Podcasts about Italian Americans

In Episode 291 of The Chazz Palminteri Show, I sit down with legendary actor Dominic Chianese, best known for his unforgettable role as Uncle Junior on The Sopranos. Dominic shares stories from his career, including working with James Gandolfini, Francis Ford Coppola, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Anthony Quinn, and other legendary performers. We discuss The Sopranos, The Godfather Part II, acting technique, and the importance of being authentic on camera. Dominic also reflects on growing up in the Bronx, his Italian-American roots, his lifelong passion for singing, his grandfather's musical influence, and his experiences working alongside some of Hollywood's greatest actors. It's a warm, funny, and fascinating conversation between two Bronx actors about acting, music, family, friendship, and a lifetime in show business.

Why This Episode MattersWhy wine may not be losing younger drinkers so much as failing to introduce itself to them wellHow small, independent producers can offer something industrial wine cannot: place, history and storyWhy wine education works better through tasting, comparison and discovery than scores and intimidationHow restaurants, retailers and wine lovers can make wine more approachable to people just beginning to explore itBanterFrancis returns from the Russian River Valley with a deeper appreciation for Pinot Noir and plenty to say about what he learned. The Guys talk about how tasting wines side by side reveals the differences between vineyards, soils and winemaking choices, why visiting wine country can teach you what books can not and the considerable injustice of Francis losing a toga contest to a baby.The ConversationTony Margiotta, founder of Gladiator Wine Distribution, joins Mark and Francis to talk about wine as culture, place and connection not just what's in the glass.Tony traces his path from Italian-American family dinners and summers in Molise to discovering small Italian producers whose wines rarely made it to the U.S. That curiosity eventually became Gladiator Wines and a mission to tell the stories behind independent producers.The conversation then turns to Tony's book Wine in Your 20s and the challenge of bringing a new generation into wine. Tony argues that wine hasn't necessarily lost younger drinkers: it hasn't introduced itself to them well. He and The Guys explore how approachable wines, tastings, good storytelling and less intimidation can help new drinkers discover wine on their own terms.Guest BioTony Margiotta is the founder of Gladiator Wine Distribution, specializing in independent Italian wine producers with a strong connection to place, culture and tradition. He is also the creator of Gladiator Wine TV and the author of Hidden Gems of Italy and Wine in Your 20s.Timestamps00:00 — Russian River Pinot Noir, side-by-side tasting and learning wine through experience05:00 — Francis buys a real toga—and loses the contest to a baby09:00 — Tony Margiotta and the philosophy behind Gladiator Wines11:30 — Growing up with wine, Italian-American family dinners and Molise17:00 — Why wine seems to taste better in Italy20:30 — Discovering Italy's small producers and creating Gladiator Wines22:00 — “Real wine tastes like a place”: story, context and terroir28:00 — Learning to love wine in your 20s32:00 — Why younger generations aren't connecting with wine40:30 — How to introduce new drinkers: approachable wines, tastings and low-risk discovery44:00 — Backyard vineyards, homemade wine and keeping traditions aliveInfoTony Margiotta / Gladiator Wine DistributionGladiator Wine TV https://www.youtube.com/@GladiatorWineTVWine in Your 20sHidden Gems of ItalyStage Left Wine Shopstageleftwineshop.comSubscribe: Restaurant Guys' Regularhttps://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/Magyar Bankhttps://www.magbank.com/Stage Left Wine Shophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Our PlacesStage Left Steakhttps://www.stageleft.com/Catherine Lombardi Restauranthttps://www.catherinelombardi.com/Stage Left Wineshophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Reach Out to The Guys!TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com

With the Feast of the Assumption kicking off in Little Italy, Ken and Anthony rib John, who's Italian American but has never attended, giving him tips on which pricier food stands to skip and pointing him toward the raffles and Benny Romance, a local entertainer he's told he must meet. They compare notes on John's limited exposure to Italian culture while calling games in Minnesota, Iowa, and Massachusetts, and reminisce about Anthony's own history at the feast, including his "back to back" Italian American Man of the Year titles (with a COVID year asterisk Ken jokes rivals LeBron's). The conversation turns to plans for a live show from Cleveland's Columbus Day parade and Little Italy festivities in October, with John invited to play bocce ball and get his mom and grandmother's shore-town team to sponsor a squad in Cleveland.

