60 acast.com <![CDATA[The Outsiders' Report ]]> https://shows.acast.com/the-outsiders-report en Gian Matteo Sacchetti journalism The Outsiders’ Report is a podcast, conceived and created by Gaia Lamperti, Gian Matteo Sacchetti, Stefano Fasano and Clizia Sala.

The idea behind it is to keep up to date with the world, looking at the dark side of the news – or talking about the more under the radar stories, if you prefer.

In our show, you will find only those stories you’d normally need time, patience and interest to scout from the dark corners of your favourite online magazine.

As our journalistic education got pretty much busted by now - as the biggest pandemic of the century spreads across the world, and how lucky we are -, we decided to use our unfinished, unpolished and unchecked skills to bring you stories that will make you raise an eyebrow in the worst-case scenario. 

Ideally, we would have you smashing that like button and sharing our show with your friends.

But we guess trust must be earned, so… start listening to us every week, from the dark dusty corners of the news.

And, as Europe prepares to enter the second phase of the lockdown, we are going to see all the uncertainties that this 'new normality' entails, especially for the hospitality industry.

Girls! Then why don't they get tailored protection? 

In this episode, we see how women, the vast majority of frontline workers during the outbreak, are finding personal protective equipment (PPE) neither comfortable nor safe. 

We will also guide you through a second ongoing pandemic, the invasion of locusts attacking crops across East Africa, and dig into your weirdest coronavirus anxiety-induced dreams. 

If you are now getting worried that not even sleep will give you respite from the virus, watch professional wrestling to put your mind off - the US has officially declared WWE an essential service. Priorities, we guess.

And that is exactly why the virus keeps expanding.

This week Covid-19 created a chaotic situation among the top ranks of the US Navy, while over 120 infected people are stuck on a cruise ship anchored off the coast of Uruguay.

In this episode, we also talk about India, where the lockdown is widening social inequalities and escalating Islamophobia.

On the extreme opposite, Sweden is the last fortress of liberty as the only European country without a mandatory lockdown. In the meanwhile, keep an eye out for antibody testing and dogs, they might solve the crisis

While some are running a marathon in their garden, others sip holy cow urine to get immunity from the virus.


We will also see how Russia, the largest country on the globe, has less confirmed cases of Covid-19 than Iceland, one of the least populated states in Europe, and how Chinese propaganda is taking advantage of the crisis by offering international aid.


There is also positive news out there. While the world is still rushing to find a vaccine for Coronavirus, a man in the UK has made a full recovery from HIV.
