Podcast #17 – The city of Agrigento in Sicily

During my last visit at the International Travel Expo in Milan, I had the opportunity to stop by the booth representing the city of Agrigento in Sicily. I recorded the following interview with Donatella Mira who gave me a quick overview of what Agrigento has to offer to its visitors. Enjoy!

Podcast #16 – Folk music from Milan


I CantaMilano are an Italian folk group performing traditional and popular songs from Milan. The lyrics are sometimes in local dialect and they tend to narrate romantic and fun stories of how simple people used to live in the past. I had the pleasure to record a few songs from them during a brief visit to Milan a few months ago.

Podcast #15 – Learn Italian with free podcasts


Podcasts are a wonderful way to learn a new language, and luckily there are several good shows that focus on Italian. My favorites are My Daily Phrase Italian and LearnItalianPod. If you own an iPod or other MP3 player, you can take advantage of this medium to listen to Italian conversations while you are driving, commuting to work or just walking your dog.
It’s powerful, effective and free.

In this episode, I interviewed Max Braglia, producer of the popular and successful language show LearnItalianPod.
Max shared with me some interesting insights on his podcast, how it all started and how he plans to evolve it in the future. Enjoy!
