  • 3 World Cup Questions

    3 World Cup Questions
    Dec 21 2022
    Simon was recently a guest on The Gentleman Ultra Podcast, with host Frank Risorto, as part of the "3 World Cup Questions" series to discuss his favourite moments, matches and teams in World Cup history.

    In a wide-ranging discussion about his passion for the Azzurri, Simon talks about being there in Berlin to witness Italy win its fourth World Cup in 2006, plus the teams, players and tournaments which fed his passion for calcio at a young age. A passion which, ultimately, has lead to the creation of the Serie A Chronicles podcast.
    Listen to this preview, and hear the full episode via The Gentleman Ultra on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Big Willy Slappin' with Anthony Locascio

    Big Willy Slappin' with Anthony Locascio
    Apr 2 2022

    Comedian Anthony Locascio is back on the pod with Mel, Dom and Simon, smack bang in the middle of his Australian comedy tour: "Don't Call Me a Wog!".


    We discuss:

    • The Will Smith Oscars slap on Chris Rock, and Anthony has his own hard luck story of being slapped on stage.
    • Italy's disappointing mis-qualification for another World Cup, what's wrong with Italian football, who we want to see win the World Cup, and who will win Serie A.
    • Shane Warne, the Diego Maradona of cricket.
    • The war in Ukraine.
    • And the farce of Italian bureaucracy as Anthony has a long wait for an Italian passport.


    Anthony's full Australian tour dates can be found at his Instagram.


    Perth listeners can find tickets for 6 & 7 May 2022 at perthcomedyfestival.com/event/anthony-locascio-dont-call-me-a-wog.


    Check out Anthony's YouTube channel to watch his excellent comedy special at the Sydney Comedy Festival Gala.

  • Half Italian, Half Greek, Half Aussie ft. Comedian Anthony Locascio

    Half Italian, Half Greek, Half Aussie ft. Comedian Anthony Locascio
    Oct 28 2021
    We enjoyed this conversation with Comedian and Podcaster, Anthony Locascio.

    Anthony is the host of the Kevin Lasagna Appreciation Podcast, and is known for his sharp wit and unique storytelling, as well as his musings on his very interesting Italian and Greek background.

    We discuss his comedy career, our common cultural backgrounds, our respective podcasts, our shared love and passion for football, especially of the Italian kind, and he even has a very interesting perspective on the current controversy over Dave Chapelle's latest Netflix special.

    When listening to this episode you'll have an appreciation for the Italian name Kevin, want to cook a lasagna for your next Sunday family lunch, and you'll laugh at the clips of Anthony's standup comedy.

    Check out Anthony's YouTube channel to watch his excellent comedy special at the Sydney Comedy Festival Gala.

    Reflections on 20 years since September 11
    Sep 25 2021
    Mel and Simon reflect on what has happened in the 20 years since September 11, the significance of the event on the world, and the repercussions that we are seeing to this day because of the events of that day.

    We also discuss the United States military's bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, an update on our COVID-19 vaccinations, and the effects of Australia's state border closures.

    Plus we have a business update, as we have created a media production company, Media Chronicles, which now produces an Italian football podcast called Serie A Chronicles, hosted by well known British football journalists.

  • The World We Live In

    The World We Live In
    Apr 26 2021
    We have an update on the future of the podcast.

    It's Mel & Simon this week, as Dom headed out of town before Perth was thrown into lockdown, with new COVID-19 cases coming out of hotel quarantine again and spreading into the community.

    We discuss how the state's Premier, Mark McGowan, has NOT "kept us safe", despite the media and a naive public lapping up his rhetoric that he has kept us safe, and how his government has been incompetent and negligent in allowing the latest outbreak from quarantine in to the community.

    And we have our say on the European Super League controversy that arose last week.

    Then we finish with a classic. One of the most inspirational speeches in recorded history, by Charlie Chaplin in the 1940 American political satire comedy-drama film, "The Great Dictator", which he wrote, directed, produced, scored and starred in.

  • Up Klose with Karl

    Up Klose with Karl
    Mar 20 2021
    We're livestreaming the podcast on Facebook with a special guest!

    It's a robust family affair with listener Karl. He's Mel and Dom's cousin and a keen listener of the Chronicles, and he's lucky enough to get his mug on camera in this 4-way free-for-all.
    The 4 of us begin with some Italian soccer trash talk before we get into the rape accusations leveled at Australia's Attorney General, Christian Porter. And it's a very interesting discussion with some varied opinions.
    Some state vs federal politics talk.
    We also discuss Joe Biden's mental state and U.S. politics.
    And we finish up our chat with a bit about The Sopranos, funny movies, and Karl's favourite topic: conspiracies.
    Then we close the show with Stevie Van Zandt talking about being Silvio Dante on The Sopranos and Bruce Springsteen's sidekick in the E Street Band.
