    s15e22 | Bombolone: San Isidro and the Cracks in the Floor

    Recorded in the calm before Madrid’s San Isidro storm, Vincenzo reflects on a life without filters -this episode dives into the sharp details of our daily urban reality through a meticulously curated soundtrack. Recorded the day San Isidro kicks off in Madrid and the day after the 50th anniversary of the 1976 Friuli earthquake, a tremor that left permanent marks on the floors of Vincenzo's childhood home in Pordenone. This week also brings a personal reckoning with the death of Alex Zanardi, who died on May Day, six days before this episode: Vincenzo first saw him race karts in Pordenone in 1992, at 25 years old, and never stopped watching. Between those moments: Lola Hammond's unsettling opener, Aldous Harding doing something categorically strange with her voice, Kim Gordon at seventy saying not today with absolute conviction, Gorillaz bridging seven decades of music through Asha Bhosle, and Harry Styles — yes, Harry Styles — making the case for stepping outside the lines. Closes with Gia Margaret, quietly. Closing with the ethereal "Alive Inside" by Gia Margaret, Vincenzo invites you to find your own internal vibration amidst the urban noise.

    s15e20 | Bombolone: Roses, Books and the Ancient Brain

    Description: Broadcast during Madrid’s celebrated Noche de los Libros, Vincenzo explores the intersection of sound, memory, and human nature. In this episode, we reflect on a humbling fact: despite modern technological leaps, our brains remain virtually unchanged from those of our ancestors 100,000 years ago. We still respond to ancestral fears with self-generated stories. Drawing wisdom from Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh, we navigate a world of shifting perceptions and Middle Eastern tensions through a curated soundtrack. This week features a special spotlight on Pordenone-based artist Francesco Candura (Stop the wheel), the poetic weight of Jim Morrison, and the raw Irish grit of Fontaines D.C. We close with the hypnotic sounds of Tricky and the timeless exile anthem by Rachid Taha. As Madrid stays awake to read, Bombolone provides a soundtrack for the modern wanderer seeking truth beneath the noise.

    s15e19 | Bombolone - San Giuseppe, Memphis Soul & Rosalia's LUX coming to town

    Thursday afternoons in Madrid. Vincenzo has been doing this for fifteen seasons — Lisbon first, then Scotland, Amsterdam, London, Dubai, a detour through Venice, another through Beirut, and for the last eight years, here. Every week, an hour of music and the kind of observation you only get from someone who's been watching a city long enough to stop being impressed by it. This week: Al Green dismantling the Beatles in slow motion. The Specials making a 1950 novelty song feel like a warning. The quiet side of the Stone Roses' debut. Cocteau Twins. Soundgarden. Spiritualized refusing to end. And the story of Linda Lyndell, who recorded What A Man in 1968, watched it disappear, and had to wait for Salt-N-Pepa to remind the world she existed. Madrid dispatches along the way — Rosalía coming home for four nights, almond trees in bloom in a park most people walk past without stopping, Zelensky at the Moncloa. News from Trieste and Pordenone, where spring arrives with documentary films and, apparently, Judas Priest. In Italian. On Radio Fragola Trieste, 104.5/104.8 FM, every Thursday at 14:00. Everywhere else as a podcast.
