In questa puntata di Mille Pare, Anna Tatangelo ripercorre con Alessia Lanza la sua storia, dalla periferia al successo: l'infanzia da maschiaccio, l'adolescenza saltata a pie' pari dopo il primo Festival di Sanremo, l'enorme popolarità e i pregiudizi vissuti durante tutta la carriera, il rapporto con i genitori e i fratelli, il legame speciale con il figlio Andrea e la connessione con i suoi “Tatangeles”. Rispetto al passato, oggi la cantante è in una fase più spensierata… anche se le sue pare sono rimaste esattamente le stesse di sempre!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Genovese, pungente, diretto e con quel pizzico di cinismo che lo contraddistingue, nella vita come nel lavoro. Insieme a Paolo forma uno dei duo comici italiani più amati di sempre. Ebbene sì, Luca Bizzarri è passato dal BSMT. Con Paolo Kessisoglu ha formato una delle coppie comiche più iconiche della televisione: Le Iene, Camera Café, Mai Dire Gol, Sanremo, MTV Trip, Immaturi, Quelli che il calcio... e chi più ne ha ne metta. Ma non è “solo” una metà della coppia comica più folle della tv italiana. Dall'Accademia d'Arte Drammatica di Genova alla comicità in tv, dalle copertine satiriche ai monologhi teatrali, dal cinema ai podcast: Luca è tante cose.È anche teatro vero, testi impegnati, tragedie classiche. È uno che ha cominciato a 15 anni sul palco e non ha mai smesso di mettersi in gioco. È uno che ti fa ridere con eleganza, che non ha paura di dire quello che pensa, che scrive, osserva, racconta. Che si muove tra ironia e riflessione, tra satira e attualità, sempre con quello stile lì: intelligente, sottile, mai banale. Preparatevi a una chiacchierata in cui si ride, si pensa, si ricorda con nostalgia e si guarda il presente con occhi lucidi e disincantati. Perché Luca è una voce critica, necessaria, lucidissima. Anche quando ti strappa una risata. Buona visione! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Marco Rossari"Piccolo dizionario delle malattie letterarie"Einaudi Editorewww.einaudi.itI libri sono una febbre bellissima, e tutti noi ne siamo malati. Ma che succede quando vi viene la sindrome di Salinger? E che cos'è l'intellettualite? Avete mai avuto il complesso di Henry Miller o la paranoia di Pessoa? E il flaubertismo, o il singhiozzo di Dickinson? Compilando questo breve, fulminante dizionario, Marco Rossari ci racconta cosa significhi esser contagiati dal virus delle parole. Perché è vero che la letteratura è spesso un portentoso medicinale, ma nessuno ci aveva mai detto che le controindicazioni possono essere pericolose e divertentissime.Con intelligenza e sarcasmo, Marco Rossari stila un elenco curioso ed esilarante di tic, compulsioni, vizi, vezzi e malattie immaginarie contratte da chi, nella vita, ha scelto di dedicarsi anima e corpo ai libri. Troverete l'antidepressivo Sedaris, il morbo di Bernhard, i medicamenti fasulli dell'autopubblicazione, la plaquette come forma di infezione batterica contratta tramite enjambement e la bukowskite, che sappiamo di avere quando ci svegliamo dopo una sbronza e improvvisamente ci sentiamo scrittori. E poi la temutissima sindrome di Franzen e quella adolescenziale di Siddharta, il borgesismo come forma acuta di labirintite. Chi contrae l'intellettualite legge Bachtin mentre tutta l'Italia guarda Sanremo, invece chi romanza troppo la propria vita potrebbe aver preso il morbo di Zeno… Pubblicato per la prima volta da Italo Svevo Edizioni nel 2016, torna in una nuova versione rivista e ampliata questo divertissement acuminato, perfetto per chi è capace di non prendersi troppo sul serio. Da sfogliare e leggere ad alta voce, da conservare come un talismano e consultare come un oracolo – anzi, un bugiardino.Marco Rossari ha pubblicato per Einaudi i romanzi Nel cuore della notte (2018) e L'ombra del vulcano (2023) e Piccolo dizionario delle malattie letterarie (2025). Nel 2019 ha pubblicato il volume di poesie Le bambinacce (Feltrinelli) a quattro mani con Veronica Raimo. Ha tradotto e curato opere di Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Truman Capote, Anthony Burgess, Charles Dickens, Joseph Conrad, George Orwell e tanti altri. Ha curato l'antologia Racconti da ridere (Einaudi 2017). Scrive per numerose testate e insegna alla scuola Belleville di Milano.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Though it lacks large cities, Umbria more than makes up for it with breathtaking natural beauty, medieval towns, and a rich culinary tradition.One of Umbria's most impressive sights is the Cascata delle Marmore (Marmore Falls)—the second tallest waterfall in Europe. Nature lovers and photographers alike will be amazed by its dramatic 165-meter drop. The region is also home to Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis, one of Italy's most revered saints, and a major pilgrimage destination.Food lovers will delight in Umbria's hearty, earthy cuisine, featuring lentils, mushroom-based dishes, cured meats, and the prized black truffle (Tartufo Nero di Norcia).

