Il Post — podcast

What it actually is

The natural graduation step after News in Slow Italian: real Italian journalism, spoken at real speed, on politics, science, media and culture. Il Post's writing is unusually clear by Italian press standards, which makes the site itself good reading practice. Since 2023 Il Post's podcasts have moved off public RSS and into its own subscriber player, so there is no feed to add to a listening queue — you listen on the site or in its app, and most of the slate now needs a subscription. Firmly C-level listening — no transcripts or glossaries.
