The “war” between TradFi and crypto is over.

P.A.Z. - Incantagioni Audio-Essay
*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)**.

### 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.

Conversational AI Design: A Practical Field Guide
**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.

**Here’s how our Fast Friending works:-**
\- We will meet at 7\.00 and have time to get settle down and get a drink\.
\- From about 7\.30 to 8\.30 we will run the fast friending system\. Half of the group \(mixed gender\) will stay in a fixed place and the other half of the group \(mixed gender\) will be asked to rotate\. During these intervals\, each pair of people will get the opportunity to talk to each other\.
\- Daryna will be hosting the evening and she will organize the fast friending process\. She will indicate when you should move to the next person\.
\- From 8\.30 onwards we will stop the system and people will have to chance go chat and interact with those they have met as well as others\.
If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Daryna will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable.
\- We are not a close knit tight group\. Our evenings are warm and comfortable for members attending for the first time and those coming alone\. You will not feel alone\!
\- We have many groups in this city\. Members of our other groups who RSVP are included as guests of the organisers in order to give you an indication of expected people\.
\- This evening is for ladies and gents in the 25 to 40 age group\.
\- Our evenings are not about 'dating' or for 'romantic' connections\. 'Fast friending' is NOT 'Speed dating'\. 'Fast friending' is designed to help members meet other like minded ladies and gents\. It is about new friendships and connections\. Naturally\, new friendships can lead to dating or romantic connections\, but that is not our focus\.

Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification.
You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written.
This talk will cover:
--What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t)
--How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows
--Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development
--Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence
Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.
