Ciao.  We are super excited to launch The Italian American Podcast!  The first podcast dedicated to helping Italian Americans share and learn about their Italian heritage.

Episode Quote:
I know that I come from mid-20th century America, urban, specifically downtown New York, specifically an Italian-American area, Roman Catholic - that's who I am. And a part of what I know is there's a decency to people who tried to make a living in the kind of world that was around us and also the Skid Row area of the Bowery; it impressed me." - Martin Scorsese
Tweetables (Please share):
