Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 13 Agosto 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Fisco, Manovra e finanza pubblicaTestate: Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Il Sole 24 Ore / MF- La Manovra 2027 entra nella fase decisiva con un fabbisogno indicato in oltre 30 miliardi di euro e, nelle ricostruzioni più ampie, con un perimetro di spesa vicino a 36 miliardi nel triennio. Il dossier più sensibile resta il nuovo taglio dell'IRPEF al ceto medio, con l'ipotesi di ridurre l'aliquota dal 43% al 33% per i redditi tra 50.000 e 60.000 euro, per un costo stimato intorno a 2,7 miliardi.- Sul tavolo figurano anche contratti pubblici, social card, energia, pensioni, sanità e difesa. Il Governo punta a utilizzare circa 14 miliardi di nuova capacità di spesa per energia e difesa, mentre il resto delle coperture dovrà essere ricomposto nel quadro europeo.- La componente sociale resta rilevante: vengono indicati almeno 5 miliardi per la sanità e circa 2 miliardi per il rinnovo dei contratti pubblici, insieme alla conferma della tassazione al 5% sui rinnovi e alla possibilità di introdurre misure una tantum per giovani e donne.- Sul fronte delle entrate torna l'ipotesi di un contributo straordinario del 5% sugli utili delle principali banche. Intesa Sanpaolo e UniCredit avrebbero generato insieme una base di circa 12 miliardi di utili semestrali, mentre per l'intero sistema degli intermediari la stima citata si colloca tra 30 e 40 miliardi.- Il vero punto di attenzione per mercati e investitori non è quindi la dimensione nominale della Manovra, ma la qualità delle coperture e la capacità di finanziare gli interventi senza compromettere credito, deficit e credibilità fiscale.Inflazione, energia e potere d'acquistoTestate: Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Il Sole 24 Ore / MF- L'inflazione italiana di luglio viene rivista al rialzo al 2,9% su base annua e allo 0,3% mensile. L'inflazione acquisita per il 2026 raggiunge il 2,7%, con una dinamica dei prezzi meno uniforme rispetto ai mesi precedenti.- Il carrello della spesa mostra segnali di rallentamento, mentre servizi, trasporti ed energia continuano a esercitare una pressione più significativa sui bilanci familiari.- L'energia regolamentata aumenta del 14,8% su base annua e del 6,5% nel solo mese di luglio, mentre sul mercato libero l'elettricità registra un incremento del 9,7%.- Benzina e gasolio salgono rispettivamente di circa 8% e 18,8% su base annua, mentre i trasporti aumentano del 4,3%. Per una famiglia di quattro persone viene stimato un aggravio complessivo di circa 1.020 euro.- La pressione è particolarmente concentrata nei servizi turistici. Alberghi e ristorazione registrano aumenti superiori al 3%, mentre gli affitti brevi salgono del 9% in Liguria e del 7,6% in Sardegna.- Sul territorio, la Calabria registra l'inflazione regionale più elevata con +3,5%, seguita da Campania +3,3%, Puglia e Sicilia +3,2%. Tra le grandi città spiccano Reggio Calabria +4%, Napoli e Catania +3,4%.Energia, petrolio e rischio HormuzTestate: Repubblica / Corriere della Sera- Il mercato petrolifero resta strutturalmente teso. L'Agenzia Internazionale dell'Energia stima un deficit di circa 1,8 milioni di barili al giorno, mentre la produzione russa viene indicata in forte contrazione.- Le scorte globali hanno recuperato soltanto parzialmente. Il quadro combina quindi consumi in ripresa e un'offerta relativamente poco elastica, aumentando la sensibilità delle quotazioni a ogni nuovo shock geopolitico.- Il gas europeo resta intorno ai 60 euro per MWh sul TTF di Amsterdam, livello che continua a incidere direttamente sulla competitività delle imprese energivore e sui costi di trasporto.- Resta inoltre il rischio di un prolungamento della chiusura dello Stretto di Hormuz. In uno scenario persistente, l'impatto si trasferirebbe rapidamente su greggio, benzina, gasolio, prodotti raffinati e margini industriali.- Per le imprese, il tema energetico non è quindi soltanto macroeconomico: coperture, diversificazione geografica degli approvvigionamenti e gestione dei contratti diventano vere decisioni di tesoreria.Banche, M&A e corporate Italia-GermaniaTestate: Corriere della Sera / La Stampa- L'Italia continua a rafforzare la propria presenza industriale e finanziaria in Germania. Da inizio 2023 a luglio 2026 vengono contabilizzate 100 operazioni tra M&A e accordi commerciali, per un valore complessivo di 17,8 miliardi di euro.- Oltre l'80% del valore è riconducibile alla scalata UniCredit-Commerzbank, pari a circa 14,9 miliardi di euro per il 47,6% dell'istituto tedesco.