About this listen

The podcast publishes in episodes a novel based on an authentic diary, written by a teenager whom we will call Emmanuel for convention; the book is set in the early 90s.

Emmanuel is a restless teenager, unable to be satisfied with the much he has and with a borderline personality that will lead him to have intense and disordered experiences, in search of a "meaning". In his search he will overwhelm several characters, including Antonia, his brother Michele's girlfriend.

This English version is entirely interpreted by AI.

According to the new podcasting rules, the statistics will no longer count the listens, but exclusively the DOWNLOADS.

We therefore ask you, please, to ALWAYS DOWNLOAD each episode, perhaps to throw it away immediately afterwards (we know it takes up space)!

We'll alway provide you with the direct download link.

    Special Effects

    Another crucial episode of the novel-podcast.

    The illness has given Emmanuel time to clarify himself and has made him lucid and determined: he wants Antonia back at any cost.

    To achieve his goal, he is even willing to rig the cards and play a melodramatic role that completely displaces Antonia. It's full-blown blackmail, and he knows it well; but Love, as Plato says, is the son of Expedient and is therefore unscrupulous: Emmanuel is ready for anything to bring down Antonia's defensive barriers and take back what he has always considered to be his.

    The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel and Alice.

    During the episode, particularly rich in special effects, as the title suggests, you can listen to covers or instrumental versions of the soundtrack of "A Clockwork Orange" by Stanley Kubrick, "Girl you'll be a woman soon" by Neil Diamond, "Polly" by Nirvana, "It's five o' clock" by Aphrodite's Child, an excerpt from "Scimmia" by Eugenio Finardi and a cover of "I want you" by Bob Dylan.

    Tabula rasa

    The third part of Emmanuel's story begins here: it's the most delicate and crucial one.

    We hope that you will appreciate the incredible acting skills of this extraordinary AI that is Paul Emmanuel, listening to his opening monologue.

    Fresh from an experience as intense as it was devastating with Michelle K., who introduced him to drugs, the boy finds his health seriously compromised.

    During the period of his illness and his convalescence, he has the opportunity to seriously reflect on his situation and make important decisions for his future.

    Meanwhile, his older brother Michele is increasingly worried about him.

    The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel, Vincent, Nicole, Allison and Anthony,

    The soundtrack consists of instrumental covers of Lana del Rey's "Heroin".
