (+68%), while delivering 15,841 vehicles in 2025 (+55%), its eighth consecutive quarter of record deliveries, backed by $4.6 billion in liquidity. The growth comes at a steep price: the company burned $3.8 billion in cash in 2025, announced its third layoff in three years (cutting 12% of US salaried staff), and is banking on a new ~$50,000 midsize SUV later in 2026.EU PETROL AND DIESEL SHARE SLIDES AGAINEU new car registrations fell 3.9% in January 2026, but the real story is the collapse in fossil fuel powertrains: the combined petrol and diesel share fell from 39.5% a year ago to just 30.1%, down from 48.7% in January 2024, with petrol registrations dropping 28.2% year-on-year across France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Pure BEVs took a 19.3% share (up from 14.9% twelve months prior), and electrified powertrains collectively accounted for around 68% of all January registrations.COMMISSION DELAYS "MADE IN EUROPE" PROCUREMENT ACTThe European Commission's Industrial Accelerator Act — which would add a "European preference" to public procurement, including a 70% EU-origin threshold for electric vehicles — has been delayed for a fourth time, now targeting a 4 March presentation. The UK has raised concerns that any protectionist tilt could damage cross-Channel automotive supply chains, given the EU is the largest export market for UK-built cars.VOLVO RECALLS 40,323 EX30S OVER FIRE RISKVolvo has issued a formal recall of 40,323 EX30 Single-Motor Extended Range and Twin-Motor Performance vehicles over a battery overheating risk — caused by lithium plating growth in cells from Shandong Geely Sunwoda Power Battery Co — that could trigger a fire. Volvo will replace the battery modules free of charge, but has disputed Reuters' estimate that the replacements alone could cost around $195 million, while continuing to advise owners to cap charging at 70% until their vehicle is fixed.T&E PUSHES EU TO TOUGHEN CORPORATE EV QUOTASTransport & Environment, an NGO advocating for clean transport, is urging the EU to raise corporate fleet EV targets to 69% zero-emission vehicles by 2030 — well above the Commission's proposed 45% — while excluding PHEVs entirely, arguing that company car drivers rarely plug in and routinely exceed lab-test emissions figures. Corporate buyers account for roughly 60% of new EU car sales, and T&E says its stricter targets would deliver 1.9 million additional EU-made EV sales in 2030, versus 1.2 million under the current Commission plan, while redirecting €42 billion in annual fossil fuel company car tax subsidies toward EU-built EVs.VAUXHALL CONFIRMS ELECTRIC CORSA GSE FOR 2026Vauxhall has confirmed a fully electric Corsa GSE for 2026, the brand's first hot hatch in eight years and the second model under its revived GSE performance sub-brand. The car is expected to carry over the Mokka GSE's 276bhp front motor, 54kWh battery, Torsen limited-slip differential, and Alcon brakes — a combination that delivers 0–62mph in 5.9 seconds on the Mokka, matching the Mini Cooper Electric JCW.RENAULT TO BUY OUT FLEXIS PARTNERSRenault plans to take full ownership of Flexis, its electric van joint venture, by buying out partners Volvo Group and CMA CGM — part of a broader retrenchment under new CEO François Provost that also sees the Ampere EV and software unit folded back into Renault Group by as early as July 2026. The first Flexis product, the Renault Trafic Van E-Tech, remains on track for production at Sandouville before the end of 2026, with Renault Trucks distributing the van from 2027 under an existing light commercial vehicle partnership.LEPAS CONFIRMS L8 SUV FOR UK LAUNCHChery-owned Lepas has confirmed its L8 SUV as its first UK model, with a summer 2026 launch expected and full specifications still to come. The most likely powertrain is the plug-in hybrid system shared with the UK-spec Jaecoo 7 — a 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with an electric motor and 18.3kWh battery delivering 56 miles of electric range and 204bhp total — with a pure EV variant expected to follow.HONDA ICON E: ELECTRIC SCOOTER HITS ¥220,000 IN JAPANHonda has launched the ICON e: electric scooter in Japan at ¥220,000 (~$1,435 / €1,350), undercutting its own petrol mopeds by around ¥20,000 and claiming 81km (50 miles) of range via a removable, swappable Mobile Power Pack e: battery. Accessible from age 16 under Japan's moped licence class — mirroring the EU's AM category — the ICON e: is designed for urban practicality over headline specs, and its sub-€1,400 price positions it well as European cities continue to tighten low-emission zones.

In episode 123 of "I Learned About Flying From That," host Carl Valeri sits down with pilot James McDiarmid to discuss a dream cross-country flight that quickly turned into a terrifying emergency. Cruising at 23,000 feet in his Mooney Acclaim en route from the UK to Italy, James was enjoying a smooth ride—until the engine unexpectedly quit cold over Brussels. Faced with freezing temperatures and a complete loss of power, James was forced to declare a Mayday and initiate a harrowing dead-stick glide toward an unfamiliar runway, with his wife by his side and the odds stacked against them. Will they make it to the ground safely? And what invisible, easily overlooked threat caused a perfectly well-maintained engine to suddenly fail at flight level 230? Tune in to hear the gripping conclusion to James's mid-air crisis and discover the critical lesson every high-altitude piston pilot needs to hear.

