March 2, 2026·6 min
The episode opens with Angie celebrating the 1001st episode of her show, Rassegnata Stampa, and quickly recaps the weekend's events. She mentions Saldavinci's victory at Sanremo and his acceptance for Eurovision, alongside the announcement of Stefano De Martino as future host, which excited Naples. Angie then recounts a humorous yet ironic story from Rome, where police officers celebrated a colleague's retirement with unauthorized fireworks, risking a fire and leading to disciplinary action by Questore Roberto Massucci. This segues into a broader, more serious discussion on Middle Eastern geopolitics. Angie reports that the death of Iran's supreme leader has triggered massive flight disruptions, with over 5,000 cancellations affecting key hubs like Dubai and Doha, where she personally has often transited. She explains that more than 25,000 passengers have been rerouted, facing issues like fuel shortages and tire changes. Angie critiques the role of social media in this crisis, noting that influencers and figures like Italy's minister Crosetto being stranded create a skewed perception of severity, as images of bombed airports are alarming but not reflective of all areas, like Dubai which isn't at war. She reflects on how Western audiences are more shocked by such disruptions than by ongoing conflicts like Israel-Iran or Gaza, due to familiarity biases. The episode concludes with Angie expressing personal fear and anxiety about the potential for a world war, as European capitals prepare for counterattacks, and she hopes the month won't lead to further escalation.
