The host greets Martians who allegedly tune into local radio frequencies, referencing unexplained historical interference cases in Bologna and Roncis di Monfalcone.

1. Ce Fâ? is a Friulian-language cultural events programme that aired on April 11, 2026, covering the weekend's theatre, music, art, and community events across Friuli-Venezia Giulia. 2. The show is co-hosted by Ferdinando Passone, with the main host providing most of the announcements and commentary in Friulian (Furlan) and Italian. 3. The episode's function is purely calendrical and editorial — there is no central thesis beyond guiding listeners to regional cultural events, with comic asides throughout. 4. The host opens by greeting 'Martians' listening to the broadcast, citing real documented cases of aircraft tuning into local FM frequencies on approach at Bologna and Ronchi di Monfalcone. 5. Leonardo Zanier, described as the poet of Furlan emigration, is mentioned in connection with theatrical readings at Villa d'Oro and San Giorgio di Noiari. 6. The Udine Burlesque Festival is announced at Palamostri di Udine, and a range of theatre companies including Stivalaccio e Teatro (referencing 16th-century Valcamonica commedia traditions) are mentioned. 7. Giacomo Poretti and Daniela Cristofori are named in connection with 'Condominium Mon Amour,' described as a comedy about human relations and automation set in a Milan condominium, performing at Teatri di Pontebba. 8. Alice Quatrilli from the Trieste theatres is associated with the final performances of Madame Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini at the Teatri Verdi of Trieste. 9. Sir John Elliot Gardiner's Constellation Choir and Orchestra — founded two years earlier — is announced for a Bach programme at Teatro Nuovo Giovanni da Udine, with soloists Hilary Crone (soprano) and Jonathan Langley (tenor). 10. The host clarifies that 'Sir' is an honorary British title and not simply 'Signor,' prompting his co-host to joke that neither of them will ever be knighted. 11. A theatre preview from Sacile features 'Fradeo, Solco, Mare e Luna' by Satiro Teatro di Treviso at the small Ruffo theatre — the host describes the venue as very small and intimate. 12. The Ville Manin estate in Passariano di Codroipo hosts a late-night multisensory art event, 'La Notte dei Confini,' with music and visual art closing an exhibition on boundary themes. 13. Ferdinando Passone himself is named as a juror for the 'Vos de Basse' prize ceremony at Villa d'Oro di San Giorgio di Noiari, alongside Gianluca Franco and Diego Navarria. 14. Boris Johnson is named as a guest at the Inc Media Festival ('Dietro le quinte della notizia') in Trieste, with the host quipping he needs a hairdresser and his co-host suggesting he be immediately expelled from Europe. 15. The Adunade dai Furlans (Gathering of the Friulians) takes place in Chiasitempra the following day, with writers Sandro Fabbro, Giovanni De Luca, and Igor Londero presenting works on Friuli's identity. 16. Rock in the City at the Giardino di Udine features DJ Taffi, the Borderlines, the LDV, and La Dolce Vita performing in a mixed-genre evening. 17. Show Your Swing at the Ottagono di Codroipo marks the final evening of the 2025-2026 swing season with the Swing Freaks from Trieste. 18. The programme's tone is warm and conversational, with frequent comic exchanges between host and Ferdinando, code-switching fluidly between Friulian and Italian. 19. The ideal listener is a Friulian resident or diaspora member who wants a comprehensive, opinionated guide to weekend cultural events in the region. 20. Listeners outside Friuli-Venezia Giulia or unfamiliar with Friulian place names will find most of the specific event listings difficult to act on.