Lindsay is joined by author Gigi Berardi to discuss her newest book, “Bianca's Cure,” which was released by She Writes Press on February 10th, 2026. Florence, 1563. Forbidden from practicing her herbal cures in Venice, the young noblewoman Bianca Capello flees to Florence, where the ruling Medici family practices alchemy. There, she wins herself an invitation to their palace, and, as well as a path to Duke Regent Francesco's bed. The impassioned bond between Francesco de Medici and Bianca is at the core of this fact-driven dive into medicine, politics, love, and ultimately death in Renaissance Florence. Gigi Berardi hails from Hollywood, and holds degrees in biology, resources and planning, and dance. A Fulbright scholar in Italy and professor at Western Washington University in Bellingham, she also teaches in Florence, Italy. She's written more than 400 reviews and articles for print media and been featured on an array of podcasts and broadcast media. Beyond writing, her other passions include dance, cheesemaking, and travel. Purchase a copy in ebook or paperback. Send us your listener questions to bit.ly/AskYOC.

Tarik Skubal is basically one-and-done for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, and we're not thrilled about it. Who fills the gap? Is Team USA already in trouble? And are robo-umps about to screw someone in a massive spot thanks to the ABS strike zone issue that players like Sal Frelick are pointing out?

In this episode, we sit down with Myisha Moore, founder of Saint Enzo — a luxury modern Lambrusco designed to rival Champagne in quality and sophistication. Launched in August 2025, Saint Enzo's first release sold out within minutes online. Retailing at $80, the wine is produced entirely in Italy using 100% organic Lambrusco Grasparossa, with zero additives or cellar manipulation — challenging outdated perceptions of Lambrusco and restoring it to its historic prestige. Myisha, a brand management leader with experience across Nike, BlackRock, Ferrari, and Christian Louboutin, identified a white space in the wine and celebration market. Partnering with Armon Moore — a Creative Director with experience spanning Bentley, Bevel, and global luxury wine markets — the duo spent six years developing a product intentionally designed for modern connection and elevated celebration. In this conversation, we discuss: • Repositioning misunderstood categories as aspirational • From personal observation to market opportunity • Six years of vineyard visits and producer partnerships • The intersection of design, strategy, and luxury • Building a brand ecosystem rooted in joy and cultural relevance Saint Enzo is more than wine — it's a reframe of celebration itself. Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who appreciates bold branding, luxury innovation, and visionary founders. #LuxuryWine #FounderStory #BrandStrategy #WineIndustry #Entrepreneurship   saintenzo.com

From the beginning of Galileo's career, well before the publication of the Sidereus Nuncius, his contemporaries took pains to shape his reputation and fame. They were fully aware that their efforts would shape the course of his career; they also knew that they would profit from helping him. With Galileo's Fame: Science, Credibility, and Memory in the Seventeenth Century (U Pittsburgh Press, 2025), Anna-Luna Post offers a welcome new perspective on the volatile dynamic between early modern fame and science in Italy, shifting the focus from the recipient of fame to its brokers. Galileo's contemporaries knew his rise to fame was not a matter of course. Not only were his discoveries highly contested, he also was not the first to observe Jupiter's four largest moons. Yet, of the three men who did so between the summer of 1609 and the winter of 1610, Galileo is the only one who achieved both widespread fame and posthumous glory. Post convincingly argues that fame is, rather than the direct result of merit or extraordinary achievements, shaped through human intervention.

He is the author of Radicals in Exile (2020), Bob Dylan in the Attic (2022), and Luisa de Carvajal y Mendoza (2025).

In this episode of the podcast, Obi sits down with sports psychologist and founder of Utah Sports Psych, Jon Osborn, for a real conversation about confidence, failure, and what success actually means.Jon shares how a career-ending knee injury at 16 led him into the world of sports psychology, and how that moment shaped the work he now does with athletes at every level — from youth programs to collegiate teams and professional organizations. He breaks down what it really looks like to “get out of your head,” why fear of failure shows up so early in athletes, and how confidence isn't a feeling — it's a habit built through daily consistency.The conversation goes deeper as Obi opens up about tearing his ACL, restarting his rookie season overseas, getting cut in Italy, and redefining success at every stage of his career. They unpack roles, resilience, arguing with coaches, social media comparison, and why being a great teammate might be the fastest way to unlock your own game.This episode isn't just about mental toughness. It's about clarity. It's about responsibility. It's about understanding that success changes depending on the season you're in.And maybe most importantly — it's about remembering that even at the highest level… those guys cry too.Make sure to follow us.

