While the topics in this podcast are interesting, I find the host to be far too giggly. She sounds like a teenage girl in her expressions and tone and while her guests are interesting, I found her incessant giggling and laughing quite annoying after a few episodes. Too bad because her subject matter is engaging. And I’m not old btw - just prefer a more moderate, “adult-like” host. Not terrible, just irritating after a while

As an Italian immigrant (second generation) I’ve always analysed the Italian culture from a unique perspective and was fascinated by differences across Italian regions. This podcast is putting all pieces of the puzzle together for me and taking me from one aha moment to an other. Thank you Catrin for creating this thoughtful and culturally sensitive podcast. Keep up the great work!
This is a very well thought out show. Finally, a podcast that does not deal with Italy in terms of clichès. As an Italian, I recommend this to all English language listeners out there who are curious or passionate about Italy ❤️
