Abstract :We interviewed Professor Peppino Ortoleva, a distinguished Italian scholar of Media History and Theory at the University of Turin (Italy), who has long investigated the cultural and social implications of communication in contemporary societies. His work has outlined how media shape the transmission of historical knowledge, while also examining the enduring presence of myths within modern and postmodern culture. In this interview, Professor Ortoleva addresses key aspects of his research, from the coexistence of high- and low-intensity myths to the transformations brought about by digital media. He also reflects on the rise of new sound media -particularly podcasts- which he considers a distinct form of storytelling that combines rhythm, words, and sounds, opening new possibilities for communication and education.
