As Italian American Heritage Month draws to a close, we’re presenting our first ever “Live” question-and-answer episode direct from our “New Neighborhood” online membership group!

The New Neighborhood is a Place for all Italian Americans… a vibrant, close-knit community centered around our private Facebook group where our most passionate listeners and supporters gather together each day to maintain and deepen their sense of Italian American identity, culture and traditions through interactions with hundreds of other passionate Italian Americans from across the nation, and five of the hardest-working podcast hosts in Italian America.

And this week, we’re kicking off a new tradition by bringing these incredible men and women right into the show, inviting them to ask the questions they’ve been waiting to get answered.  And, because this is the Italian American Podcast, we blew right past the hour-long session we had scheduled and ended up spending two hours answering thought-provoking questions, getting to know our most avid listeners, and — of course — finding ourselves all over the map of Italian American history and culture.

Get ready for the first half of this wonderful evening of personal memories and provocative discussions about our Italian American identity, history and values, all while getting to know a great group of paesani who have made the Italian American Podcast’s New Neighborhood THE place to be in Italian America!
