Mafalda Banquart and Emanuel Santos

To listen to what Plato said to Ariana Grande is to resist the stubbornness of opposing serious and informal, erudite and mainstream, online and offline, technology and live encounter, distance and proximity, virtual and real, true and false. What Plato Said To Ariana Grande is thus a podcast-show whose episodes can be enjoyed in the theatre and/or through earphones. Through themes and guests, we explore dialogue as a strategy for reflection common to philosophy and podcasts. If in episodes #1 and #2 we used Emanuele Coccia to discuss the fantasies experienced in our teenage bedrooms while listening to Nelly Furtado and Britney Spears, in episode #3 we continue to talk about the production of our identity through the intertwining of our religious upbringing with our pop references. — Mafalda Banquart and Emanuel Santos