Italian Wines in Sonoma County with Mark Orsi | Festa Italia di Healdsburg Wine When and Where Podcast Guest: Mark Orsi, Orsi Family Vineyards What Italian grape varieties grow in Sonoma County? Why are grapes like Sangiovese, Barbera, Aglianico, Negroamaro and Sagrantino finding a home in Northern California? And where can wine lovers taste Italian varietal wines from dozens of California producers in one place?

Hard pass. Favorite pasta pairing? Cacio e pepe with...anything. Most underrated Italian grape? Aglianico. What Italian wine could convert a Cabernet drinker? Sagrantino. Most overrated wine trend? Orange wines — the hype, not necessarily the wine itself. Dream celebrity spokesperson for Italian wine? George Clooney. Consider this his official invitation.   Mark Orsi's Cacio e Pepe Recipe Looking for a simple pasta to pair with Italian wine? Mark shares his recipe for cacio e pepe, the classic Roman pasta made with Parmigiano-Reggiano and black pepper. Ingredients 2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns 4 1/2 cups finely grated Pecorino Romano, plus more for serving 1 1/2 cups finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano 1 pound dried tonnarelli   Directions1) Bring a large pot of water to a boil. (Do not add salt)  2) Meanwhile, in a very large nonstick skillet or pot set over high heat, toast the peppercorns just until fragrant. Let cool, then grind or crush very coarsely. Reserve 1 teaspoon for serving. 3) In the same skillet or pot, combine the cheeses and remaining pepper. Add 1 ½ cups warm water and stir to make a thick pecorino cream. 4) Add the pasta to the boiling water and stir. Keep the heat very high until the water returns to a boil, then stir again and adjust the heat as needed to keep the water bubbling. Set a timer for 8 minutes. 5) Set the pecorino cream over very low heat. 6) When the timer goes off, scoop out about ½ cup of the pasta cooking water and set aside. Taste the pasta and continue cooking until the pasta is done to your liking. 7) Drain pasta very well (this is important, as adding too much hot water can cause the cheese to clump) and add to the pecorino cream. Use tongs or two forks to stir, turn and toss the pasta in the sauce over low heat until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes sticky. Don't add any water yet, just keep tossing. To test, squeeze a drop of sauce between your thumb and finger. When the sauce is thick and forms strings like glue, it is ready. 8) If it starts to dry out, add cooking water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and toss thoroughly before adding more. Twist the pasta into a nest, if desired. 9) Dust with additional pecorino and the reserved pepper. 10) Serve immediately with a glass of Italian wine, preferably Orsi   Hugo Spritz Recipe For another taste of Italy at home, make a refreshing Hugo Spritz with Prosecco, elderflower liqueur and fresh mint. Ingredients 4–5 fresh mint leaves ½–1 ounce elderflower liqueur, such as St-Germain 4 ounces chilled Prosecco 1 ounce club soda or sparkling water Ice Lime wheel or lemon slice for garnish Instructions Place the mint leaves in a large wine glass. Gently press the mint with a muddler or spoon to release its aroma. Fill the glass with ice. Add elderflower liqueur, followed by Prosecco and club soda. Stir gently. Garnish with lime or lemon and serve. About Orsi Family Vineyards Orsi Family Vineyards is a Healdsburg winery specializing in Italian grape varieties grown in Sonoma County.

No bigger way to kick off another thousand years than to revisit the man behind all the calendar hijinks himself - Jesus, airing on CBS in May of 2000! From its wild casting choices to its place in the grand run of biblical TV films of the era, Sarah & Joe dive into a freewheeling dissection of the Italian-American co-production. Were we cheated out of a much bigger career for titular portrayer Jeremy Sisto? How in the world did they get Gary Oldman to appear in this thing? Is Jacqueline Bisset too historically hot to play Mary, the mother of God? Is Debra Messing's makeup the true MVP of the film? There is a lot to get into, and a lot to avoid, in any religious conversation between the hosts, and they don't always succeed. You should expect no less from an It Happened One Year discussion!

