Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 140: Ciao Ragazzi da La Mortazza! Featuring Raffaella Taraborrelli
Q: Why is the cafe named La Mortazza, and what does the Mortazza nickname signify?
Mortazza is a playful nod to mortadella; it signifies big personality, appealing aroma, and vibrant pink color, which the guests feel mirrors the cafe's character.
Episode 140: Ciao Ragazzi da La Mortazza! Featuring Raffaella Taraborrelli
Q: How did La Mortazza start and what was the role of the husband's family in shaping the cafe?
Raffaella explains that the venue originated from her husband's relatives' corner block, which evolved into a cafe under the apartments, driven by a shared dream and heart-led decisions rather than rigid plans.
Episode 137: More than Music, Gianni Capri’s Story
Q: What is the balance like between teaching and pursuing music?
He describes a busy schedule where teaching piano dominates weekdays, making late-night music sessions precious, yet he remains committed to creating and performing music when time allows.
Episode 137: More than Music, Gianni Capri’s Story
Q: How would you describe your musical genre and the process behind finishing songs?
Gianni explains his music as singer-songwriter pop, with tracks written years earlier and released after careful production; he emphasizes finishing songs efficiently and staying true to the simplicity of the idea rather than overproducing.
Episode 138: It's not Easter without Pastiera featuring The Little Italian Cook
Q: What inspired you to document the family recipes and start an Instagram page?
The drive came from realizing how important these food memories are and wanting to preserve them for my brother, my family, and future generations, especially after my grandmother and family elders who knew the recipes began aging. The Instagram page grew into a cookbook as a way to share those traditions more broadly.
