There are travel experiences… and then there are stories you tell for the rest of your life. Total Tuscany Podcast Episode 97 delivers one of those stories, taking listeners deep into the heart of Italy with Dream Italy's unforgettable Viva Italia Experience. The episode marks a long-awaited return for the podcast, and hosts Travis Justice and Pat Campagna come back swinging with a conversation that perfectly captures what Total Tuscany has always been about: extraordinary experiences over ordinary trips. Their guest, Giorgio Dell'Artino, founder of Dream Italy, doesn't just sell tours—he curates once-in-a-lifetime moments. Viva Italia began with a simple but brilliant idea. Why not let travelers experience Tuscany the way Italians dream about it—behind the wheel of a world-class luxury car, carving through the rolling hills of Siena? What started with two exotic cars has evolved into a fully immersive, fully supported self-drive luxury experience spanning Tuscany, Italy, and even parts of France. Picture this: you slide into a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Maserati, the engine growling as vineyard-lined roads unfold in front of you. A professional tour leader guides the route. Every detail—fuel, logistics, hotels, meals, parking, and support—is handled. You don't worry about directions, traffic rules, or flat tires. You simply drive, savor, and experience Italy in a way very few ever will. As Giorgio explains, Viva Italia isn't about reckless speed. It's about control, confidence, and connection—to the road, the landscape, and the culture. The routes are carefully chosen for beauty and safety, with moments where drivers can truly feel what these cars were built to do. And yes, guests even rotate cars during the tour, giving them the chance to experience multiple vehicles. What makes this episode especially compelling is the depth of Dream Italy's philosophy. Since 1997, Giorgio has personally built relationships with nearly 2,000 top-tier suppliers—from five-star hotels and historic castles to private yachts, Michelin-level dining, and exclusive cultural access. Every Viva Italia itinerary is customized, whether it's a two-day Tuscan escape or a multi-day journey from Rome to Milan, Venice to the Dolomites, Sicily, or the French Riviera. The conversation also highlights why Tuscany remains Italy's most beloved region: art, food, wine, history, countryside, and soul—all in one place. Yet Viva Italia proves that Italy can still surprise even the most seasoned traveler. This is more than a driving tour. It's luxury travel redefined, where time is valued, privacy is protected, and memories are guaranteed. If you've ever dreamed of Italy—and dreamed big—Episode 97 of the Total Tuscany Podcast will make you want to turn the key, press the accelerator, and shout it loud: Viva Italia.

This week, Scott and Mackenzie con their way to the French Riviera as they take on David Yazbek and Jeffrey Lane's Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. They unpack Scott's personal history with the show and what it taught him about staging farce. Along the way, they debate whether the show's characters truly get enough comeuppance for modern audiences and wrestle with how contemporary productions can—and should—address the piece's more troubling elements, particularly its use of ableism, without losing the engine of the comedy.All this and nothing is too wonderful to be true in this all-new episode!Don't forget to leave us a review and share your thoughts on this episode on our social media pages.

Tonight, as part of Snoozecast's seventh annual spooky sleep story series, we'll read “The Haunted Orchard” written by British author Richard Le Gallienne and published in 1912. Each October, our Spooky Stories Series features classic tales that are more atmosphere than fright, all candlelight and creaking floorboards. In this one, a quiet country house and its untended orchard hold a lingering presence; whispers of a young woman seen among the trees and a tune that seems to rise with the wind give the story its soft, ghostly pulse. Born Richard Thomas Gallienne, the author adopted “Le Gallienne” after college, and—captivated by a lecture from Oscar Wilde—left office work to write poetry and prose. He and Wilde later struck up a brief affair and lasting friendship. Le Gallienne married three times and fathered Eva Le Gallienne, the celebrated actor–director. After settling in the United States and later on the French Riviera, he refused to write wartime propaganda and nonetheless kept publishing well into his seventies. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