Rizzuto is back from France, which means it's finally time to answer the question nobody asked: Can one man visit one of the most beautiful cities in the world and still come home with enough complaints to fill a morning show? Oui.An Amber Alert that woke up half the city before taking a bizarre turn, plus Scott's live music adventure at Copper Fire, where the performance went great once the minor technical issue of the speakers actually producing sound was finally addressed. We also learn that Rizzuto is approaching the end of age 47, supposedly the happiest year of his life. Great news to discover right before it expires.Then comes important local Italian-American business: the world's oldest ravioli maker is opening its first U.S. manufacturing facility in St. Charles. Naturally, Rizzuto immediately begins wondering why his invitation to the ribbon cutting hasn't arrived. If there's a giant ravioli involved and this man isn't allowed to emerge from it holding an oversized pizza cutter, then frankly, what are we even doing here?There are positives. The Paris Catacombs were incredible, featuring the bones of millions of people and the mildly unsettling realization that apparently enough tourists try to steal human remains that bags need to be checked on the way out. A nighttime river cruise delivered gorgeous views of the Eiffel Tower. There were baguettes. There was an absolutely elite steak sandwich. And yes, Paris itself occasionally managed to impress our extremely difficult international correspondent.One cab driver takes the scenic interpretation of “wrong direction,” keeps the meter running, and eventually gets into a heated French argument with Rizz.Travel chaos continues with a kid refusing to buckle a seatbelt and helping get an entire flight canceled overnight. From there, we examine airport security and the long-running liquid restrictions that have forced generations of travelers to choose between personal hygiene and bringing enough shampoo to survive Tuesday.A golfer allegedly fakes a hole-in-one for thousands of dollars using a sick-grandma phone call as cover, and somehow that's only the beginning of today's nonsense.Hill's Brazilian jiu-jitsu confidence gets the Rizz Show treatment as the guys debate martial arts, celebrity bravado, Michael Cera's hypothetical fighting abilities and why the people who could actually fold you into a carry-on bag are usually the least interested in telling everybody about it.We also celebrate Missouri's birthday with a rundown of inventions, foods and famous names tied to the Show-Me State. Toasted ravioli? Obviously. Gooey butter cake? Put some respect on it. The microchip? Apparently Missouri has been doing a little more than deep-frying carbohydrates this whole time.Crap on Celebrities arrives with another truckload of entertainment gossip and pop culture commentary. Mark Zuckerberg's massive yacht gets dragged into controversy after a stranded boat reportedly needed help in Alaska. Britney Spears warns fans about a bad Botox experience. The crew gets into movie box-office numbers, Spider-Man, Super Troopers, Bugonia, Weapons and The Dink, because apparently nobody can simply say “I liked the movie” without turning it into a federal hearing.There's also Harry Potter actress Jessie Cave discussing the surprising money she's making on OnlyFans without nudity, Blink-182 heading back into the studio, Five Nights at Freddy's becoming an actual immersive restaurant experience, and a debate over the greatest new wave singers that quickly proves nobody is completely sure where “new wave” begins or ends.A study suggesting people are speaking 30% fewer words per day than they did 20 years ago. Texting, remote work, apps, online ordering, and our collective desire to avoid asking strangers how their day is going may be slowly murdering small talk. Naturally, this turns into a debate over whether small talk is an important social skill or just an obstacle standing between you and the salad you ordered downstairs.Moon admits that talking to strangers has basically become his personal training regimen, Rafe defends the lost art of actually communicating with another human being, Scott brings the small-town friendliness, and Rizz is patiently waiting for telepathy so he can stop participating altogether.First up: is having roommates a romantic deal breaker? A dating trend suggests some singles see living alone as proof that you've got your life together financially and personally. That raises the obvious question: do men and women judge this the same way? Rafe has some thoughts, including exactly how much questionable housekeeping a man might overlook when he finds someone attractive. We regret to inform you the answer is: quite a bit.A 29-year-old comedian and influencer went viral after canceling a first date with a 38-year-old finance guy because his restaurant selection was too casual. Her argument? The restaurant a potential partner chooses says something about compatibility, lifestyle, and effort. The show's counterargument quickly becomes slightly less scientific: what exactly qualifies someone as “Chili's material”?Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Fabricated report triggered Amber Alert, 1-year-old boy was never in dangerWorld's oldest ravioli maker opening first US facility in St. CharlesWinter Weather Predictions 2026–2027: What's Shaping Winter So Far?Porter Flight Canceled After Toddler Blocked by YYJ Curfew: What Stranded Passengers Are OwedHe faked a hole in one.