- Il confronto storico è significativo: tra 2015 e 2022 le operazioni italiane in Germania valevano 9,5 miliardi, contro 7,7 miliardi di operazioni tedesche in Italia. Il rapporto si sta quindi progressivamente ribaltando.- La pipeline comprende anche l'accordo da 3,6 miliardi di euro tra Italo e Siemens per 26 nuovi treni ad Alta Velocità, l'espansione di MFE in ProSiebenSat.1, l'acquisizione di Centrotec Climate Systems da parte di Ariston e quella di Heidelberg Engineering da parte di EssilorLuxottica.- La BCE non porrebbe un veto all'operazione UniCredit-Commerzbank, ma sottolinea la complessità dell'integrazione e la necessità di preservare un coefficiente patrimoniale vicino al 12,5%.- Il quadro complessivo è positivo: la maggiore solidità patrimoniale di alcune imprese e banche italiane consente oggi di trasformare la relativa debolezza tedesca in un'opportunità di consolidamento continentale.Intelligenza Artificiale, mercati e portafogli obbligazionariTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / MF / Corriere della Sera- La corsa all'Intelligenza Artificiale comincia a produrre effetti rilevanti anche sul mercato obbligazionario. Per il 2026 vengono stimate emissioni di debito legate all'AI per circa 360 miliardi di dollari, di cui circa 300 miliardi riconducibili alle Big Tech.- L'aumento dell'offerta di obbligazioni può esercitare pressione sulla curva dei Treasury. Il rendimento del decennale potrebbe aumentare di circa 10 punti base, mentre le scadenze più lunghe risultano ancora più sensibili.- Il Treasury a 20 anni viene indicato intorno al 5,23%, contro circa il 4,5% di fine giugno. La crescita del capex AI viene quindi finanziata sempre più attraverso debito di lunga durata.- Per gli investitori emerge un rischio specifico: la vita economica degli asset AI può essere molto più breve della durata dei finanziamenti utilizzati per costruirli. La selezione della duration diventa quindi centrale.- Sul mercato azionario la tecnologia continua però a guidare la crescita: Nvidia sale del 2,5%, Micron del 6,5%, mentre il Nasdaq risulta il migliore tra i principali indici americani. In Italia, il FTSE MIB supera per la prima volta quota 53.000 punti.- Il quadro resta quindi favorevole all'AI, ma cresce il rischio di concentrazione sia nel mercato azionario sia nel credito corporate.Fondo sovrano norvegese e gestione del capitaleTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / MF / Corriere della Sera- Il Fondo sovrano norvegese registra nel primo semestre 2026 circa 160 miliardi di euro di utili, con un rendimento del 9,4%.- Il patrimonio complessivo supera 2.380 miliardi di dollari, con il 72,1% investito in azioni globali, circa il 26% in obbligazioni governative e il restante 2% in immobili commerciali e infrastrutture.- Tra le esposizioni tecnologiche figurano Nvidia, Alphabet e TSMC, confermando come anche un investitore estremamente diversificato mantenga una presenza significativa nei principali vincitori del ciclo AI.- La regola fiscale norvegese consente prelievi annuali intorno al 3% del patrimonio. Circa il 20-25% del bilancio dello Stato viene così finanziato dai trasferimenti del fondo.- Il modello norvegese resta uno dei principali esempi di disciplina intergenerazionale: trasformare una rendita temporanea in capitale permanente attraverso diversificazione, regole di prelievo e orizzonte di lungo periodo.Immobiliare, wealth e protezione del patrimonioTestate: Repubblica- Nel mercato residenziale italiano emerge un problema crescente di sostenibilità economica delle operazioni di demolizione e ricostruzione. In molti Comuni, i costi degli interventi superano i ricavi potenzialmente ottenibili dalla vendita.- Milano rappresenta un'eccezione grazie a valori immobiliari molto elevati. Il prezzo medio di vendita viene indicato intorno a 6.663 euro al metro quadrato, mentre il costo di ristrutturazione è vicino a 1.300 euro e quello di demolizione e ricostruzione può raggiungere 2.200 euro.- Nelle città medie e piccole, invece, agevolazioni fiscali e Piano casa non sono sempre sufficienti a rendere economicamente sostenibili le operazioni.- Il rischio è una progressiva obsolescenza immobiliare nelle aree con domanda più debole, mentre le città con infrastrutture, servizi e domanda stabile continueranno ad attrarre capitali e interventi.- Sul segmento ultra-high-net-worth emerge inoltre una crescente domanda di asset legati a sicurezza e protezione patrimoniale. In Svizzera alcune grotte e bunker della Guerra Fredda vengono offerte in leasing per 99 anni a circa 1 milione di franchi.

