  • Incredible and thoughtful piece of content!

    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!

  • Italian culture and traditions, beyond clichés

    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 ❤️