A nighttime river cruise delivered gorgeous views of the Eiffel Tower. There were baguettes. There was an absolutely elite steak sandwich. And yes, Paris itself occasionally managed to impress our extremely difficult international correspondent.Unfortunately for France, this is a comedy podcast, so we also need to discuss the complaints.Why is getting cold water apparently an international negotiation? Where is the ice? Why won't restaurants bring the check? Why does everything close when Rizzuto needs something? Is air conditioning merely a rumor Europeans started to make Americans feel comfortable booking flights? Is the Mona Lisa overrated? Is the Eiffel Tower overrated? Is the food overrated? And why did an Airbnb leave the family sweating in a hallway for 45 minutes while they tried to figure out how to get inside?Then there's transportation.One cab driver allegedly takes the scenic interpretation of “wrong direction,” keeps the meter running, and eventually gets into a heated French argument with Rizzuto. Rizzuto attempts to hold firm on the fare and ultimately negotiates himself a breathtaking discount of roughly fifteen bucks.

From there, we examine airport security and the long-running liquid restrictions that have forced generations of travelers to choose between personal hygiene and bringing enough shampoo to survive Tuesday.Somehow this becomes a discussion involving Die Hard with a Vengeance, Jeremy Irons, TSA logic, confiscated hairspray and the exact amount of liquid apparently required before civilization collapses.And after all the monuments, bones, baguettes, questionable air conditioning, transportation drama and French customer service, Rizzuto finally lands back in St. Louis and realizes something important:He loves it here.Nothing makes home look better than an international vacation and a lukewarm glass of water.It's travel stories, St. Louis nonsense, weird news, daily humor and several completely unnecessary arguments packed into another comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Come for the Paris vacation recap.

Knock knock! Who's there? MARTY, THAT'S WHO! Welcome to the first installment in PODCASTFELLAS - our supersized series on the films of short king and Italian-American asthmatic Martin Scorsese. This guy made some pretty good movies, huh. This week, Griffin, David, and Ben discuss Scorsese's Little Italy upbringing and his two first features - 1967's Who's That Knocking at My Door? and 1972's Boxcar Bertha. One feels like a film school parody of Scorsese movie. The other, a not-scuzzy-enough exploitation picture. Neither really feel like his true debut.

Matthew Cutolo is a third-generation chef at Gargiulo's, the Coney Island restaurant his family has run since 1965 and that has fed Brooklyn since 1907. In 1977, The New York Times gave it three stars, unheard of at the time for a restaurant outside Manhattan.He learned to bake from Mike the Bake, the restaurant's pastry chef of over forty years, who refused to write down a single recipe, including for family. Matthew asked to learn anyway. Mike's answer was, "If you want to learn, you have to watch." For the first two months, Matthew stood at the mixing bowl and watched Mike add ingredients with no measurements at all, a scoop of this, a lap around the kitchen, a conversation with someone else, back to the bowl. Only after two months did Mike start telling him what was actually going in.Why the same holiday recipe came out different every year, because it was never really written down, it was feelWhy Matthew never uses a thermometer frying cannoli, and the one thing his uncle said that changed his mind about tradition versus evolutionHow a summer internship on The Chew turned into a decision to go all in on content, and why cooking videos never worked for him but talking to the camera didAndré Natera and Matthew Cutolo cover the difference between Italian food and Italian American food and why that argument goes back to Ellis Island, the family's daily 2:30 lunch that nobody is allowed to skip, guys' night and the right way to make a negroni, the meatball debate settled once and for all, sauce versus gravy, dried pasta versus fresh, Parmigiano versus Pecorino, what actually makes a video do well on YouTube versus Instagram, and why toxic kitchens exist in family restaurants too.It ends where every episode ends, with the Mount Rushmore, and the correct cannoli filling.Guest@matthewcutolohttps://www.matthewcutolo.com/Gargiulo's on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/gargiulosrestaurant/LinksLead Like a Chef App → https://studio.com/apps/andre/leadlikeachefGet the Books → https://chefspsa.com/booksShop Chef's PSA Merch → https://shop.chefspsa.com/Get Episodes Early on Substack → https://chefspsa.substack.com/Follow Chef's PSA on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chefspsa/

When we think about California wine, names like Napa Valley, Mondavi, and the famous 1976 Judgment of Paris often come to mind. Yet behind the success of California's wine industry are countless immigrant families whose stories are every bit as remarkable, even if they've been largely forgotten. One such story is that of Gemello Winery, an Italian American winery founded by immigrants from Piedmont who arrived in California with little more than determination, a knowledge of viticulture, and a willingness to work incredibly hard.  In my recent conversation with author Kevin Ferguson, I discovered that his forthcoming book, Rain on the Monte Bello Ridge, is about much more than a family business. It's a fascinating story of immigration, innovation, perseverance, and five generations of one Italian American family whose legacy continues to inspire today.

