Propaganda Live is an Italian television talk show, broadcast on LA7 since 2017 and hosted by Diego "Zoro" Bianchi.[1]
Format and production history
[edit]The show runs for approximately 3 hours of live broadcast, and features a live audience and in-studio guests who are interviewed on stage by the host, and the contribution of regular guest journalists in each episode. The set and show design is inspired by a ship, with the stage made to appear like a deck, and craters placed around it.
The show focuses on reports on the main social and political events of the day, made by Zoro himself, with commentary in the studio, with Marco "Makkox" Dambrosio , the creator of the program, being his main interlocutor. The regular cast is completed by a live band consisting of guitarist and singer-songwriter Roberto Angelini and other musicians on various instruments.[2]
The program has as regular guests the journalist from La Stampa Francesca Schianchi and the journalist from TG LA7 Paolo Celata. In the first five seasons the journalist and former director of L'Espresso Marco Damilano appeared as a regular guest. Constanze Reuscher, correspondent in Italy of the German newspaper Die Welt, has also been a frequent guest in the program. From the fifteenth episode singer-songwriter and television personality Memo Remigi has also become a regular guest.[3]
On February 5, 2019, during the Sanremo Music Festival, the show's drummer Fabio Rondanini wore a t-shirt with the Propaganda Live logo during Daniele Silvestri's performance. This was repeated on February 8 during his drumming with the band Calibro 35 who accompanied Ghemon and Diodato's performance.[4]
For the first two seasons, the Roman taxi driver Mirko "Missouri 4" Matteucci was also a regular guest, who often conducted witty polls together with Leonardo Parata.[5]
The show also features regular monologue segments, where Italian celebrities, journalists, and other notable people give their views about various social, political and cultural topics. Actress Antonella Attili has been one of the frequent monologue guests.[6]
On December 31, 2020, a special 4-hour episode aired on the occasion of the New Year's Eve party. For the occasion, the ordinary format was enriched with many guests and the drawing of a tombola with prizes.[7]