For many people – including Charlie and Nate – studying classical piano as a child always felt like a chore. Now, as adults, there's a newfound appreciation for classical music, but the art form isn't always accessible. One of the people trying to change that is the world-renowned pianist Lang Lang, classical piano's greatest interpreter. On this episode of Switched on Pop, Charlie sits down with Lang Lang at the Steinway showroom in New York City to see how taste changes over time, the different ways a master pianist can interpret a work, and ultimately, why classical music is still important.

Adam grew up in Northeast Ohio, where he attended Cleveland State University (2006). Formally studying classical percussion throughout his education, Adam also actively performed as a freelancer on drum set — his classical background combined with his drum set skills gave him a unique blend that turned out to be very well-suited for musical theater.After playing its out-of-town tryout at Houston's Alley Theatre, Adam had his Broadway debut as the drummer on Frank Wildhorn's WONDERLAND when it transferred to Broadway (Spring 2011). OBCR on Sony Masterworks.With his foot in the door from his first Broadway show, Adam set about the work of subbing and building a reputation in and around the city. Subbing on NYC productions as diverse as RENT, EVITA, MATILDA the Musical, AVENUE Q, CATS, HELLO DOLLY, ANASTASIA, THE PROM, WEST SIDE STORY, COME FROM AWAY, and LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS — and many more — Adam routinely demonstrates a wide-ranging versatility. A unique hybrid player, Adam is equally at home on drum set and percussion, excelling in situations that demand both contemporary drum set styles and legit classical/orchestral sensibilities.Adam's most recent NYC chairs include 2017's BANDSTAND on Broadway (TONY Nomination for Best Orchestrations, TONY WINNER for Best Choreography), Jerry Springer the Opera, and Between the Lines with acclaimed writers Samsel & Anderson — where Adam not only played drums and percussion but helped create the percussive mix elements. Adam is often found developing new works in NYC's rehearsal studios, working with established and new writing teams whenever possible.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with pianist Floyd Domino for a conversation about Western swing, boogie-woogie, jazz, musical identity, and a career spent supporting some of the most important artists in music.Floyd talks about beginning piano lessons at five years old, moving from classical study into jazz, and developing the unusual independence that allows his left hand to establish the foundation while his right hand tells the story. We discuss the pianists who influenced him, including Count Basie, Oscar Peterson, Moon Mullican, Jerry Lee Lewis, Al Stricklin, Pete Johnson, Jay McShann, Hank Jones, Ralph Sutton, and Kenny Barron.We also trace Floyd's path into Asleep at the Wheel, which began with an unexpected audition after a period of playing bars in Montana. Floyd explains how his jazz background helped move the band further toward Western swing and how musicians including Al Stricklin, Eldon Shamblin, Johnny Gimble, Ralph Mooney, and other pioneers taught his generation to respect tradition while still developing an individual voice.Floyd shares stories from his work with Waylon Jennings and George Strait, including his decision not to study George Strait's earlier records before entering the studio. Instead, he chose to trust the reason he had been hired and bring his own musical personality to the sessions. We talk about the responsibility of a sideman, the challenge of staying out of the bass player's range, and the advice he received that a musician's real job is to make everyone else in the band sound better.Our conversation also explores Floyd's children's recordings, beginning with the Beatles-inspired Baby Road. He recalls recording at Jack Clement's Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa, being told that the project needed a bass player, and discovering that the available musician was Edgar Meyer. Floyd also discusses working with members of The Crickets and forming the Floyd Domino All-Stars with musicians including Emily Gimble and Danny Levin.Key TakeawaysFloyd believes the first requirement of Western swing is that it must genuinely swing.Musical identity matters as much as technical accuracy; the pioneers encouraged younger players to absorb the tradition without becoming imitations.Floyd's two-handed piano style depends