Sea of Rage

In the last episode of Sea of Rage, we travel back to Barbate and investigate what happened on the night of the 9th of February 2024, when two local police officers were killed by narco-gangs. We also meet Spanish prosecutors and researchers, trying to understand what the future might hold for Barbate.

Sea of Rage is a reportage podcast dealing with the borderless narco-trafficking business as seen from the perspective of ordinary people who live in two towns in Southern Europe: Barbate (Andalusìa, Spain) and Gioia Tauro (Calabria, Italy). Over the past few decades, Barbate and Gioia Tauro have become entry points for hashish and cocaine into Europe. But why have these towns become such pivotal places for drug trafficking? And what does it mean to live, day in day out, next door to such dark and murky businesses?

Sea of Rage is an adaptation of the homonymous co-production between Podium Podcast and Chora Media, released in September 2024 under the Spanish and Italian language titles Mar de rabia (Spanish, Podium Podcast) and Mare di rabbia (Italian, Chora Media).

Sea of Rage is part of WePod, a collaborative project financed by the Creative Europe program of the European Commission.

Ep.6: Una Questione Europea

Nov 15, 2024 - 34:39

Il traffico di droga che si muove attraverso il porto di Gioia Tauro e gli altri porti europei, grandi e piccoli, interessa tutti noi. In questa puntata scopriremo che i gradi di separazione tra le nostre vite e un carico di cocaina che aggira i controlli sono meno di quanti possiamo immaginare. E rifletteremo su come l'ndrangheta sia riuscita a cavalcare un sistema economico capitalista e globalizzato senza disperdersi grazie a un forte attaccamento al territorio, alla dimensione famigliare e a riti fortemente locali. Primo tra tutti il consumo di una pietanza di cui sentiremo parlare un giovane pentito, il ghiro arrosto. Le fonti audio sono tratte da: video “Ndrangheta, arrestati 6 latitanti tra Argentina, Costa Rica e Albania” pubblicato sul canale YouTube CityNow il 24 luglio 2020; video “Ganze Sendung” pubblicato sul sito Tagesschau il 15 agosto 2007.

Episodio 6. Silencio

Nov 8, 2024 - 27:55

Nuestras sociedades se construyen en base a silencios y palabras tabú. Y no solo respecto a quienes somos y las identidades que nos queremos atribuir, también se construye con las realidades que preferimos no admitir, pero con las que convivimos cada día. Hemos conocido a Débora, Antonia, Fernando, Montserrat, Mimma o Michele. Pero esta historia, en realidad, no le pertenece a nadie. Es una historia que nos afecta a todos y tiene un único protagonista: el silencio. 

Mar de Rabia es una coproducción de Podium Podcast y Chora Media y pertenece al proyecto WePod financiado por la Unión Europea.