No visit would be complete without tasting Olive all'Ascolana, fried stuffed olives that perfectly capture Marche's local flavor. All of this, combined with the region's natural beauty and warm, fun, and friendly locals, makes Marche a truly unforgettable destination in the heart of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–Ascoli Piceno, the town where the Ascoli olive is from, is beautiful, especially at night when it appears to glow: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/ascoli-piceno-the-italian-town-that-glows-at-nightLazioLazio, one of Italy's central regions, though often considered a southern region by Italians, is a place rich with history, iconic landmarks, and hidden gems.

If you find yourself in the Trastevere neighborhood, there are many wonderful popular restaurants, including La Scaletta and Le Mani in Pasta.Another must-see is Vatican City, home to the Vatican and its world-renowned religious and artistic treasures.

These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

Pogi en Van der Poel gingen er vaak met de ruikers vandoor maar dat betekende niet dat het niet spannend was. San Remo, de Amstel en de Ronde waren koersen de geschiedenisboeken.

È uno dei game changer che non solo ha segnato la storia del rap italiano, ma anche quella del BSMT. Ebbene sì, Guè Pequeno è tornato al BSMT per una chiacchierata senza filtri e mai banale. Proprio come lui. Nel rap italiano, il suo nome non è soltanto importante: è un riferimento. Con i Club Dogo ha tracciato una strada, aprendo una breccia tra underground e mainstream, e da solista ha costruito un percorso coerente, fatto di evoluzioni, collaborazioni e stile. Dalla sua prima volta al BSMT a oggi, è successo di tutto: la leggendaria reunion dei Club Dogo, la partecipazione al Festival di Sanremo, e tanta nuova musica, tra hit incredibili e i live estivi che promettono già grandi emozioni. Con Guè abbiamo parlato di come sia stato riportare in vita i Dogo, di cosa ha trovato e cosa ha lasciato sul palco dell'Ariston, e di quello che ci aspetta nei prossimi mesi. Ma non solo: abbiamo discusso del presente e del futuro del rap, di cosa significa restare fedeli a sé stessi mentre tutto cambia, e di come si resta rilevanti, credibili e influenti dopo oltre vent'anni in prima linea.

The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing.

Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

Een hele winter kijk je er naar uit. Smachtend als een klein kind naar zijn verjaardag. De Vlaamse klassiekers. Aangevuld met de Strade en San Remo, de mooiste tijd van het jaar. Van de eerste pannenkoeken bij De Omloop tot de waanzin van Roubaix. Van de hele dag voor de tv zitten voor de Hoogmis, tot het vervelen bij de eerste 5 uur van San Remo, om in het laatste uur te worden weggeblazen. En dan, is het in ene voorbij. Altijd eerder dan verwacht, en elk jaar weer een kick in the nuts. Gelukkig hebben we de Waalse klassiekers nog maar laten we volgend jaar toch maar de Brabantse pijl gewoon op de woensdag doen!

