Episode 29: Il sogno degli italiani del secolo scorso– il posto fisso

 Welcome to the Italian Escape Podcast!

Today, before we start the podcast, we’d like to make a small announcement.

Roughly one year ago, we launched the Italian Escape Podcast to provide more resources for beginners and intermediate Italian language learners and give you confidence in learning the language.

At first many thought that this was a crazy idea and that it would be impossible to maintain it.

And yet here we are one year later, with hundreds of listeners tuning in to our episodes.

So, THANK YOU dear listeners for following us in this bilingual journey.

Now we need your help. If you think that our podcast has helped you in any way please grab your phone now and send us a message.

Do it now.  

We need your help and support to keep on delivering free and valuable content.

Let us know how our podcast helped you.

And now let’s dive into our episode.

In today’s episode we are going to talk about the mythical posto fisso.

There’s a dream circulating in Italy about “posto fisso”, the jobs from which you cannot get fired from easily while getting a lot of benefits from the government.

Because of these long term unfirable jobs, Italian companies are struggling to keep innovating as quickly as other countries within and outside the EU.

In this episode, we discussed its cultural significance, its history, and its influence in Italy today.