Break/Fix Podcast returns with an interview with Vince Finaldi, who is taking over leadership of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance after Sandra Button's 40-year tenure. Finaldi shares his Italian-American automotive family history, early exposure to imported exotics, and a lifelong buy-fix-sell approach that funded his education after four years as a Marine infantryman, alongside a 22-year career as a trial lawyer handling high-stakes civil cases for sexual abuse victims. He recounts chasing and restoring Lamborghini Miuras, including buying one in 2015 with help from Valentino Balboni and sourcing rare parts through industry contacts. Vince explains how Pebble Beach must evolve carefully by welcoming important newer cars while preserving rigorous judging standards, emphasizing the concours as a “classroom,” its charity mission, youth-access programs, and upcoming celebrations including the 75th anniversary and a major Miura gathering for its 60th anniversary. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Pebble Beach Concours New Era 01:15 Vince's Family Roots in Cars 03:37 Falling for the Miura 06:15 Flipping Cars to Fund Dreams 12:37 Deep Dive Car Obsession & Hunting the Next Classic 16:14 From Courtroom to Carmel 20:11 Taking the Pebble Torch 22:13 How Concours Evolves 23:51 Concours Origins and the Tour d'Elegance 25:57 Market Shift in Collecting 27:52 Concours as Classroom and Making Room for New Greats 32:39 Do EVs Belong Here? 33:59 Youth Access and Free Events 35:20 Car Week Business Reality 39:21 Pebble Vision and Standards 41:30 How to Apply and Get In 42:05 Building Future Featured Classes 44:32 Miura Anniversary and Dream Classes 47:01 Small Changes Ahead 48:06 75th Anniversary Wrap Up 50:10 Sponsor and Show Outro ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram

Geno McWilliams is the self-taught chef and owner of Lucia's Italian Kitchen in Effingham, Illinois, a 39-seat open kitchen Italian restaurant three hours south of Chicago that has become a destination in rural America. He spent decades as a construction contractor while teaching himself to cook, traveled with more cooking equipment than construction tools, fired pizzas in hotel rooms with an Ooni Koda, and opened Lucia's in November 2020. He is a member of the US Pizza Team and Women in Pizza certified.He attended the Rewiring Hospitality conference in Irvine, California the week before this recording. His biggest takeaway became the central argument of this entire episode: after years of obsessing over the food, the food is not the point. The food is the bonus. Hospitality is what brings guests back.Why Lucia's pre-shift meetings never discuss 86 items, cover counts, or operational details and spend every minute on one question: how are we going to make the guest experience better tonightThe difference between Italian and Italian American cuisine and why Geno built his menu around traditional Italian dishes in a town that walked in expecting fettuccine Alfredo and chicken ParmThe pasta economics that every small Italian restaurant needs to understand: 90 percent extruded, 10 percent stuffed, and why pushing that ratio in the wrong direction will destroy your labor and your consistencyAndré Natera and Geno McWilliams cover the wedding dance moment that went viral on social media, reading guests through body language and NLP, the Roman tonda meets New York style pizza hybrid that defines Lucia's pizza, the discovery that French toast originated in fourth century Rome, and the construction contractor financial discipline that gave Geno a foundation most self-taught chefs never develop. The episode closes with his Mount Rushmore of chefs by category, his yellow tape kitchen in honor of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and his tagline: cheaper than a ticket to Italy.GuestGeno McWilliams on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chefginomc/Lucia's Italian Kitchen on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/luciaseffingham/Lucia's Italian Kitchen Website → https://luciasik.com/LinksSubscribe on Substack → https://chefspsa.substack.com/Shop Chef's PSA Merch → https://shop.chefspsa.com/Visit Chef's PSA Website → https://chefspsa.com/Lead Like a Chef App → https://studio.com/apps/andre/leadlikeachef

