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.

  • 2.4. That is, precisely at the level (Emmanuel has fun with a group of freaks)

    That is, precisely at the level

    This episode is a bizarre experiment, in which AI voices mix with those of two real-life theater actors, Stefano Romano and Erika Piroscia.

    After so much useless suffering, Emmanuel wants to have some fun.

    He is currently engaged (so to speak) in a very relaxed relationship with Elettra, the leader of Tantras (a theater company in Turin).

    One evening he witnesses an Ionesco-like dialogue between the members of the group and reports it to us verbatim.

    What emerges is the surreal picture of a group of sympathetic bewildered people, with whom the protagonist spends his time carefree to forget his malaise, waiting to understand if his relationship with Antonio (with whom, unlike with Elettra, he is serious) will be able to take off.

    All the characters are AI.

    During the episode you can listen to covers or live versions of "Cuccurucucù Paloma" and "Bandiera bianca" by Franco Battiato.

  • 2.3. Moon In Hell (Emmanuel sees Michelle for the first time)
    May 9 2025

    Guided by his personal Virgil, his friend Antonio, Emmanuel unknowingly begins his descent into the Underworld through the night clubs of alternative Turin. Here he comes into contact with a theater group, the Tantras, and embarks on a very casual relationship with their leader Elettra; meanwhile, in the Hell of the "Divina Commedia" pub, he sees for the first time Michelle, a woman destined to have a great weight in his life. But his attention is directed above all to Antonio, with whom he hopes to be able to start a serious relationship. All performers (Vincent-Paul Emmanuel, John and Peter) are AI.

    The following live tracks can be heard in the episode:

    Laurie Anderson's "Born, Never Asked"; "Moon in June" by Soft Machine; "Riders Of The Storm" by The Doors; "Scars" by The Crane Wives.

    Going other ways

    Well, we didn't expect a homosexual crush from Emmanuel. Yet it is so.

    Forced by Antonia to interrupt their relationship and to go "other ways" (see Episode n. 1.18 "Blackout"), the boy, in the throes of profound bewilderment, finds a point of reference in Antonio, the woman's namesake, a his schoolmate a couple of years older than him, politically engaged and a lover of music like him. In this common passion they will find common ground.

    All interpreters are AI.

    Excerpts from the following tracks can be heard in the episode:

    "Hasta siempre commander Che Guevara" by Inti Illimani;

    "Riders On The Storm" by The Doors;

    Robert Wyatt's "Las Vegas Tango";

    "Venus de Milo" by Television;

    Tim Buckley's "Pleasant Street";

    Lou Reed's "Heroin";

    Captain Beefheart's "Electricity";

    "Gimme Shelter" by the Rolling Stones.
