*English description below* Come un bookclub ma per i podcast. Ogni mese ci ritroviamo per parlare di un podcast che abbiamo ascoltato e scambiarci pareri, opinioni e consigli su nuovi e possibili ascolti. **Questo mese ascoltiamo *Incantagioni Audio-Essay***, un podcast indipendente realizzato da K-assandra, prodotto da Mariano Tomatis e distribuito da NERO. Puoi ascoltarlo su **[Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/0DZ23Q93SzHrjOXLOzbo2G?si=b61e502fa224451a)**. Puoi usare questo schema per annotare le tue riflessioni e condividerle poi con il resto del gruppo [https://bit.ly/fogliotqe_PAZ](https://bit.ly/fogliotqe_PAZ) *(Per scaricarlo è necessario avere un account Google)* ### Incantagioni Audio-Essay *[Dalla descrizione del Podcast](https://www.neroeditions.com/format/incantagioni/)* Una giovane antropologa si imbatte nel libro scritto da un mago: Incantagioni. Storie di veggenti, sibille, sonnambule e altre fantasmagoriche liberazioni (Nero 2022) racconta la storia di sei donne che, tra Sette- e Ottocento, hanno usato la magia per emanciparsi dall’oppressione patriarcale. Usando le sue pagine come mappa, la ricercatrice avvia una ricerca che la porterà ben al di là delle traiettorie del libro, con l’obiettivo di esplorare forme e influenze del magico nella contemporaneità europea. Incantagioni Audio-Essay è un podcast indipendente realizzato da K-assandra, prodotto da Mariano Tomatis e distribuito da NERO. Le musiche sono di Kalisia e Lp_saad. Il progetto grafico è di Lucrezia Gentili. Registrazione presso Accademia Recording Studio (Verona). ### Cosa è P.A.Z. Podcast Ascolti Zurigo? Il miglior modo per conoscere un podcast è il passaparola. Solitamente questo viaggia attraverso i social media. P.A.Z., acrononimo che sta per Podcast Ascolti Zurigo nasce per scoprire cose nuove da ascoltare e avere la possibilità di parlarne con altri, in persona. Come un bookclub, ma per i podcast. #### *English Version* Each month, we gather to discuss a podcast we've listened to, sharing thoughts, opinions, and recommendations for future listens. This month we are listening to Incantagioni Audio-Essay, an independent podcast created by K-assandra, produced by Mariano Tomatis, and distributed by NERO. Listen to it now on **[Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/0DZ23Q93SzHrjOXLOzbo2G?si=b61e502fa224451a)**. ### *Incantagioni Audio-Essay* **From Podcast notes** A young anthropologist comes across a book written by a magician: Incantagioni. Stories of Seers, Sibyls, Somnambulists, and Other Phantasmagorical Liberations (NERO, 2022) tells the story of six women who, between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, used magic as a means of emancipation from patriarchal oppression. Using the book’s pages as a map, the researcher embarks on an investigation that leads her far beyond the book’s original trajectories, with the aim of exploring the forms and influences of magic in contemporary European society. Incantagioni Audio-Essay is an independent podcast created by K-assandra, produced by Mariano Tomatis, and distributed by NERO. The music is by Kalisia and Lp_saad. Graphic design by Lucrezia Gentili. Recorded at Accademia Recording Studio (Verona). ### What's P.A.Z.? The best way to discover a podcast is through word of mouth, usually traveling through social media. P.A.Z., an acronym for Podcast Ascolti Zurigo, was born to uncover new things to listen to and the chance to discuss them with others in person. Like a book club, but for podcasts. #### Is there an entry fee? The event is free (it would be nice to know how many of us are coming, so if you can, RSVP for free here). Everyone is free to order something at the bar at their own expense. #### Do I need to have listened to the entire podcast? No, you can come even if you haven't heard the entire podcast (but it's better if you have). #### Is the podcast to listen to always in Italian? Yes, currently, P.A.Z. aims to focus on Italian-language podcasts, and anyone who speaks Italian is welcome. #### I like it but I can't be there, what can I do? Feel free to contact me via the email you find on Eventbrite, and I will be able to keep you updated on upcoming events.

**About the talk** Conversational assistants aren’t “just another feature”. They are full experiences shaped by countless design decisions that must hold up in real life: messy inputs, high expectations, edge cases, and the constant tension between speed, quality, and cost. In this talk, Gea and Alberto share what they’ve learned while designing AI-enabled assistants in different contexts (from support to retail-like journeys). Instead of focusing on hype or theory, they’ll unpack the practical choices that make the difference: how to keep conversations actionable, how to design a consistent “voice” without overdoing personality, how to define (or intentionally limit) the assistant’s identity, and how the interface and the underlying logic need to evolve together. They’ll also touch the less glamorous, but most decisive parts of the work: when AI is the right tool (and when it isn’t), why data is the elephant in the room, what “testing” means in conversational design, and how to guide users so the assistant is easy to understand and hard to misuse without overwhelming them. Expect a set of clear takeaways you can reuse with your own team, whether you’re starting from scratch or improving something already in production, shared through real design trade-offs, not spoilers. **About the speakers** [Gea Sasso](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gea-sasso/) is a Senior Service Designer at Sketchin focused on service experiences where journeys, touchpoints, and contexts come together. Her work explores how services can be shaped across channels, including the interplay between digital and physical environments. [Alberto Andreetto](https://www.linkedin.com/in/albertoandreetto/) is a Lead Interaction Designer at Sketchin specialized in interaction design and complex digital systems. He works on defining how products behave, respond, and communicate, especially when interfaces become conversational and adaptive.