Mike Crispi, president of The Italian American Civil Rights League, joins us to discuss the recent uproar over the Little Italy New York enclave being removed from the City's list of immigrant neighborhoods. Italians took notice and fought back. In fact, Crispi's resume reads as a man who has been fighting for justice much of his life as a political activist, frequent commentator, and talk show host. And this topic made the top of his list. Cristi points out that much of New York - from the skyscrapers to underground tunnels, was built on the backs of Italian immigrant laborers, many of them settling into the lower east side of Manhattan, commonly referred to as #LittleItaly, so he joins us today to talk about the history of the people there and how it matters today. It's a lesson in history that many might not know, and one that should not be forgotten. Please join us today on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, and #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

Please welcome infamous mandolin player #JohnnyAnello, also the founder of Italian American Radio, who joins us to talk about the history of Italians who came to this country through Ellis Island, settled primarily in #LittleItaly on the lower east side of Manhattan, and became the heart and soul of New York, building bridges, digging subway tracks and tunnels and anything else that needed to be done to help make the City of New York great. Johnny has had a decorated career as a musician, performing LIVE throughout NY and the entire tri-state area, but particularly in Little Italy, New York. In fact, he will be opening this year for the 100th anniversary of the San Gennaro Festival in NY, a terrific honor. Needless to say, Johnny knows much about current life in New York's Little Italy, in addition to its rich history. And since the recent uproar over Little Italy not being included in the map of immigrant communities in NYC, he's got a lot to say about it. Johnny also founded Italian American Radio, and we'll be talking about that, too. He's a terrific preservationist of all things Italian, and I'm honored to speak with him today. Please find my full discussion with Johnny "Mandolin" Anello on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, and #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

Award-winning author and co-founder/editor-in-chief of Appetito Magazine, #AndrewCotto, joins us to discuss the deep-rooted history of Italians and Italian Americans in New York through hard-work, grit, culture and their culinary expertise, literally taking over the food scene from the moment the Italians landed on our shores. When it was discovered that #LittleItaly was no longer included on the map of immigrant communities in NYC, Italians stood up and fought back for their ancestors to be recognized for their contributions to making NY and America prosperous. Andrew has written extensively for the New York Times, Appetito, Condé Nast Traveler, Italy magazine, and others, and has extensive knowledge of Italians in NY, and he joins us today to talk about that and the strong sense of pride Italian Americans continue to fight for, including the history Italians want to make sure is not forgotten. Please join us on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, and #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's an honor to have you with us.

On this Friday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid details Mayor Zohran Mamdani's new immigrant enclaves map — which ignores Little Italy and other Italian-American areas of the five boroughs, as well as big Irish and Jewish neighborhoods while spotlighting 30 other areas, including Little Palestine, Koreatown, Little Pakistan and Little Odessa. In other news of the day, President Trump declares the ceasefire with Iran over - leading to strikes on Iran's IRGC installations targeting the Strait of Hormuz - leaving Iran threatening retaliation and causing fear in the oil market and gas prices amid renewed fighting, and Mayor Mamdani's international affairs commissioner boneheadedly made plans to meet with Iran's ambassador to the United Nations. The scheduled July 7 meeting – first reported by City Journal – between Commissioner Ana María Archila and Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran's permanent representative to the UN, ultimately never happened.

What connects us to a place generations after our families have left? Often times, the answer is food.In this episode, I sit down with the founders of CulturaPaths to explore the powerful connection between food, identity, and Italian heritage. We discuss why recipes and food traditions can survive across generations, the growing interest in roots tourism, and why so many Italian Americans are searching for a deeper connection to the towns and traditions of their ancestors.Visit the CulturaPaths website, and follow them on Instagram and Facebook!

