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.

WARNING:

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.

    Russian Roulette

    For this episode, one of the most important and dramatic of the novel-diary, we experimented, especially for Emmanuel's voice, with state-of-the-art AI, which never recites the same line in the same way, resulting in unpredictable and very creative.

    The narrative voice is Antonia's again.

    Too late Emmanuel realizes that he is playing a very dangerous game, which could cost him his life.

    The boy desperately, provocatively tries to ask for Antonia's help and to re-establish a relationship with her, but he realizes with anguish that things have changed a lot for both of them.

    The interpreters are a totally new Paul Emmanuel (last generation AI) and Cora (AI).

    During the episode you can listen to covers or live versions of the following songs by Lana Del Rey: “Music to Watch Boys To”, "Weat Coast", “Body Electric” (performed in the finale by Emmanuel and Philip).

    Compulsive Liar

    In this episode Emmanuel really hits rock bottom, from various points of view.

    Lying, lying and more lying: this seems to have become second nature to him. He is unable to cope with the simple evidence that he has become totally dependent on Michelle and the drugs she supplies him with. He really couldn't go any lower than that.

    The narrative voice is that of Emmanuel himself (AI Steffan Emmanuel); Michelle is played by Frieda (AI).

    During the episode you can listen to the following songs: "Winterfell" and "Candyman" by Static Bandz, whom we thank for the kind permission; "Guarda che luna" by Fred Buscaglione; "In My Garden" by Swans.

    Accidents On The Road

    Emmanuel hasn't yet understood that to play a game with Michelle K. you need to be particularly equipped, especially with cynicism and indifference, two qualities that he doesn't possess.

    In this episode he is forced to understand this and to realize that the game is bigger than him.

    The interpreters are Steffan Emmanuel and Frieda (AI).

    During the episode you can listen to the following songs: "Galaxy" and "Forbidden Chamber" by Static Bandz, whom we thank for the permission; "Inhuman" by Sonic Youth; "Old Age" (bootleg) by Kurt Cobain.