Today on Joe Oltmann Untamed, we're ripping the lid off the stolen-election machine that never stops running. CISA's own report admitting Georgia's 2020 voting machines and tabulators had serious issues, issues they've known about for years but never fixed. We tie it straight to Tina Peters, who's still rotting in a Colorado prison 505 days later because she dared to demand transparency. Her bond was just denied again, and the system keeps punishing the people who try to protect our votes while the real criminals walk free.We also expose the ugly underbelly of the political class. Kash Patel's off partying in Italy like it's spring break while Patriots like Tina, Mark Cook, and so many others pay the real price for speaking truth. Meanwhile, the left openly plots firings, arrests, and lawsuits the moment they regain power Susan Rice laid it out plain on camera. And the fallout from living under stolen electionsThis show is a gut punch of reality: stolen elections have consequences, whistleblowers get crushed, and the elites keep partying while the rest of us suffer. From cartel chaos trapping Americans in Mexico to the slow bleed of our republic, we're laying it all bare, no filter, no excuses. Tune in for the raw truth and the fight to take our country back before it's gone for good. You won't walk away the same.

Hey folks, Dean is traveling for work this week and is going to see St. Francis' bones on display in Italy (this is not a joke), so this week we're reposting some classic Cuba content from 2022! It's the last week of Advent! We made it. We're rounding out our series on Cuba with some extremely niche content about Papal visits and Cuba. This is some really in the weeds content, but it shows a real interesting interchange between the Cuban revolution and religion. There's a dialectic at play here that is worth paying attention to! Here was the book we mentioned from Fidel on the podcast: https://archive.org/details/capitalismincris00cast/page/36/mode/2upYou can find all of JPII's addresses in Cuba here: https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/travels/1998/travels/documents/trav_cuba-1998.htmlGet our Cuba Zine

Coffee… or wine… or both.And your cost of living just dropped by 40–60%.If you've been dreaming about gay retirement abroad, but assumed Europe meant Paris prices or Barcelona crowds, think again. In this episode of Queer Money, we break down the top 5 cities to retire in Croatia for gay men who want affordability, culture, and coastal beauty without draining their portfolio.Croatia may be Europe's best-kept retirement secret.We ranked these cities using our Queer Money Retirement Rating, overweighting affordability because stretching your retirement dollars matters — especially if you want options.In This Episode We Cover:➜ Zagreb – Croatia's largest LGBTQ+ community and most livable city➜ Split – Beach life, island hopping, and expat-friendly energy➜ Rijeka – Progressive, artsy, and quietly affordable➜ Osijek – Shockingly low cost of living with small-town charm➜ Zadar – Romantic seaside sunsets without the tourist chaosWe also break down:➜ Cost of living compared to Denver (40–60% cheaper)➜ Average two-bedroom rent ($700–$1,400 USD)➜ LGBTQ+ protections and civil union laws➜ What the gay scene actually looks like (and where to be discreet)➜ Why Dubrovnik didn't make the listCroatia offers Mediterranean lifestyle, national healthcare access, and European culture — without the Spain or Italy price tag.But affordability is only half the story.

Next Friday, the 2026 Paralympic Games kick off in Milan Cortina, the same region in Northern Italy which hosted the recently concluded Winter Olympics. Anna Soens is an alpine skier from Bend with incomplete paralysis who earned a spot on the Team USA roster. She will now head to Italy to join more than 650 athletes from around the world vying for victory in nearly 80 medal events.    It is her first time competing in the Paralympics where she has qualified for five events:  downhill, super-G, alpine combined, giant slalom and slalom. The achievement is even more impressive considering that she has only been skiing with the use of adaptive equipment for less than a decade after an accident at a Portland rock climbing gym left her with incomplete paralysis below the hips. In 2018, Soens became the first woman with paraplegia to summit Mt. Hood, which she did with her father, and she is the first person to descend its summit using a sit-ski.    Soens joins us to share her remarkable athletic journey and hopes for her Paralympic races.

As the penultimate episode in my 2026 Black History Month series, I revisit the stories of African American performers who, for a variety of reasons, including seeking to improve their increase their opportunities as artists of color, made their way to Europe in the 1950s and 1960s. Today the focus is on the low-voiced males, baritones, bass-baritones, and basses, in a variety of musical genres, who found success overseas. Surely the most famous of these is the great operatic baritone Lawrence Winters, who leads off the episode, but there were many others as well, some in opera, some in pop music, and some in that magical and confusing world in between, who also experienced life in its fullness, not just in Germany, but in Austria, Italy, and Norway as well. A few of these singers, among them Kenneth Spencer and Thomas Carey, are still somewhat remembered today. Far too many others are virtually forgotten. Among those we also discuss William Ray, Owen Williams, Henry Wright, William Pearson, George Goodman, and Allan Evans. The musical selections are primarily focused on pop music and crossover, with some fascinating exceptions. Even within this somewhat circumscribed musical palette, however, there is much variety to be experienced, and celebrated. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Alex rips into FBI Director Kash Patel for jetting off to Italy to celebrate with the U.S. Olympic hockey team — even chugging beer with them after their gold-medal win — while back home the FBI hasn't opened real investigations into the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good and racked up what critics call outrageous expenses. Alex argues it's a disgrace that Patel is partying abroad as serious cases go unresolved and taxpayers pick up the bill.
