  • Summary

  • Voices and Mics is the story of the evolution of audio broadcasting, from Guglielmo Marconi's brilliant intuition, through pioneers like Enrique Telemaco Susini, to the modern era of podcasts. The exciting stories of ingenious people who transformed the world, people united by the same passion: messages through a microphone.
    From the first spark of innovation, when Marconi sent the first radio signal, audio communication over the airwaves became not only essential but the bearer of cultural revolutions.
    This is the story of the revolutions that have shaped us so much that we find ourselves here telling this story in a podcast.
    Voices and Mics is the history of podcasts and radio, from the first Morse to the internet era, eight episodes, explore the contributions of key figures such as Enrique Telemaco Susini and Franco Moretti and relive landmark experiences such as Radio London during World War II, when radio broadcasts became a beacon of hope and resistance.
    Voices and Mics is a demonstration of how the art of communicating through a microphone has been pivotal in recent human history, a form of art and craftsmanship that has evolved with technology, but always keeping its essence alive, that of conveying emotions.

    It all started in January 1969, 7 January to be precise. When Franco Mocagatta, Teodora Taddei and Gianni Boncompagni opened the radio to calls from the public, live. Without censorship or prejudice. The idea is to offer listeners a trusted space where they can ask questions, and express their doubts. The relationship between the audience and presenters will no longer be the same.