on watching the patterns in his left hand while listening closely to the melodic ideas in his right.His jazz background helped bring a stronger swing influence into Asleep at the Wheel.Floyd entered his George Strait sessions determined to sound like himself rather than copy the pianist from an earlier record.A good sideman listens for what is missing, stays out of other musicians' way, and works to make the entire band sound better.The children's album Baby Road began as a way to present strong melodies simply, without allowing arrangement or ego to overwhelm the songs.Music from the EpisodeThe Mess Around - Floyd DominoBob's Breakdown - Asleep at the WheelHouse of Blue Lights - Asleep at the WheelAce in the Hole - George StraitI Will - Floyd DominoAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a music interview podcast hosted by Brad Williams.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 10 Agosto 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Demografia, lavoro, produttività e sostenibilità del welfareTestate: Repubblica / Il FoglioLa denatalità italiana assume ormai una dimensione pienamente economica. Nel 2025 sono nati circa 355.000 bambini, contro 370.000 nel 2024, mentre i decessi sono stati circa 652.000. Il saldo naturale risulta quindi negativo per quasi 300.000 persone in un solo anno.Il numero medio di figli per donna è sceso a 1,14, molto lontano dalla soglia di sostituzione di circa 2,1. Parallelamente, una lavoratrice su cinque lascia o riduce la propria attività dopo la nascita del primo figlio e quasi il 50% delle donne teme ripercussioni professionali legate alla maternità.Il problema centrale riguarda la futura disponibilità di lavoratori. Entro il 2035 la popolazione italiana tra 15 e 64 anni potrebbe diminuire di oltre 3 milioni di persone. Guardando al 2050, la popolazione in età lavorativa potrebbe scendere da circa 37,2 milioni a meno di 30 milioni.La Banca d'Italia, secondo il dossier citato, stima che il solo declino demografico possa sottrarre circa 5% di PIL potenziale entro il 2035. Meno lavoratori significano minore capacità produttiva, maggiore scarsità di competenze e più pressione su pensioni, sanità e finanza pubblica.L'immigrazione diventa quindi parte integrante della politica economica. Nel 2025 il saldo migratorio positivo, circa 296.000 persone, avrebbe compensato quasi interamente il deficit naturale. Tra il 2019 e il 2024 l'Italia avrebbe inoltre perso circa 78.000 giovani laureati italiani, registrando contemporaneamente un saldo positivo di circa 88.000 laureati stranieri.Famiglie, risparmio, ricchezza e mercato immobiliareTestata: Il Sole 24 OreLa ricchezza mondiale continua ad aumentare, ma soltanto una parte limitata deriva da investimenti reali. Il Global Balance Sheet di McKinsey stima un patrimonio globale vicino a 1.800 trilioni di dollari, mentre la ricchezza delle famiglie raggiunge circa 570 trilioni.L'Italia dispone di un importante punto di forza: elevata ricchezza privata e basso indebitamento delle famiglie. La ricchezza netta italiana viene indicata in circa 13 trilioni di dollari, mentre la principale vulnerabilità del Paese resta concentrata sul debito pubblico.La grande sfida consiste nel trasformare una quota maggiore di questa ricchezza in capitale produttivo, infrastrutture, innovazione e proprietà intellettuale, invece di concentrarla prevalentemente in immobili e attività finanziarie.Sul fronte dei mutui, le nuove generazioni rappresentano ormai circa il 40% delle richieste totali di credito. Il Fondo Prima Casa continua a sostenere gli under 36 e l'estensione della garanzia Consap fino a 40 anni amplia ulteriormente la capacità finanziaria di chi acquista casa.§La garanzia rafforzata è stata prorogata fino al 31 dicembre 2027. Tra i parametri citati figurano un ISEE fino a 40.000 euro per gli under 36, con soglie più elevate per le famiglie numerose.Il quadro monetario torna però meno favorevole: dopo il rialzo BCE di 25 punti base di giugno, il tasso è salito al 2,25%, mentre il mercato riportato dal giornale incorporava la possibilità di ulteriori aumenti nei mesi successivi.Materie prime critiche, terre rare e sicurezza delle filiereTestata: La StampaL'Italia accelera sulla diversificazione delle materie prime strategiche puntando soprattutto sull'Australia occidentale. È prevista per ottobre la firma di un memorandum destinato a favorire accordi industriali tra imprese italiane e australiane.L'obiettivo riguarda magneti permanenti, motori elettrici, tecnologie energetiche, droni e applicazioni