In this episode of The Brick Session, Mark and Caroline dive into a packed weekend of racing news, starting with the Ironman World Championships in Nice. With the legendary Kona course giving way to the French Riviera this year, the event sparked considerable debate. Mark and Caroline unpack the brutal bike course that left its mark on the field, reflected in a notably high DNF rate. They question whether Nice was given a fair chance to prove itself as a long-term alternative to Kona, or if the tradition of Hawaii will always overshadow any new host.The conversation naturally turns to the race dynamics, where the Norwegians once again proved their dominance, sweeping the podium with a remarkable top-three finish. Mark and Caroline explore what makes their approach so consistently successful, and what this says about the future of long-distance triathlon.Closer to home, Caroline shares her personal experience at the British Gravel Championships held in Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire. In a race that attracted some of the UK's best off-road talent, she put in a gritty performance to take 8th place overall — a standout achievement at 46 years old. Together, they reflect on the growth of gravel racing in the UK, the technical demands of the Dalby course, and what draws so many athletes to the discipline.It's an episode that balances the global stage of triathlon with the personal stories of racing at home — packed with insight, opinion, and the usual dose of Brick Session honesty.

J Wall and Uncle Gene are back from a late-summer break with news of a putter that can be all things and a whole lot of golf ball talk.

Was the Grand Alliance simply a partnership born of necessity? Or was it also a missed opportunity for post-war civilizational cooperation among the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union? Once it became clear that the Allies would eventually defeat Hitler's Germany, the varying post-war ambitions and political goals of Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt quickly brought cooperation to an end. Humanities West asks on the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II: What were Stalin's strategic goals for Russia's and its neighbors' futures as victory became assured? How did Churchill's strategies to retain as much as possible of the British Empire interfere with those goals? And was an aging Roosevelt capable of thwarting both those strategies and imposing, however inadequately and insincerely, a vision of Pax Americana on the globe? "From Their Archives" Norman Naimark will attempt to untangle what Stalin was thinking about how he wanted to shape the future once it was clear that the Allies would win the war. There is much we still do not know about Stalin's “real” intentions, but the opening of the Soviet archives for research in the 1990s offer important insights into the way the Soviet dictator thought about the world. "In Their Own Words" Ian Morris will convey, in their own words, Churchill's and Roosevelt's perspectives on the Grand Alliance and the post-war world order. Churchill: I can never trust Stalin but can in the fullness of time talk around Roosevelt; and even without India, we can rebuild the world with the British Empire at its core. Roosevelt: I can usually handle Stalin and can always flatter Churchill; it's the Republicans I can't abide. But even without them, we can rebuild the world with democracy and American money at its core. "Walking in a Father's WWII Footsteps" Bill Hammond will describe walking in a father's WWII footsteps, an October 2023 trip to Europe he took with two of his brothers, where they traced their father's path from his landing at Salerno, Italy, through Avellino, Monte Cassino and Rome, to his landing on the French Riviera at St. Raphael, and then up through Draguignan, Remiremont and the Foret Domaniale du Champ du Feu, earning two silver stars and two purple hearts before crossing the Rhine in a dash through southern Germany to finish the war near Kufstein, Austria.

Luxury isn't about excess anymore. It isn't the jam-packed itineraries, the bursting closets, or the endless noise. The new luxury is about sanctuary, authenticity, and quiet moments that actually restore you.   In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what this shift means and why quiet, immersive travel will be your antidote to burnout in 2026 and beyond. We'll talk...   How “hospitality as sanctuary” is redefining luxury travel and why fewer choices can actually feel more indulgent. Why authenticity is the ultimate form of access, and how insider moments matter more than tourist checklists.  What “quiet luxury” really means outside of fashion, and how you can weave it into your everyday life through simple rituals.  How I design my retreats in the French Riviera around depth, not distraction, so my guests can truly soften, reset, and be cared for. By the end of this episode, you'll see that true luxury isn't about what you accumulate, it's about how you live, slowly, intentionally, and beautifully. Because luxury isn't something you buy, it's something you create.   Useful Resources:

