  • A Great Listen!

    Stumbled across by chance and as a finance guy this was not only very easy to listen too, but very well made and edited. It was somehow entertaining, historical and informative without the bore that some stories and podcasts deliver. Well done!

    Curious, why is Gnecco spelled Ginecco? Rose Gnecco was my Mothers Great Aunt. She has loved listening to this podcast and hearing familiar stories come to life once again.
