This is the first in a series of seven episodes.

Fu un diamante rosa a far incontrare il Re del Terrore e Eva, tanti anni fa. Ora quello stesso gioiello fa riaffiorare i ricordi di una giovinezza vissuta tra avventure, delitti, ricatti. La vita di Eva Kant "quando Diabolik non c'era".

It was a pink diamond that made the King of Terror and Eva meet many years ago. Now that same jewel makes the memories resurface of a girlhood filled with adventure, crimes, and blackmail. This is the story of Eva Kant "when Diabolik wasn't there".

Podcast Summary

This is a podcast for intermediate or advanced Italian language learners. You can expand your vocabulary by listening to spoken Italian while you also read the transcript and study the words that are unfamiliar. The best part is that you'll have a lot of fun in the process! "Fumetti" are Italian comic books. The podcasts are comic books that were originally dramatized for Italian radio (RADIO 2).

This podcast will focus mainly on three comic book characters that are incredibly successful in Italy: Tex, Diabolik and Dylan Dog. The podcasts and other materials on the website will show you how deeply the characters have entered the consciousness of contemporary Italian society.

Transcripts are available for download. Please send me comments and suggestions at fumetti@podomatic.com.

Grazie tante!

Ciao a tutti! I took my first Italian language class with some friends in preparation for our vacation in Italy. Needless to say the vacation was an incredible experience. I decided that I would return to Italy as much as possible and I would also continue to learn Italian. Since then I've become the Organizer of the Washington, DC Italian language Meetup group [http://italian.meetup.com/38] and I've returned to Italy many times. Each time I go back to Italy it's even more enjoyable because now I can converse with people in their native language. Italian fumetti [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_comics] are my latest obsession. I've started to read them as much as possible and I'm finding it to be a great way to expand my knowledge of Italian. This podcast is an effort to share my passion with others. Here's an article from the Italian "Comics Blog" about this series of podcasts...clicca qui [http://www.comicsblog.it/post/990/impara-litaliano-con-tex] Enjoy! Buon divertimento!
