Minimal Tales

Beyond the mouth - second half

Welcome back to Beyond the Mouth, second half. In the first episode we walked with Mariano as he restored the ancient stone channel with the help of his friend Bob Rasta. We left him quietly basking in the pride of an almost-finished work, with just a few final stones missing. Today we follow him and Anna on that fateful Halloween afternoon… and we step beyond the mouth. Let’s continue the story right where we left off.

Beyond the mouth - first half

Welcome, dear listeners, to the very first episode of Beyond the Mouth. Today we embark on a journey through time and stone on the mysterious Island of Freedom. We’ll follow an ancient, nameless drainage channel that has quietly protected the land for centuries… and the man who decided to bring it back to life. Stay with me as the story begins.

The father who speaks

A boy once terrified of the dark and infinity grows into a man haunted by his father's death. He searches for signs from beyond—a self-lighting lamp, snapping guitar strings, a bat at the cemetery—clinging to a childhood promise that the dead might still speak. In "The Father Who Speaks," an intimate, raw narration explores grief, longing, and the fragile hope that love echoes beyond silence. Listen if you've ever felt the weight of unspoken goodbyes.

Fiat Uno 60SX

Take a deep breath and travel back to 1989 Italy… when everything still seemed beautiful. This is my love letter to the Fiat Uno 60 SX — the car that carried all the hope, freedom and wild optimism of the 80s. One ride, one story, one unforgettable feeling. Welcome to the episode.

Dracula and Rimbo on the bed

Tonight’s story takes us to a tranquil Italian island in the western Mediterranean – a place of wild countryside, olive trees, and stony earth. It’s a tale of two very different cats, a solitary literature teacher who found equilibrium in books and solitude, and one extraordinary night when illness brought forth a healing that defies explanation. Settle in comfortably, perhaps with your own cat curled nearby… and let’s begin. This episode includes AI-generated content.
