On Tuesday, November 11, AANT’s Aula Magna hosted Manuel Montefuscoli and Michela Cipolla, creators of Sit Around Podcast, as part of the event series titled “I’ll Tell You How I Did It.”. The meeting was moderated by Prof. Valerio Di Paola, coordinator of the Bachelor’s program in Videomaking.
The guests were able to present their podcast dedicated to creativity to the students — a project born as a radio space for dialogue and inspiration, featuring the voices of those who have managed to turn their talent into a lifelong profession. The format focuses on the connections between art, communication, and design, telling the stories and insights behind creative careers. The podcast is set to launch in February 2026, with each episode lasting between 50 and 60 minutes, inspired by the style of classic American talk shows — as if it were an informal chat among friends. Among the guests who have so far confirmed their participation in the project are: director Valerio Desiro, storyteller Il Signor Franz, pop duo Younuts!, Roman performer Er Pinto, entrepreneur Lorenzo Del Bianco, illustrator Luca Maleonte (who also created the mural in the Aula Magna), and content creator Simone Rosini. During the meeting with AANT students, Montefuscoli and Cipolla also announced that anyone interested in taking part in the organization and writing of the podcast episodes will be able to join the Farm, which will be held at the Academy in the coming months.