The conversation delves into the ongoing preliminary hearing of the Kirk murder case, focusing on the debates surrounding firearm ballistics, the validity of conspiracy theories, and the overwhelming evidence presented. The discussion highlights the importance of transparency in the legal process and the cultural implications of the case, while also critiquing the role of media and public perception in shaping narratives around the incident. In this conversation, Dana discusses the changing landscape of immigrant enclaves in Manhattan, highlighting the erasure of traditional Italian and Irish communities in favor of newly recognized areas. She critiques the cultural appropriation and historical revisionism surrounding the naming of these enclaves, particularly the controversial inclusion of 'Little Palestine.' Dana expresses strong sentiments about the implications of these changes on American identity and the historical narrative, emphasizing the contributions of Italian Americans to New York City and the broader American fabric.Thank you for supporting our sponsors that make The Dana Show possible…Fast Growing TreesGet 20% off Better Plants and a Better Looking Yard this summer with code Dana.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, we head into early Scorsese territory with Mean Streets, starring Harvey Keitel as Charlie and Robert De Niro as Johnny Boy.It is New York, 1973: Catholic guilt, bar-room bravado, small-time gangster pressure, unpaid debts, family loyalty, loaded silences, unloaded guns, and the unmistakable beginning of the Scorsese crime-movie language that would later explode into Goodfellas.What we coveredThe famous opening idea: “You don't make up for your sins in church. You do it on the streets.”How clearly the film points toward later Scorsese: Catholicism, crime, music, neighbourhood codes, restless camera moves and men trapped by loyalty.Harvey Keitel's Charlie: a young man trying to be a gangster, a good Catholic, a loyal friend, and a decent person — all at once, badly.Charlie's guilt, the candle-burning, and the sense that a few Hail Marys are nowhere near enough for what he thinks he deserves.Robert De Niro's Johnny Boy as a reckless human hand grenade: charming, funny, dangerous, and absolutely allergic to consequences.Johnny Boy's debts, the pressure from Michael, and why the lack of respect becomes almost more dangerous than the lack of money.The rooftop gun scene, including the attempt to shoot the light off the Empire State Building.The “mook” bar fight — possibly the most memorable use of the word “mook” in cinema history.The corrupt cop casually taking a bribe after the bar fight.Teresa, Charlie's relationship with her, and the family/friendship knot that keeps Charlie tied to Johnny Boy.The grimy restaurant kitchen scene and its spectacularly dubious food hygiene energy.The ending: the drive-by shooting, Scorsese's possible cameo as the gunman, the crash, the sirens, and the refusal to offer neat redemption.The low-budget invention: LA standing in for New York in places, Scorsese's family and friends appearing, and the camera-rig drunk shot attached to Keitel.The fashion: De Niro's hair, the sideburns, the silk shirts, and the sheer 1973 Italian-American wardrobe content.Key quotes / momentsSidey spots the Goodfellas DNA almost immediately.Dan calls Johnny Boy “a human hand grenade.”Reegs remembers the “mook” scene as the thing that stuck with him from the film.Cris singles out De Niro's hair and later the restaurant kitchen, which looks like one of the worst episodes of Kitchen Nightmares.The dads admire the film as the raw blueprint for Scorsese's later, more polished crime films.VerdictA strong recommend. The dads recognise that Mean Streets is looser and rougher than Scorsese's later work, but that is part of its power: it is gritty, restless, funny, violent, Catholic, and absolutely foundational.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

It's The Mooch! Yes, today Rosebud celebrates 250 years of American independence with our final U.S. guest: the irrepressible host of the Rest Is Politics U.S., Anthony Scaramucci. In this fascinating and free-wheeling conversation, Anthony talks to Gyles about his childhood in a Long Island, in a loving and hard-working Italian-American family, with parents who managed to fit 600 years of arguments into their 60 year marriage. He talks about his high school years, when he was a self-confessed "Long Island Guido" with combed back hair, gold jewellery, and a choice of shirts hanging in the back of his Camaro to impress the ladies at the school dance. He talks about landing his first job on Wall Street in a suit made of 100% polyester. He talks about Superman. He talks about Donald Trump - and this part of the conversation is not to be missed - it's fascinating, candid and hilarious. And finally, he talks about marriage and how to make it work. Oh yes, and astrology. This a truly fabulous episode of Rosebud. We're deeply grateful to Anthony Scaramucci for talking so openly, honestly and generously to us. It was a very special experience for us all! Enjoy this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The "eating the cats and dogs" blood libel worked so well that SCOTUS agreed to end humanitarian protections for Haitians. Justice Alito, who complained about the way Italian-Americans were depicted in "The Sopranos" just couldn't see any racism in Trump's repeated disparagement of Haiti or its immigrants. By the way, Megyn Kelly: You didn't do anything to build this country. And while JD thinks Nixon's Watergate crimes are now no big deal, the federal government just sentenced an American to 30 years in prison for moving anarchist zines out of his home.
