  • Great podcast if you can hear it

    I have listened, tried to listen to this podcast for almost 5 years, the problem isn’t with the content- but the atrocious sound quality- currently the episode is completely silent- other times, Dr Calgary and Ms Parla are clearly using the speakerphone feature in their phones and the audience suffers - i wish the two of them would devote as much time to their audio quality as they do to over emphasizing their mastery of Italians rolling “R’s and enchanting “gli” sounds- they are truly brilliant... more

  • Way to Much Background Music.

    Background music is unbearable and distracts so much you cannot hear the presentation. Horrible.

  • A Disappearing Podcast

    It used to be that Gola provided some unusual insights into things related to the Italian table and wines. And I used to be a supporter. But then a couple years ago, for some unknown reason, the podcasts became fewer— much farer between.

    As I type this, it is mid-January 2024, but the most recent entry in their website is Feb. 2, 2022, almost two years ago.

  • Wow!

    I was looking forward to intelligent, thoughtful and stimulating exchanges. Instead, I feel as if I’ve eavesdropped on a sorority sleepover.

    These girl/women may well possess the knowledge and worldly intellect to command their chosen topic, but their goofy, playful, childlike speech patterns (insert the annoying “upspeak”) dilute what could become an informative, entertaining and compelling podcast.

    Bless your hearts.
