Der Tod mag früher einmal ein Mann mit langem Umhang und Sense gewesen sein - heute ist es der Übergangsmanager, der im zeitlosen schwarzen Einreiher seine Klienten mittels App über eine Rolltreppe in die Reinkarnationslotterie schickt. Doch eins ist gewiss: Einen stressfreien Job hat er nicht gerade.

How could they create a stellar show when they really just need to survive?

"Podcast Micidiali" è il primo podcast di Maccio Capatonda. Al plurale, perché sono 11 storie diverse, separate una dall'altra ma unite da una cosa: sono successe veramente. Sì, veramente. In un tempo che non ricordiamo o un luogo che non abbiamo mai sentito, ma sono successe veramente. Per esempio, avete presente il grande artista Lavami e il campione di Urla Marco Sgabello? Loro sono due protagonisti. Oppure, siete mai stati nel paese campione di disoccupazione Nullafacenza o a Scapestrana nei cocci, un piccolo borgo dove si tiene il Donnathlon?