militari, tutti comparti nei quali l'accesso alle materie prime è diventato un fattore determinante di competitività.La concentrazione cinese rimane molto elevata. Secondo l'articolo, Pechino controlla circa il 90% della produzione mondiale di magneti permanenti ed è il principale polo di raffinazione e trasformazione delle terre rare.Nel 2024 l'Italia avrebbe importato materie prime critiche per circa 12,7 miliardi di euro, con oltre il 90% del valore relativo a materiali già raffinati. Il 54% delle importazioni proveniva da appena dieci Paesi.L'accordo con l'Australia rappresenta quindi una strategia concreta di de-risking industriale: non soltanto sicurezza delle forniture, ma possibilità per le imprese italiane di entrare nelle fasi a maggior valore aggiunto, dalla raffinazione alla componentistica.Energia, petrolio e rischio geopoliticoTestate: Repubblica / Libero / La Verità / La StampaLo Stretto di Hormuz rimane una delle principali variabili di rischio per energia e inflazione. L'Iran segnala che un'eventuale intesa con gli Stati Uniti non comporterebbe automaticamente la riapertura dello Stretto, collegando la decisione anche a sanzioni e presenza militare americana.Prima del conflitto transitavano attraverso Hormuz circa 14,8 milioni di barili di petrolio al giorno. Nell'ultimo dato riportato il volume sarebbe sceso a circa 5,3 milioni.Parallelamente aumentano i flussi sulle rotte alternative: attraverso Yanbu/Petroline si passa da circa 1,4 a 4,1 milioni di barili al giorno, mentre Fujairah sale da 1,2 a 2,1 milioni.L'Arabia Saudita valuta inoltre una nuova rotta terrestre verso Israele, attraverso un oleodotto di circa 700 chilometri capace di collegare il sistema saudita al Mediterraneo, aggirando sia Hormuz sia Bab el-Mandeb.La crisi evidenzia anche la necessità di ricostituire rapidamente le scorte militari occidentali. Il Pentagono avrebbe dato all'industria 21 giorni per predisporre piani di accelerazione delle consegne, mentre Lockheed Martin avrebbe ricevuto una commessa da 58,6 miliardi di dollari per aumentare la produzione di sistemi Patriot.Sul fronte italiano viene richiamata la possibilità di utilizzare fino a 14 miliardi di euro di flessibilità europea per interventi energetici. La sicurezza energetica entra quindi definitivamente nella politica industriale.Infrastrutture, PNRR e modernizzazione ferroviariaTestata: L'IdentitàRFI entra nella fase più intensa degli investimenti legati al PNRR, con circa 1.300 cantieri attivi ogni giorno tra grandi opere, manutenzione straordinaria e aggiornamento tecnologico.Nel 2025 Rete Ferroviaria Italiana ha realizzato investimenti per circa 11,6 miliardi di euro, confermando il ruolo delle infrastrutture ferroviarie tra i capitoli più concreti del Piano.Agosto rappresenta uno dei mesi più intensi per i lavori, con interventi sulla Verona-Vicenza, sulla nuova AV/AC Milano-Bologna, sulla Firenze-Roma e su diversi altri assi strategici.Entro il 2027 vengono indicate, tra le altre opere, l'entrata in servizio della AV/AC Brescia-Verona, l'attivazione dei primi collegamenti convenzionali dotati di ERTMS e il potenziamento di numerosi nodi ferroviari.L'obiettivo dichiarato è aumentare del 30% la quota di popolazione raggiunta dall'Alta Velocità. Digitalizzazione della rete, elettrificazione e maggiore capacità rappresentano investimenti con potenziali effetti pluridecennali sulla produttività italiana.Turismo, overtourism e capacità produttivaTestata: Il FoglioIl periodo di Ferragosto muove circa 17,4 milioni di turisti, genera oltre 78 milioni di pernottamenti e produce un impatto economico superiore a 15 miliardi di euro.Il dato conferma la forza strutturale del turismo italiano, ma evidenzia contemporaneamente una forte concentrazione stagionale. Circa il 20% delle vacanze degli italiani continua a concentrarsi nel mese di agosto.Gli hotel raggiungono quasi il 75% di occupazione, mentre circa uno su otto risulta overbooked.La concentrazione non produce soltanto overtourism, ma anche sottoutilizzo di capitale, strutture e lavoro durante il resto dell'anno.Una maggiore distribuzione delle ferie e dei flussi turistici potrebbe quindi aumentare l'utilizzo delle infrastrutture già esistenti e sostenere la crescita senza richiedere necessariamente grandi quantità di nuovo capitale.Cripto-asset, riciclaggio e regolamentazione finanziariaTestata: La VeritàBlockchain, mixer, exchange esteri e piattaforme decentralizzate hanno modificato profondamente le tecniche di riciclaggio. Le stime UNODC richiamate nel dossier indicano un valore globale