Ebbene sì, Rkomi è passato dal BSMT. E lo ha fatto come forse mai prima d'ora. Artista tra i più riconoscibili e amati della scena musicale italiana, Rkomi, all'anagrafe Mirko Martorana, ha trasformato il suo percorso: dalle radici nel rap milanese alla sperimentazione tra generi, fino al grande salto nel mainstream con l'album “Taxi Driver”, il disco più venduto del 2021. Una colonna sonora generazionale che ha segnato un prima e un dopo nella sua carriera. Nel basement del Cupra Garage durante la Milano Design Week 2025, Rkomi si racconta tra successi, paure, sacrifici e trasformazioni. Parla della sua esperienza come giudice di X Factor, delle due partecipazioni a Sanremo (2022 e 2025), dell'assenza della figura paterna, delle critiche, dei consensi e degli inizi condivisi con Tedua, Bresh, Ernia e Izi. Una intervista esclusiva che esplora l'uomo dietro l'artista, in cui l'irrequietezza diventa stile e la musica un linguaggio per dire tutto, senza filtri. Una tappa imperdibile nella Design Week di Milano, per chi ama la musica che racconta storie vere. Buon ascolto! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP Our man, Laurence Pithie, is back for the second episode in our mini series following the young Kiwi star through the 2025 Spring Classics.  After a delayed start to his European series, Laurence kicked things off on the weekend at Milan San Remo. We kick this ep off with a quick voice note from him live from the hotel room, and man, with the weather those boys had right at the start, I can tell you I'm glad I'm not a rider anymore.  I caught up with Laurence after the race to get his insight into how things played out, and how his race went. If you've not caught up with San Remo yet, go and get yourself up to speed - but safe to say, it wasn't an easy day for any of the riders, let alone our man Pithie. I won't spoil the result, but hearing how Laurence's team got around him, and his ‘never say die' attitude was super cool. Of course, San Remo is just the kick off for Pithie's Spring. Next up, he's off to Belgium - the home of the classics - for De Panne, E3, and Gent Wevelgem; three absolutely massive races that lead up to The Tour of Flanders at the start of April. Oh man, these are some of my absolute favourite races. The Belgian fans, the chaos in the bunch; in a messed up way, I kinda miss it - so I can't wait to hear how Laurence finds them. Laurence had a great ride at Wevelgem in 2024, so we spoke about what his expectations are for these first races back in Belgium to find out if he's doing anything this time around. Of course, aside from the racing, it's good to hear the young gun is still looking forward to getting familiar with a few Belgian beers and really soaking in the culture; that's something I'm particularly jealous of.  Finally, I spoke to one of Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe's sports directors - another Kiwi, ‘The Flying Mullet' himself; Shane Archbold. He gave me some great background on Laurence, what it's like working with him, the mechanics behind his transfer to Bora from FDJ, and what he's capable of this season. Shane's a good mate, and a real good judge of character, so it was great to hear that Laurence has really fit in with the team and found his feet within the structure straight away, so he can focus on trying to win some of the biggest races in the world.  Right guys, enjoy this episode. Our next catch up with Pithie will come next week after he, with a bit of luck, has just won the E3 and Wevelgem double…don't let me down, Laurence.  Cheers! Mitch   I'VE WRITTEN A BOOK!

We got to witness, as Pipo Ganna called them ‘Gods of cycling' go toe to toe on the slopes of the Cipressa and the Poggio and, boy, did it exceed expectations. The confidence and arrogance of Pog trying to go from the foot of the Cipressa, the absolute ice man that is Van Der Poel responding to his every move, and Ganna showing what an absolute animal he is to hang tough with the big boys on the climbs. We talk all about it and, I'll tell you what, I honestly think that's the best edition I've ever seen.  Durbo's Pelo Chat takes a look at the ‘Superteams' of the sport - the guys with cash to burn like UAE or Visma who can pick up the best riders; money no object. But are the superteams good or bad for the sport, and is riding for one of them actually all it's cracked up to be? In this month's Talking Tactics, Southam fills us in on the upcoming UCI meeting to discuss whether additional wild cards should be issued for the biggest races. Now that some of the biggest riders, the likes of Pidcock, Hirschi, and Alaphilippe, have stepped down to ProTeam level, race organisers are stuck between a rock and a hard place if they want to keep the classic second division teams happy whilst also getting the fan favourites at their races. Plus, the UCI undermining all the hard work the lower ranked World Tour teams over the last few years to avoid relegation - it's absolute chaos.  Of course, we wrap things up with the Communi-quiz. Southam's quiz master this month, and he's bought out the race commentary clips for Durbo and I to guess the rider and the race. This is a real toughy, but you racing nuts out there will love it.  You guys know by now how much I love sitting down with Luke and Tom to yarn about the races. As always make sure you sit back, relax, crack open a cold one, and enjoy this month's Race Communique.  The Race Communiqué is brought to you by TrainingPeaks!

Lucio Corsi è stata la vera rivelazione del Festival di Sanremo e, anche se non lo ha vinto, rappresenterà l'Italia all'Eurovision Song Contest di Basilea (13-18 maggio 2025). Il testo della canzone che lo ha reso famoso è, a tratti, pura poesia. In questo episodio parliamo proprio delle parole di "Volevo essere un duro", e scopriremo insieme cosa significa essere un "cantautore", che cos'è una "strofa" e come si usa la parola "paio".

This week on the GTCC it's a hefty debrief of G's final Milan San Remo and a soggy opening day at the Volta a Catalunya. He's been a busy boy. Oh, and the team bus ran out of hot water. Long story. After G updates you all on that, it's time to head back a couple of months to sunnier times, and G's trip to Australia. While he was there, he headed to the driving range with his old, old teammate from Barloworld, Daryl Impey. Impey's a cult hero of the sport, a South African who wore the yellow jersey at the Tour and forged a brilliant career for himself. They chatted about the evolution of the sport across their careers, retirement transitions... and if G will ever get decent at golf. It's a cracker. We're just not sure we'll ever run Daryl's proposed GTCC Golf Day. Join us for this week's GTCC ROUVY ride right here: https://riders.rouvy.com/events/72d92560-01bc-4e07-b3d1-ce8a0f4f7d95.

Full unpack of Milan San Remo.

