Emanuele
Dear Mr. Crooke,
We don’t know each other personally, so let me introduce myself:
I am Emanuele Triggiani, one of the editors of the Italian Giubbe Rosse News, a blog that has between 80,000 and 120,000 users daily. I am personally registered on your site and I translate your articles into Italian, which are of extraordinary interest to our readers.
For this reason, I ask you if you might be interested in a podcast with us, obviously in English, but with a simultaneous translator into Italian. Should you accept, this would follow the one with the French philosopher Alain de Benoist two weeks ago.
We leave it up to you to choose the precise topic, which should possibly concern the current political situation.
Thank you for your attention and patience.
Sincerely yours
Emanuele Triggiani
