A Dominant Display, Missed Chances & Sunderland Preview Tabs returns for Episode 204 of The Grove Podcast, fresh from Naples, to break down Arsenal's 1–0 Champions League win over Napoli and look ahead to Saturday night's Premier League trip to Sunderland.We start with the full European away experience: the travel chaos, the safety briefings, the herding, the police escorts, the long bus loops around the city, and the late release back to the port. Tabs shares the highs (including an elite Neapolitan margherita) and the lows (queues, heat, delays, and being treated like cattle), giving listeners a real sense of what following Arsenal abroad can be like.Then Holly from the North Bank Pod (@northbankpod) joins to dissect the match itself, an excellent dominant Arsenal performance that somehow finished 1–0 thanks to a collection of extraordinary missed chances. We talk through the rotation, the players who came in, the left‑side drop‑off without Calafiori and Tzolis, Merino's quality, Hincapié's strong showing, and the ongoing debate around Gyökeres: his role, his limitations, and how he fits into an evolving Arsenal attack.Finally, attention turns to Sunderland away, a tricky, physical opponent with a clear identity and a dangerous left side. Tabs brings insight from Sunderland correspondent Andy, and we look at how Arteta might set up for an 8pm Saturday kick‑off that promises intensity and narrative.A European win, a pile of missed chances, and a Premier League preview.COYG.----Follow, rate, and subscribe on your favourite podcast app.Find us on socials: @thegroveafcThis is The Grove, and everyone is welcome.

Meet with Urmi,an Italian with Bengali roots who grew up in Italy, spent time in the UK, and has now been living in Montreal, Canada for the past decade.Urmi is a Third Culture Kid, and her story is one of navigating different identities. Growing up with Bengali parents in Italy, she experienced a “dual life”: one version of herself at school and another at home. She shares the challenges of feeling both Italian and not quite Italian, while also feeling different within her Bengali community.We follow her journey from Sicily to Northern Italy, then to the UK as a teenager, before she eventually made the move to Canada — this time entirely by her own choice.Montreal turned out to be a surprising fit. Urmi talks about discovering a city that is deeply multicultural and bilingual, where she now works in French despite having studied in English. She also shares the little things that help her recreate a feeling of home.We also dive into working in Canada, including some important advice for anyone hoping to build a career in Montreal. Urmi explains why networking, LinkedIn, professional references and mentorship can be particularly important in the Canadian job market — and why being able to work in both French and English can make a major difference in Quebec.And as a TCK, does she see Montreal as her final home? Not necessarily. We talk about the idea that once you've grown up moving, you may always keep the door open to another country, another opportunity and another adventure.In this episode, we talk about:Growing up Italian with Bengali parentsThe challenges of having a dual cultural identityLife as a Third Culture KidMoving from Italy to the UK as a teenagerDiscovering multicultural MontrealFinding a job in Canada as an expatFinding pieces of Italy in MontrealWhy TCKs may always feel ready for another move

