"Strane, misteriose e incredibili storie"
Monday Aug 19, 2024
Monday Aug 19, 2024
Riprendiamo il tema podcast introducendo la prima puntata da groupie sul programma che ha formato un buon 70% dei miei interessi di oggi (e la scelta di carriera lavorativa). Vi parlo di Dee Giallo, dei personaggi che ha portato alla luce e che hanno segnato la cultura americana e italiana. Storie di culti, criminalità, esperimenti psicologici e molto altro.

In this episode, we get down to the series of disappointing interviews that threw me for a loop 🎢 A reflection on career expectations, the concept of never giving up, and the wavering sense of value as a young professional in a hyper-specific job market.

As of June this year, I officially found a job! And if this does not come across as groundbreaking news, you probably didn't need to face the trainwreck that is the job market in 2024. For those who get it, I've decided to put months of uncertainty and low self-esteem to good use as I recount the first months of venturing into the humanitarian field.

"Un italiano vero"? con Alessandro
Thursday May 02, 2024
Thursday May 02, 2024
Oggi propongo una conversazione che parte dal concetto di identità nazionale per poi fare un giro immenso parlando di patriottismo, esperienze Erasmus, lo studio dell'arabo e tutte le considerazioni (pacate o meno) sui vari popoli e culture che solo degli ex studenti di lingue ✨cittadini del mondo✨ possono offrire. Gli stereotipi sono dopo tutto così sbagliati? Vi presento Alessandro.

Sometimes, the university-to-early-career pipeline is very straightforward. Other times, you're stuck like me in an endless limbo, sending applications into oblivion as months go by and very little feedback is received. Those who get it, get it - and this episode is dedicated especially to you. Join me and today's guest as we discuss the side effects of this waiting period and its unlikely perks. Here's Charlotte.

Ever heard talking about podcasts on a podcast? Genius concept, right? In this episode, we (AKA me and myself - literally) discuss the meaning of podcasts, the evolution of the format, and the dystopian direction it may be headed towards as it is increasingly becoming a mainstream business

Chiudiamo la serie in bellezza con il personaggio che si è dovuto sorbire la mia persona ma soprattutto la mia personalità ansiogena alla giovine età di vent'anni. Riflessioni sull'Erasmus, critiche "costruttive" su Roma, e campagne elettorali europeiste... Ascoltare per credere! Vi presento Otto.
Spoiler: nel corso dell'episodio, Octavian usa molte parole inglesi come "spoiler", appunto

Here’s to the last chapter of my Parisian adventures, adventures being of course a euphemism, but you get the gist. Nothing more to say, you’ve waited long enough: enjoy my second semester, sniffles, and long-winded conclusions