potenziale compreso tra 800 e 2.000 miliardi di dollari all'anno.Per l'Italia viene richiamata un'economia sommersa di circa 200 miliardi di euro nel 2022, pari a circa il 10% del PIL, con quasi 20 miliardi direttamente riconducibili ad attività criminali.Più di 2 milioni di clienti italiani deterrebbero complessivamente circa 2 miliardi di euro in criptovalute.Il punto centrale è però che Bitcoin e le principali blockchain non sono realmente anonime: gli indirizzi sono pseudonimi, ma la cronologia delle transazioni resta pubblica e tracciabile.Il passaggio tra criptovalute e moneta tradizionale tramite intermediari regolamentati rappresenta quindi uno dei principali punti di controllo.

Pianist Bruce Liu’s new album ‘Lunaris’ is just out from Deutsche Grammophon – it explores the cosmos, the moon and the stars through music, taking in music by Chopin, Beethoven, Scriabin, Mompou, Agnes Obel and others. Gramophone’s James Jolly caught up with Bruce Liu in Canada earlier this year and, as well as talking about ‘Lunaris’, they discussed the aftermath of Bruce’s Chopin Competition win, and which of the Tchaikovsky piano concertos is his favourite.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On episode 167 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by film critic Nadia Dalimonte to discuss the next film in their Jane Campion series, The Piano (1993). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. The Director Watch duo have reached the crown jewel of Campion's career with The Piano, a titanic epic about a mute Scottish woman who travels to a remote part of New Zealand with her young daughter after her arranged marriage to a settler and begins an affair with another man. In doing this, the woman manipulates both men, using her silence as a tool to gain power in a time of struggle, in an environment that's not of her choosing or familiarity. Campion creates a defining, thorny masterpiece of its time, exploring the ideas of identity, control, and lust within her biggest hit to date. Ryan, Jay, and Nadia break down their thoughts on the film, Hunter's magnificent performance, The Piano's connection to a pervious film series the guys covered, the film's gorgeous ending, the embrace of Campion's vision by audiences, and all the reasons why this is such a special film. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 1h59m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Jane Campion with a review of her next film, The Portrait of a Lady. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

Chosen by Dylan, Once Were Warriors was adapted from Alan Duff's bestselling 1990 novel by screenwriter Riwia Brown. Made for approximately NZ$2 million and filmed over a demanding six-week shoot, it marked the feature-directing debut of Lee Tamahori. Much of the production took place around Ōtara in South Auckland, grounding the film's urban Māori setting in real locations rather than a carefully polished studio version of New Zealand. Rena Owen and Temuera Morrison lead the cast as Beth and Jake Heke, supported by Julian Arahanga, Mamaengaroa Kerr-Bell, Taungaroa Emile and Cliff Curtis.The film became a major domestic success, earning approximately NZ$6.7 million and setting a new record at the New Zealand box office. It swept nine categories at the 1994 New Zealand Film Awards and collected further honours at festivals including Montreal, Durban, Venice and Rotterdam. Its international acclaim launched Tamahori towards Hollywood and helped raise the global profiles of Owen, Morrison and Curtis. More than three decades later, it remains one of New Zealand cinema's most influential, confronting and difficult-to-forget films. Definitely not one to throw on when the family asks for “something light.”TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISIn the streets of South Auckland… one family is fighting a war that nobody outside their home can see.Beth Heke dreams of holding her family together. But her husband Jake is a man of charm, pride and explosive rage—and when the drinking starts, their home becomes a battleground.As their children search for belonging in gangs, institutions and the traditions of their ancestors, Beth must rediscover the strength of the people she came from. This time… being a warrior means knowing what is worth fighting for.FUN FACTSOnce Were Warriors opened in only four New Zealand cinemas, yet still earned a record-breaking NZ$114,000 during its opening run.The house used as the Heke family home was a real state house on O'Connor Street in Ōtara.Local