What happens when glamour meets scandal, and resilience triumphs over adversity? Join us as we sit down with Countess Ilene Medecin, the former First Lady of Nice, France, in Episode 253 of Late Boomers. Discover her electrifying journey from a family in Beverly Hills with roots stemming from legends in organized crime and the Hollywood makeup industry to the aristocratic circles of the French Riviera. Uncover the dramatic tales from her memoir, "Arrested," featuring political controversies, jail time, and high-society scandals. Tune in for a tale of strength, survival, and hope that will leave you inspired. Don't miss this captivating episode!Countess Ilene Medecin's Bio:Ilene Médecin's life is a tapestry of glamour, intrigue, and resilience. As the only American, aside from Princess Grace Kelly, to attain the esteemed position of First Lady of Nice and the French Riviera, Ilene's story is both unique and captivating. Born and raised in the heart of Beverly Hills, California, with two famous uncles—Max Factor, the iconic cosmetic mogul, and Jake the Barber, a pivotal figure in the rise of Las Vegas—Ilene's path to prominence seemed almost destined.“Arrested” is a riveting memoir that takes you through Ilene's extraordinary journey, from her star-studded upbringing to her glamorous and, at times, perilous life on the French Riviera. Marrying Jacques Médecin, a Medici Count affectionately known as “King Jacquou,” Ilene found herself at the center of a century-old political dynasty. Together, they mingled with royals, celebrities, and politicians, sharing their social circle with the likes of Princess Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier.Ilene's life, akin to a storybook Camelot, saw her at the pinnacle of a fantasy existence. However, this enchanting narrative took a dramatic turn, leading her from the heights of societal acclaim to the depths of a French prison cell. Amidst trysts and scandals, Ilene was unprepared for the fall of a prominent political family and her eventual arrest for her husband's alleged misdeeds. Jacques's career ended in a puzzling political exile in Uruguay, a stark contrast to his previous stature as Mayor of Nice, President of Alpes-Maritimes, French Minister of Tourism, and Member of Parliament.Connect with Ilene:Website: https://countessilenemedecin.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/countessilenemedecin/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/countessilenemedecinYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@countessilenemedecinBook: https://www.amazon.com/Arrested-Memoir-American-France-Riviera/dp/1667882406?&linkCode=sl1&tag=wrina...Thank you for listening.

What if your next favorite European destination wasn't a capital city or a tourist hotspot, but somewhere you've never even heard of?

Or perhaps even a fairytale-like walled city in northern England, complete with ghost stories and Harry Potter lore.In this episode of Traveling with AAA, host Angie Orth welcomes Gerald Tan, travel and food journalist and host of the series T'Sol Food. Gerald shares his favorite lesser-known cities in Europe where you can escape the crowds, eat like a local, and experience culture in its most authentic form.You'll hear how a detour to a tiny town led to 13 scoops of gelato in 12 hours, why one city has exclusive rights to send palm fronds to the Vatican, and how hiking across an entire country in five days is actually possible. Whether you're planning your next big trip or just dreaming of one, this episode is packed with inspiration to help you travel slower, a little off-the-beaten-path, and with more authenticity in mind.What You'll Learn:01:33 The allure of smaller, less tourist-heavy destinations03:47 Creating more authentic local connections09:07 An Italian town with royal ties and seafront views15:59 Where to find Diagon Alley in real life22:38 A place with an 8,000-year wine legacy and unique geographyConnect with Gerald Tan:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boulangerry/Website: https://boulangerry.com/What's the most authentic, off-the-beaten-path European destination you've visited?

Summers in Louisiana tend to linger longer than elsewhere in the U.S., and for many locals, the heat is a perfect excuse to skip town for more exotic destinations. But for those of us who plan to stick around, there are plenty of ways to take a vacation without needing to pack a bag. On this week's show, we travel virtually to the French Riviera with New Orleans chef Samuel Peery. Finding inspiration from coastal brasseries in French cities like Nice and Marseille, Sam has created a menu at the Kimpton Hotel's King Brasserie that offers a taste of the Côte d'Azur only half a mile from the Mississippi River. Over at The Bell, a British-inspired pub in New Orleans' Mid-City neighborhood, locals can stop in for an ale or lager served in imperial pints – or dine in a room decked in tartan fabrics, dark woods, and Union Jack flags. Owner Andrew Bell tells us how he went from a career in professional soccer to become a British publican in the Pelican State. Finally, we get a behind-the-scenes look at Exhibition Hub's newest immersive exhibit in New Orleans. Titanic: An Immersive Voyage takes visitors back to 1912 to experience the ship as a passenger on its ill-fated maiden voyage. Executive producer John Zaller tells us about the exhibition and the important role food played on the luxury liner. For more of all things Louisiana Eats, be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Gavin Sharpe discuss:The role of emotional intelligence and mindset in personal and professional growthChallenges and misconceptions around business development for lawyersThe importance of authenticity and strategic networking in rainmakingPersonal evolution through coaching, self-awareness, and internal firm collaboration Key Takeaways:Many lawyers struggle to grow their book of business, not due to a lack of talent but because of internalized fears, self-imposed pressure to conform to extroverted norms, and a misunderstanding of what rainmaking truly requires.Introverted lawyers can excel at business development when they lean into structured systems, authentic communication, and consistent habits that align with their personality rather than trying to emulate traditional sales-driven approaches.By breaking down ambitious goals into small, specific, and manageable actions—such as reaching out to just five contacts instead of a daunting hundred—lawyers are far more likely to follow through and build lasting momentum.Significant untapped business opportunities often exist within a lawyer's firm, where cross-disciplinary collaboration and internal networking are overlooked despite their potential to unlock valuable client relationships and referrals. "The traits that most lawyers share is that instinctively... we're low in empathy... we're thin-skinned... we're not that resilient." —  Gavin Sharpe Unlock the secrets of the industry's top rainmakers with Be That Lawyer: 101 Top Rainmakers' Secrets to Growing a Successful Law Practice.

