Emmanuel - The Broken Diary - U.S.A. version (Podcast Novel)

Antonia Del Monaco

THE PODCAST IS CLOSED FOR THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS, BUT WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE TO LISTENERS. The podcast publishes in episodes a novel based on an authentic diary, written by a teenager whom we will call Emmanuel for convention; the book is set in the early 90s.  Emmanuel is a restless teenager, unable to be satisfied with the much he has and with a borderline personality that will lead him to have intense and disordered experiences, in search of a "meaning". In his search he will overwhelm several characters, including Antonia, his brother Michele's girlfriend. This English version is entirely interpreted by AI. WARNING: According to the new podcasting rules, the statistics will no longer count the listens, but exclusively the DOWNLOADS. We therefore ask you, please, to ALWAYS DOWNLOAD each episode, perhaps to throw it away immediately afterwards (we know it takes up space)! We'll alway provide you with the direct download link.

    2.19. Prince (Emmanuel no longer knows who he is)

    Emmanuel, destabilized by his relationship with Gerti, has found refuge in Carlos and his sister Mayra, but the matter is taking an unpredictable turn... Or perhaps not even too unpredictable, considering the amorous bulimia of our protagonist. The result is that the boy no longer understands who he is and what he wants. The interpreters are Paolino Emmanuel Quinto and Anthony Carlos. During the episode you can listen to covers or live versions of the following songs: "Isolada" by Cesária Évora; "Força Di Cretcheu" by Eugénio Tavares; "Break my Body" by Pixies; in the end Emmanuel duets with Elise Roth in the medieval version of Hozier's "Take me to Church" prepared by the great Beedle The Bardcore.

    2.18. Very Sexy (Carlos cheers up Emmanuel) - REMADE

    In the previous episode ("Russian Roulette") Emmanuel's story was about to end tragically. Just when he thinks he can no longer free himself from his addiction to Michelle, he meets an unexpected ally in Carlos. The man turns out to be capable of understanding and humanity, qualities absent in Gerti, and incredibly manages to restore Emmanuel's good mood. Emmanuel finds a true friend where he would least expect it and meets his sister Mayra, destined to have a great importance in his future life. The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel, Andrew and Sally. During the episode you can listen to live or covers of "Sodade" by Cesária Évora and "My Dimension" by DJ Panda (remix by DJ Hokkaido).

    2.17. Russian Roulette (A Fatal Challenge)

    It’s the turn of “Russian Roulette”, one of the podcast’s most successful episodes. This is a very demanding scene for the actors, as the episode is characterised by a particularly intense emotional charge: Emmanuel, now in the grip of Michelle and drugs, desperately tries to make Antonia understand his situation. The performers are Paul Emmanuel and Antonia. During the episode you can listen to covers or live versions of the following songs by Lana Del Rey: “Music to Watch Boys To”, "Weat Coast", “Body Electric” (performed in the finale by Emmanuel and Phil).

    2.16. Compulsive Liar (Hitting rock bottom)

    Emmanuel hits rock bottom from various points of view.  Lying, lying and more lying: this seems to have become second nature to him. He is unable to cope with the simple evidence that he has become totally dependent on Michelle and the drugs she supplies him with.  He really couldn't go any lower than that.  The narrative voice is that of Emmanuel himself (Paul Emmanuel); Michelle is played by Frieda. During the episode you can listen to the following songs: "Winterfell" and "Candyman" by Static Bandz, whom we thank for the kind permission; "Guarda che luna" by Fred Buscaglione; "In My Garden" by Swans.

    2.15. Accidents On The Road (Maybe the game is too hard?) - REMADE

    Emmanuel hasn't yet understood that to play a game with Michelle K. you need to be particularly equipped, especially with cynicism and indifference, two qualities that he doesn't possess. In this episode he is forced to understand this and to realize that the game is bigger than him. The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel and Vivienne. During the episode you can listen to the following songs: "Galaxy" and "Forbidden Chamber" by Static Bandz, whom we thank for the permission; "Inhuman" by Sonic Youth; "Old Age" (bootleg) by Kurt Cobain.

    2.14. Happy Birthday, Emmanuel ("If you wanted Parsifal, teacher, maybe you shouldn't have...")

    This chapter, one of the most important in the podcast, is a turning point for Emmanuel's story. He turns 18, an important milestone in anyone's life. His companions and friends are present at his party, but there's also Antonia, with whom the boy has a rather harsh clash at the end of the evening: he tries to hide the truth from her, but in the end, left alone with himself, he is forced to admit that he is bad. The interpreters are Steffan-Emmanuel and Nicole (AI). During the episode you can listen to covers or live versions of the following songs: "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson; "Rock the Kasbah" by The Clash; "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin; "Falco a metà" by Gianluca Grignani; "Come Undone" by Duran Duran.

    2.13. Some good girls (Emmanuel and his "winning technique")

    Please, use the direct download link: thank you! Some Good Grils There are moments, in the life of a man, in which virile pride suffers very severe blows: it hasn't happened to Emmanuel yet, but Michelle known as Gerti provides in this sense, ruthless and indifferent as always. The interpreters are Steffan Emmanuel and Frieda (AI). During the episode you can hear a cover of "Michelle" by The Beatles and "Gouge Away" by The Pixies (instrumental and live).

    Michele, seriously worried about his brother Emmanuel's condition, asks him for a face-to-face conversation.