residents reportedly complained about the noise generated while the production filmed the Hekes' late-night parties.Producer Robin Scholes had previously worked mainly in television; this became the first feature released by Communicado Productions.Stuart Dryburgh's cinematography helped him build an international career that later included The Piano, The Painted Veil and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.Temuera Morrison later became internationally recognised as Jango Fett and the clone troopers in the Star Wars franchise.Rena Owen also joined the Star Wars universe, appearing in Attack of the Clones and providing additional voices for the film.Cliff Curtis has portrayed characters from numerous ethnic backgrounds throughout his career, but Once Were Warriors gave him one of his earliest major New Zealand film roles.A sequel, What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?, arrived in 1999, with Morrison and several other cast members returning.A twentieth-anniversary documentary, Once Were the Cast of Warriors, reunited members of the cast in 2014 to examine the film's impact and what happened after its release.SUPPORT THE SHOW If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

Hermann Göring fu molto più del comandante della Luftwaffe. Asso dell'aviazione durante la Prima guerra mondiale, entrò presto nell'orbita di Adolf Hitler e divenne uno degli uomini decisivi nell'ascesa e nel consolidamento del regime nazista. Presidente del Reichstag, ministro dell'Aviazione, comandante in capo della Luftwaffe, responsabile del Piano quadriennale e per anni successore designato del Führer, Göring accumulò un potere enorme. Fu protagonista del riarmo tedesco, della costruzione della nuova forza aerea del Reich e dell'economia di guerra, ma anche della repressione politica, della persecuzione degli ebrei e del sistematico saccheggio dei territori occupati. Dietro l'immagine pubblica del gerarca amante del lusso, delle uniformi spettacolari, dell'arte e degli eccessi si nascondeva uno degli uomini centrali del sistema di potere nazista. Ma le vittorie iniziali della Luftwaffe lasciarono progressivamente spazio ai fallimenti, dalla Battaglia d'Inghilterra alla progressiva perdita della superiorità aerea tedesca, mentre il rapporto privilegiato con Hitler cominciava a deteriorarsi. Negli ultimi giorni del Terzo Reich, Göring tentò di assumere la guida della Germania sulla base della successione che lo stesso Hitler aveva stabilito anni prima. La reazione del Führer fu durissima: destituzione, arresto e perdita di ogni potere. Catturato dagli americani nel maggio 1945, Göring divenne poi il più importante gerarca nazista sul banco degli imputati al Processo di Norimberga. Condannato a morte per impiccagione, riuscì infine a sottrarsi al boia: il 15 ottobre 1946, poche ore prima dell'esecuzione, si suicidò nella sua cella ingerendo una capsula di cianuro. In questo video ripercorriamo la straordinaria e terribile parabola di Hermann Göring: dal giovane aviatore della Grande Guerra ai vertici del Terzo Reich, dalla creazione della Luftwaffe alla guerra mondiale, fino al crollo del regime e all'ultimo confronto con i vincitori a Norimberga.

 Four years ago, a Portland Jewish family’s home was destroyed in an arson. As they got rid of all their burned belongings, the one thing they couldn’t bear to do was toss out with the rest of the burned remains a 100 year-old Steinway grand piano that had belonged to “Grandma Bess.” Much of it was intact, though not restorable. They reached out to musicians and artists and ultimately found their way to Jennifer Wright. She’s a classical pianist by training, a composer and a sound artist who works with found instruments and other objects.    The family, who wants to keep their identity private, worked with Wright over the following two  years on turning the grand piano into a mixed media exhibit, including a newly formed glass piano and textile art made with the burned strings. In a statement that is included in the exhibit, the family wrote: “Seeing the piano transformed from a burned and destroyed object into the foundations of new instruments, furniture, art, beauty, and community awareness is a balm for the wounds of waste and loss. … Finding connectedness is an antidote to hate.”   We listen back to our visit to the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education to see the mixed media exhibit and talk with artist Jennifer Wright and OJMCHE director Rebekha Sobel. This segment originally aired on May 31, 2024.  