Hear about travel to the French Riviera as the Amateur Traveler talks to travel writer and children's book author Kimberley Lovato about this region where she has had a pied-à-terre for years. Why should you go to the French Riviera? Kimberley says, "Certainly for people who love great hotels and Michelin star food and gorgeous scenery, you know what's not to love? We have the Cannes Film Festival. But, if you love beaches, hiking, and museums, I hate the cliche 'there's something for everyone', but in this case, it is true. Beaches, food, hotels, small, quaint, charming, and picture-perfect villages. It's all really here, easy to get around." Arrival & Base Fly into Nice, the region's main airport. Base yourself in Nice, Cannes, or Sainte-Maxime, depending on your interests—city, beach, or quieter village.

Gun fights, heroin trafficking, burglaries, kidnapping threats, intra-band infidelity and the greatest rock ‘n' roll record ever made, Exile on Main St. The Rolling Stones created this album as fugitives––tax fugitives––exiled from their homeland to the French Riviera and desperate to keep their career afloat after a near decade of scandal and near financial ruin amidst a cast of colorful characters including Gram Parsons, Anita Pallenberg, starlets, aristocrats, drug dealers, junkies and thieves. All of the chaos contributed to one of Keith Richards' and Mick Jagger's finest creative achievements, a wholly new and unique interpretation of America.

If you're looking for a comedy with sapphic energy that doesn't really require any brain power and isn't incomprehensibly 3 hours long, The Hustle should be at the top of your list. This may be a Should've Been Gay, but lesbihonest, there is not one straight woman in the entire movie. For women who spend a lot of their time seducing men, they really could not be less interested in them. Hell, Josephine doesn't even sleep with any of them! Only Anne Hathaway could convince three obscenely rich men to propose to her without even putting out. She is maybe too powerful– we didn't even flinch at that toilet french fry scene. When Jo isn't radiating sex (without actually having any) in order to swindle some rich guy out of millions, she's parading Penny around on a leash to assert her dominance. Hot. While the vibes for Penny are more chaos-bisexual, Josephine is giving full high femme, lesbian dominatrix energy and we are SEATED. Together, they make a hilarious and surprisingly effective conwoman team. And what could be better than sapphics swindling immoral rich men out of their millions? By the end of the film they are in a full on power-throuple with a man that gives even Penny a run for her money on bi-vibes (and who is a direct descendant of someone whose crime code-name is Medusa- yep, the man-hating snake-haired woman who turns men to stone with one look).  As we watched the newly formed polycule sail off into the beautiful Capri sunset with their stolen riches, we just had one thought– The Hustle Should've Been Gay.

In 2017, Saudi Arabia's ambitious, young leader, Mohammed bin Salman, unveiled Neom: a futuristic new city Saudi Arabia would build in the desert. Neom would be a hotspot for tourism like the French Riviera, a center of innovation like Silicon Valley, and a global melting pot like Dubai. It would help transform the Saudi economy. But over the years, that already bold plan grew even more ambitious.   In the first of two episodes about Neom, WSJ's Rory Jones and Eliot Brown explain how an effort to pivot the Saudi economy away from oil grew to encompass plans for a desert ski resort and skyscrapers the length of Connecticut. Plus we hear from two people who uprooted their lives and moved to Neom to help make MBS's dream a reality.