Kan een koers mooier zijn dan Milaan-San Remo? Giertje beweert al jaren van niet. Het begint en eindigt wat hem betreft bij La Primavera. En we moeten langzaamaan toch toe gaan geven dat hij wel eens een punt zou kunnen hebben. Afgelopen zaterdag trakteerden drie renners ons op een finale om handen, voeten en neus bij af te likken. Mocht je daar trek in hebben natuurlijk. Pogi deed toch weer het onvoorstelbare. Van der Poel ging daar naadloos in mee en Ganna pushte zichzelf, en die twee voor zich, tot het uiterste. Wat een koers. Wat een finale. Wat een winnaar!

Laurens en Stefan gaan verder. Gelukkig maar, wat dit kunstwerk verdient het. En elke kilometer passeert de revue. Over het plan van UAE, over de exploit op de Cipressa, het geram om op de Poggio, de sprint met de mannen van de camping et cetera, et cetera. En hoe zat het nou met die zwarte kit van Pogacar aan het begin, en de witte kit aan het einde van de koers? Je hoort het allemaal in weer een nieuwe aflevering van de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.

Análisis de la Milano Sanremo con la épica batalla entre MVDP y Pogacar. También analizamos lo sucedido en la victoria de Wiebes.

Lance, George, and Johan break down Mathieu Van Der Poel's incredible ride to win the 2025 Milan-Sanremo, which saw him win two out of the last three editions by beating Tadej Pogačar and Filippo Ganna in a three-rider sprint after Pogačar re-wrote the modern history of the race by attacking and riding clear on the Cipressa. The crew discusses the key moments of the race, what this performance says about Van Der Poel's current form, and how it could affect his upcoming battles against Pogačar and Wout van Aert in the Cobbled Classics.

Rose Manley and Jo Rowsell cast their eye over one of the most hotly anticipated races of the year, Milano-Sanremo Donne. The last time the race was staged for women was 20 years ago, leaving plenty of intrigue over how it would be approached by this current crop of riders. This season's battle of SD Worx versus Demi Vollering was expected to continue into this race. The Dutch team boasted both World Champion Lotte Kopecky and super sprinter Lorena Wiebes in their line-up, making them the team to beat. However, former alumnus Vollering – now of FDJ Suez – got the better of them at Strade Bianche and looked to do it again on the famous climbs of the Cipressa and Poggio.  There were plenty of contenders for the inaugural Milano Sanremo Donne title elsewhere too. Trofeo Binda champion Elisa Balsamo heads up Lidl-Trek, Elisa Longo Borghini looks to make a big impression as Italian champion and Kasia Niewiadoma races for the first time since her Strade Bianche crash.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP It's no secret that the Spring Classics are my favourite races. I loved racing them, and I love watching them as a fan. But, in my 10th year of doing Life In The Peloton, you've heard all the stories I've got about the likes of Flanders & Roubaix; it's time for me to pass the torch. This season, I'm going to be covering the cobbles classics a little bit differently. I'm going to bring you with me inside the 2025 peloton as we follow young Kiwi up and coming classics star - Laurence Pithie. Laurence burst onto the scene last year when he won Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race in January, and went toe to toe with Van Der Poel and Pedersen at Gent Wevelgem, rounding out his classics campaign with a stellar 7th place at Roubaix.  I'm going to be chatting to Laurence before and after all the big races for the next few weeks - San Remo, Flanders, and Roubaix - to get insider information on how he's feeling, how his team are planning on tackling the races, and just how it feels to take on the superstars at the pointy end. He'll be sending me voice notes straight from the team bus straight after the finish to share his raw, unfiltered thoughts, and I can't wait to bring you along and share Laurence's 2025 classics journey with you guys.  After transferring from FDJ to Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe in the offie, Pithie is heading into this season as a co-leader with a really strong team. He'll be supported by class riders like Oier Lazkano, Gianni Moscon, Maxim Van Gils, Danny Van Poppel, Jordi Meeus, and heaps more - plus he'll have the wise words of Bernie Eisel and my old mate Heinrich Haussler down the radio from back in the team car; Bora really aren't messing around at the classics this year, and Laurence is a rider they believe can go all the way and knock out a big result. Fresh off an altitude training camp and a delayed start to his 2025 classics campaign, Laurence is about to kick things off at Milan San Remo, so I spoke to him to kick off this mini series and get his initial thoughts on the Spring Classics in 2025. A lot has changed since I retired, and these races are almost unrecognisable to me now, so it's great to see them through the eyes of a fresh, young, motivated rider with a real shot of winning BIG this season. Guys, I hope you enjoy part 1 of this series. I can't wait to bring you more from our man Laurence over the next few weeks. Hopefully, you'll join me in really rooting for the young Kiwi after listening to this. And Laurence; go and get it buddy. We're all behind you.  Cheers!