Rick MalteseTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Toronto's own Rick Maltese. Rick is a jazz pianist, composer, songwriter, and singer. In this episode, we chat about how he first got into jazz, and being a Canadian, that wasn't an easy task! We discuss some of his early influences, including his dad, and some of the greats. I do dig into where he gained the confidence to learn to play an instrument as an early age. We talk about some of the different styles of piano playing and why he started playing The Beatles songs as jazz tunes! Next, I ask him about the various brands and types of pianos, and which are his favorites. Rick shares some of the reasons behind why he decided to write lyrics to accompany his music, as well as why he wrote them in a manner that advocates for social consciousness. Rick has fairly recently released 3 albums of new music with some of his friends. Rick Maltese and Friends Vol 1, 2, & 3 are out now and available just about everywhere. Volume 1 is actually released under The RGB Trio. The other members include George Koller, Ben Wittman, and Bill McBirnie. Rick is kind enough to let me play 2 songs from 2 different albums in this episode, and he explains in depth what each of them is about and why he felt the need to write them. Check out Rick's website for more details on where the music can be found, and for any upcoming live dates

Today, I welcomed author Alex Norman to the podcast to talk about his book on De Havilland's Moth and the thrilling world of aviation in the 1920s and 30s, a period with such wonderful links to Highclere. Alex shared his own family's connections to early flying, including his grandfather's aircraft and involvement in the London Aeroplane Club and explained how Geoffrey de Havilland's ingenuity helped by Frank Halford's lightweight Cirrus engine made the DH60 Moth a breakthrough for private pilots. We explored how government-subsidised flying clubs, adventurous women and men and the freedom of the skies fuelled record-breaking journeys, from Lady Bailey and Amy Johnson to the Aga Khan Trophy winner Aspy Engineer. We ended with Alex's dream dance partner: the remarkable aviator Beryl Markham.00:56 The de Havilland Family Connection04:33 Building the First Aeroplane05:05 Post-War Aviation & The Birth of the Moth11:35 The Private Flying Movement & Aeroplane Clubs14:47 Women in Aviation & Record-Breaking Adventures16:47 The Aga Khan Trophy & Aspi Engineer21:03 The de Havilland Legacy & The Mosquito21:59 Dream Party Guest: Beryl MarkhamYou can hear more episodes of Lady Carnarvon's Official Podcasts at https://www.ladycarnarvon.com/podcast/New episodes are published on the first day of every month.

A new vaccine to tackle Ebola will now be tested on people after the UK regulator gave permission for trials to take place. University of Oxford scientists began developing the vaccine - aimed at tackling the Bundibugyo species of the virus - eight weeks ago, when a public health emergency was declared by the World Health Organization. It is the first - out of four vaccines under development - to enter clinical trials. The epidemic, centred on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has killed more than 700 people. Also: the dispute over who controls the Strait of Hormuz has intensified with some of the heaviest exchanges of fire since the US and Iran agreed an interim peace deal last month. The Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has visited the wildfire zone in the southern province of Almería, where 13 people have died. Almost 3 million people in China have been evacuated from their homes as a result of Typhoon Bavi. The actor Sam Neill, known for films such as Jurassic Park and the Piano, has died at the age of 78.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

The book Sam Neill wrote for himself... and shared with the rest of us. Sam Neill spent nearly five decades becoming one of cinema's most dependable actors, from Jurassic Park and The Hunt for Red October to Event Horizon, The Piano, and dozens of films in between. Following Neill's passing, Arnie looks back at the actor's 2023 memoir, Did I Ever Tell You This? Written during treatment for a life-threatening cancer diagnosis, the book becomes far more than another celebrity autobiography. Instead of Hollywood gossip or behind-the-scenes stories, Neill reflects on friendship, family, cars, dogs, wine, aging, and what really mattered to him. Join us for a tribute to a remarkable actor and an even more remarkable man.
