*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.

At the beginning, we have short poses (2, 3, 5, 15 minutes), then two 30-minute sessions. Between blocks, we have 5-10-minute breaks to refresh and socialize with tea and cookies. Normally, we have an interesting international group of artists, consisting of around 8-10 people, who come regularly and do not typically write about their attendance on Meetup. **Important!** Please book your ticket at Meetup by PayPal or [tickets](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/art-exhibitions/other-art-events/life-drawing-aktzeichnen-in-zuerich-kreiss-4-7421287514672004898.html) On our Instagram page, you can see drawings from our artists from previous events: [here](https://eventfrog.ch/en/cockpitv3/events/7365649101847824543/overview) Please bring your favorite drawing material.

A classic Italian road comedy that was so good the film ministry recognized it as "culturally significant." Starring Vittorio Gassman and Jean-Louis Trintignant, the film shows that for young men in love the rules of the road are only suggestions. And the rules for love? Hey, this is an Italian picture! Oh to be young and filled with joie de vivre or la dolce vita. A french/italian fun filled movie with a surprising twist at the end. Do you have a fun memory from your youth?
