It's an important episode because the next one is an obvious celebration, but this one is a fundamental celebration. It's a bit like when you remember to celebrate someone only on their birthday or only during a specific occasion. It's like when you only remember Human Rights on World Human Rights Day, which by the way... how many people remember when it's celebrated?

It's been about a year since I started writing the lyrics for this podcast and almost by chance I'm writing this episode reflecting on the fact that in a year many things have changed in my way of podcasting, but above all in my knowledge of podcasts. Reflecting and rethinking the path taken in front of the microphone and inserting myself into editing programs and the platforms on which you can li...

There are moments that are turning points, and perhaps they are marked by something other than a mark... or by a mark itself. You see the new walls in Central America which are recognizable by a series of orange buoys interspersed with strange barbed wire, almost like a circular saw I would say. So to be a difficult, pungent, cutting turning point, that you remember, that's it. italian version Spa...

The series of reflections continues that lead me to try to understand what I do. Or rather, explain what I do. Because I know what I do well, and despite the fact that it might not even be your problem to know what I do, that I'm not interested in what you do, but if you explain to me what you do then I'll explain what I do. italian version Professioni Spanish version Professionales

Original podcast link: Ci possiamo ragionare ep95 Spanish version: Modo de espera ep95 Some time ago, at the top of the political debate it seemed that the only problem we are forced to face is that of migration, immigration, in short, the people arriving. In the debate, where and why this immigration comes from matters little, the only certainty is that the how disturbs us. On the right and on th...

You may ask, why a round account episode in a position that is not a round account? Because standby arises precisely from the reflection that begins in me every time my brain interprets information close to the round account as a round account.

Fairy tales always start the same way, once upon a time. And if I want to tell a life like a fairy tale, I start the story the same way, once upon a time. There are two things with which I reflect on once upon a time and are: once upon a time and once upon a time.

I don't know if by chance I'm getting carried away with these episodes dedicated to the year or to events, but they are opportunities to bring up reflections that deserve their own space and therefore, even if I'm getting carried away, I continue like this, once again that we are at episode ninety-two a terrifying chapter of our history emerges that deserves not to be forgotten and basically it is...

I went to the theater recently, one of many times, and enjoyed a stand-up comedy show that was both surreal and brilliant, surreal genius.

I like to stop and think that being citizens of the world is the solution to the presence of borders and limits in the movement of people, but then I quickly realize that it is not true that thinking this is the solution, because there are a thousand other steps to take in between , even at a short distance.

There are two main reasons for dedicating episode 89 of this long journey to a wall, which we all know well, at least in terms of fame, of which many ignore the background that makes it one of the walls on which our history is written, that of Berlin and why, as those good in mathematics may have understood in episode 33 is that I was born in '89, the same year that the Berlin Wall stopped dividin...

Since in the space and time of social media new words and slang are always born, I decided to create my own neologism, which maybe won't go anywhere and I really hope it won't be recognized, otherwise the logic of all my criticisms would be lost which I also did in this podcast. But I wanted to create a term that would allow me to summarize what I think or rather a lifestyle that I like to think i...

I have never been a supporter of compromise. I find that the combination between two positions, which in the specific moment represent the antipodes of a concept, of a conflict, is the defeat of both sides and the absence of a real victory, if both sides lose it is a defeat, not a competition. A competition could also be a healthy way to discover some life experiences. Through sporting competitive...

Now if we talk about fluidity it is very easy to refer to gender issues, to those who recognize themselves in one genre rather than another and to that fluid part which finds gender as an extra construct, which can be understood as superfluous or which we just can't do without it, at least that everyone can do as they wish. Fluidity, considering that I really like it as a concept applied to the ge...

There are few things that deeply annoy me, one of them is inattention. However, obviously the why and how must be explained, above all because I am not exempt from being inattentive and a little distraction can happen to everyone, wait a moment though. Sometimes when I complain about the carelessness I see around me I refer to spatial awareness, a soft skill that seems particularly lost to me late...

I'm old inside, I'm young inside, paradoxical definitions to say I'm young or I'm old. Practically saying that we are young inside or that we are old inside we are saying the exact opposite and not only that, we are also telling our interlocutor that he is old or that he is young, too old, too young, depending on the situation. Once again it seems to me that I am speaking of racism of the ages as...

To continue the reflection begun in the previous episode, it was necessary to praise pets. You will say, why praise pets who basically do what we want, who are dependent on us, who wouldn't live without us. Well, first of all because this is our anthropocentric way of seeing things and which always places us in a condition of superiority so as to justify our actions, much more often as stupid and...

The concept of wildlife, for everyone, I believe leads to open the drawers of memory in which the scenes of white tusk, balto, the lion king, the jungle book and another series of films and TV series are enclosed where the protagonists are animals immersed in a hostile environment, for us, natural for them. And I will tell you that in the end it is not even too bad for a reference. We can say that...

A full day that we normally call full, because using the Italian word disgusts us, or rather, it makes us feel that the fullness of the day is less legitimate or boh, but oh well, it's not a standby on neologisms and English terms, it's on the days full, then if you want to define them full, go ahead, as long as we understand each other. A busy day is a day when you don't have time to do anything...

There are things that come to your mind that you don't say. There are jokes that make you laugh thinking about them and that you don't say because you're afraid they're out of place or that they're only funny to you. Speaking of the fear of saying things out of place, we must objectively consider that instinct sometimes tells us something real, therefore there is a probability, not necessarily lim...

I who am a subject who according to the definitions belongs to generation Y, more or less, also called "millennials" and on which I have recently recounted my reflections on the matter and who have defined what happens as "cringe", having repeatedly spent some time reflecting on the strange words of our daily life, which perhaps come from other languages and which perhaps have become commonly used...

In my memory, until a few years ago, the age of a person was identified according to the year of birth and from that one could deduce some cultural references and habits that belonged to that person and his peers. Which then, is exactly the same thing we do today, only that instead of referring to the years of birth we refer to some definitions which, trivially, group together blocks of various ye...

There are dramatic things all the time. Every day there are chilling news that I honestly wouldn't want to be part of everyday life or even the extraordinary, that is, come on, if there weren't so many negative stories in the world everything would be much better. Similarly, if we opened the daily press review tomorrow morning and found only positive news, it would seem strange to us, we would thi...

While at a national level an increase in employment is being celebrated and the apparent victory against unemployment which, as we all know, cannot be resolved in a backlash made up of short contracts which will then be used to obtain new access to social safety nets for unemployment and for the challenges that have accompanied us for decades. But the title of this podcast talks about something el...

Listening is certainly one of the most difficult and useful things among those that we should learn to do effectively in our daily lives. I say we should, not surprisingly, it's a necessary conditional because let's be clear that we don't know how to listen. Even those who believe they know how to listen or know what the elements of good listening are, perhaps failing entirely to put it into pract...
