    This podcast doesn’t evoke the scenes of the country. I’ve listened to 6 episodes and they were all little more than long advertisements. I also find the host’s voice to be annoying and whiny.

    There is definitely a love for Italy in the content of this podcast but it is tainted by the underlying capitalism and marketing behind most of the conversations. By the fourth episode it felt like a series of commercials for hotels and tour companies, making me doubt the authenticity of the content.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode #30: Moving to Turin on Italy's Digital Nomad Visa
Q: What has surprised you the most about Turin specifically?
Bossardt says the welcoming, social expatriate community exceeded her expectations. She found friends through the International Women's Club of Turin and other groups, despite initially feeling lonely and working remotely.
Episode #30: Moving to Turin on Italy's Digital Nomad Visa
Q: Where were you in your life, and how did you make that switch?
After a decade in New York City, Bossardt returned to Virginia during the pandemic, started a digital marketing business, and eventually felt suburban life did not suit her. Italy's Digital Nomad Visa gave her a legal route to pursue her long-held goal of living there.
Episode #31: American Raising a Family in Torino
Q: And what do you think about, so do you live in the center or outskirts?
Piacente lives just outside central Turin, near the borders with two other towns. She says the housing market is difficult, especially for renters, and that available homes can be expensive.
Episode #31: American Raising a Family in Torino
Q: And so what were your first impressions of Torino? Coming from Dallas, I mean, what a difference, right?
Piacente found Turin very different from the car-dependent places where she had lived in Texas. She liked its new metro but initially felt unsure because she did not know the language or anyone there.
Episode #29: What It Is Really Like to Move to Italy, Especially Milan
Q: How have you found health care to be?
TenBrink says healthcare in Milan has been good overall, though some clinicians spoke little or no English and waits for some tests and procedures can be significant. His husband translated during a hospitalization.
