Chora Media, Start Magazine’s sex and podcasts
Chora Media's news on podcasts and some half-joking advice for Start Magazine. Francis Walsingham's letter
Dear director,
on the very popular Dagospia (few say they read it but everyone or almost everyone reads it, even some of my friends stationed in London and Washington who deal with intelligence get their information on Italy from D'Agostino's site; think what consideration is had of the main newspapers Italian…) I saw an interesting advertisement: the new podcast of the Chora Media company directed by Mario Calabresi, an esteemed and appreciated journalist, former director of the newspapers La Stampa and Repubblica ( unexpectedly dismissed at the time by the top management of the Gedi group ). The new podcast is called “It's Just Sex.”
The slogan I read is this: “Listen to Chora Media 's podcast 'It's just sex ,' a Culture and Society podcast. A journey through the many horrors and few delights of contemporary sex ."
The advertisement made me remember a recent phone call in which, while talking about this and that, you also told me about Start Magazine about your next podcasts : one on philosophy and one on hybrid wars.
At first, as I also told you, I thought they were interesting projects. But after the publicity of the new podcast by Chora Media ( which is a power in the sector and with high-level and ever-increasing sponsorships ), I have to integrate my opinion.
Of course, your new podcasts in the pipeline are on topics that interest me greatly and I can consider myself not only a collaborator but also a typical reader of Start Magazine . But I invite you to also reflect on this point: if a company like Chora Media and a journalist like Calabresi dedicate themselves to podcasts about sex, it means that this topic cannot be considered snobbishly second-class or popular or vulgar or low-level or just useful for attracting new users.
No, dear director, if a serious, professional, competent and appreciated group like Chora Media deals – obviously with an appropriate posture – with the topic of sex, I think that Start Magazine should also evaluate at least one podcast on the topic.
Obviously respecting and in short staying in line with both the denotation and the journalistic connotation of the newspaper you direct.
This is why I'll give you some ideas for potential podcasts in Start Magazine style, therefore with an economic and/or technological and/or geopolitical and/or energy and/or health and research-related approach.
Here are some examples that came to mind:
- ES(ex)G : “An erotic journey into sustainable finance”
- chIAvare : “When artificial intelligence meets sex: all the innovations in the sector between respect for tradition and high tech evolutions”
- International punishments : “Geopolitical map of new sex trends”
- Sfruculiare : “Useful pills for conscious bondage”
- Ménage : “Ten short home economics lessons to manage your home well (and indulge in some healthy extra-family transgressions)”
- The fool and the fool : “Rediscovering the art of courtship in times of high inflation”
- Lungo & Largo : “How energy trade via pipeline changes after the Ukrainian crisis”
- Football with the ball : “All about sex and other extreme sports”
What do you think about it?
Waiting your feedback.
Cordial greetings,
Francis Walsingham
