Description
Silvio Berlusconi was a charismatic multi-millionaire real-estate mogul who upended the Italian political order and hypnotized an entire nation. He was one of the longest-serving prime ministers of one of the world’s wealthiest countries, until he was brought down by three powerful women - and two words: “Bunga Bunga.” From Wondery, the makers of Dirty John and The Shrink Next Door, and hosted by comedian Whitney Cummings, “Bunga Bunga” is an eight part series on the incredible true story of the rise and fall of Silvio Berlusconi, told with Whitney’s signature wit and style.

Why does she keep saying Frickin!? It's so annoying.
Enjoyed the podcast but found the host/narrator very annoying
Fun podcasts but why so much foul language ?
Why do these women think we care about their politics? Great podcast till I listened to these 2.
wonderful podcast. absolutely bunga bunga!
absolutely loved this series. my husband is from Italy and remembers this well, and confirmed accuracy of the facts presented during this podcast. highly recommend.
Oofff. I feel dirty. What disgusting people. Dirty old men and gold digging putanas
trist is the best podcast i ever lisend to its like a move
Good job, Whitney et al! Now I dare you to tell Trump he is merely a copycat. Go on, I dare ya! 😂😂😂😂😂
I liked the series and I don't like ads so I just skipped them. it's very easy.
Theme song sounds a whole lot like Jungle Book's I Wanna Be Like You. See? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FOTZJ8EFgpk
This series should have ended at episode 5. it was totally dragged over to advertise. Good but pump on the breaks with the ads, guys. They're too many.
very good. interesting and loved whitney as the host. worth the listen.
without doubt one of the worst podcasts I've had the misfortune of listening to. the narrative is atrocious. most of the show is actually commercials and frankly its just.. well.. boring
I'm listening from Zimbabwe. Thanks for the shout out LOL 🙈 The comparison really put things into perspective though.
Release the new episodes already. You left us on a cliff hanger. I believe those on wondery+ have now listened their fill. Release the episodes.#moreplease
over produced. its distracting from the story.
Great story. Puts Trump in the shade. Confirms again we are on average who we elect.
I've heard the punchline differently, which I think is better... When the man chooses death, the tribe leader claps his hands and shouts "Death... By Bunga Bunga!"
this guy sounds a lot like trump!!
