Benvenuti!...and welcome to Bad Italians! We are Steven and Jess! In this season of the podcast, we talk about what it’s like to grow up as Italian-Americans. How we try to keep Italian customs alive, (nonna’s pasta dishes, family traditions), while understanding none of it! In our show, we openly talk about relationships, dating advice, pop culture, friendship, along with trying to understand Italy better with ending each episode with an Italian word or fact of the day! Come join us as we talk about life, and attempt to make ourselves mediocre Italians at best.

    This episode is based on a livestream that Steven and I did. We have a blast and talk about a variety of topics! We hope you enjoy and please let us know your thoughts! Do you like this better? Because it is not a typical Bad Italians episode, it does not include a Mamma Mia moment or a fact/ word of the day. That will be back in episode 5! Grazie!