Breaking Bread with Stafford Shurden | Episode 31Rory & Marisol Doyle: From Maine and Mexico to the Mississippi DeltaWhat happens when a photographer from Maine and a restaurateur from Sonora, Mexico, somehow find themselves building a life together in Cleveland, Mississippi?In Episode 31 of Breaking Bread with Stafford Shurden, Stafford sits down with Rory and Marisol Doyle, the husband-and-wife team behind Leña Pizza + Bagels in downtown Cleveland.Their story stretches far beyond the walls of their restaurant.Rory is an internationally recognized photographer whose work documenting life in the Mississippi Delta and across the South has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Smithsonian Magazine, Reuters, The Guardian, ESPN and many others. His acclaimed Delta Hill Riders project documenting Black cowboy culture in the Mississippi Delta has been exhibited around the world and earned some of photography's top honors.In 2025, Rory won a James Beard Media Award for Narrative Photography for his ongoing work documenting Chuck's Dairy Bar in Rolling Fork, Mississippi.Marisol's path is just as remarkable.Originally from Sonora, Mexico, she spent years working in the restaurant industry before experimenting with homemade bagels at the Cleveland Farmers Market in 2016. That experiment eventually led her and Rory all the way to Naples, Italy, where she studied the craft of Neapolitan pizza making.Today, Marisol is the pizzaiola behind Leña, which has earned national attention and recognition as one of America's standout pizzerias.But this conversation is about more than photography and pizza.It's about two people from very different parts of the world who came to the Mississippi Delta, chose to stay, and built something special there.Stafford talks with Rory and Marisol about their journeys to Mississippi, falling in love with the Delta, building Leña, the creative process, Rory's photography, Marisol's approach to food, and what happens when outsiders begin to see a place differently than the people who have lived there their entire lives.It's a conversation about food, art, place, culture, entrepreneurship and the unexpected roads that sometimes lead us home.
Mario LaPosta had a dream (literally).Following a nightmare about a kitchen incident, paired with his deep Italian roots and love of family meals at a long dinner table, LaPosta knew a future in the kitchen awaited him. Eventually, the Connecticut native moved to Italy so he could learn the ins and outs of the Neapolitan pizza-making process. Then, after returning to the States, he started running the pizza programs at a chain of restaurants outside of New York City, and then later, in Boston.On today's episode, Mario LaPosta of Mamma Luca joins host Troy Farkas to discuss his long, winding road to Mamma Luca - from the real deal kitchens of Rome to the cobblestone streets of Portsmouth. Additionally, the guys talk about what NOT to do when opening a restaurant, why the restaurant business is notoriously difficult to survive in, the compromise you have to make when opening an authentic Italian restaurant in America, and more.To check out Mamma Luca, pay them a visit at 111 State St. in downtown Portsmouth.SUPPORT SEACOAST STORIES:Follow Seacoast Stories on Apple Podcasts or on Spotify to get our new episodes every week.Join our FREE online community, The Local Thread, here.UPCOMING EVENTS:Seacoast Stories Dinner Club: We're in Newburyport, Mass., on Wednesday, September 2.

In this episode of A Table in the Corner, I chat to Giovanni Calvani of Datterino, a Roman-style cafeteria and pizzeria in Cape Town's New Riverlands Mall.Giovanni grew up in Italy and has brought a very different style of pizza to Cape Town: pinza romana, an oval-shaped pizza made with a highly hydrated dough, long fermentation and a blend of flours. We talk about why his original pizza al taglio concept didn't immediately find an audience, how he adapted the idea for the local market, and the thinking behind Datterino's all-day café approach.We also get into the regional differences in Italian food, the role of ancient grains and long fermentation in his dough, and why he thinks Cape Town is ready for more than just Neapolitan pizza.This episode is part of Pizza Sessions, our video series exploring the people, places and different styles shaping Cape Town's pizza culture, brought to you by Banhoek Chilli Oil. www.rwm2012.comOn Instagram @a_table_inthecornerCover image sketched by Courtney Cara LawsonAll profile portraits by Russel Wasserfall unless otherwise creditedTitle music: 'In Time' by Olexy via Pixabay

The Mad appleBetween August and early September, nature offers the eggplant, a vegetable with intense color and spongy flesh found in kitchens around the world. The eggplant (*Solanum melongena*) has a history as old as plant domestication, fascinating botanical characteristics, and culinary versatility that make it almost indispensable. Botanically speaking, the eggplant belongs to the Solanaceae family, alongside tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers. Although commonly considered a vegetable, its fruit is technically a berry. It originated in Asia—likely between India and Southeast Asia—and descends from wild, thorny, and bitter ancestors such as *Solanum insanum*. Genetic studies indicate that the eggplant was domesticated long ago; over time, selective breeding has reduced thorns, sweetened the flavor, and fostered the emergence of numerous shapes and colors. Varieties come in long and dark, round and purple, white, striped, and green forms. Each type possesses specific organoleptic qualities: long, dark purple varieties—such as the classic Neapolitan—have firm flesh and a delicate flavor, rendering them suitable for grilling or for making *parmigiana*. Round, violet varieties tend to become creamier after cooking and are ideal for sauces or fillings. White eggplants are generally less bitter and very tender.In contrast, green or striped varieties are distinguished by an especially sweet taste and thin skin, making them suitable for quick cooking or grilling. Choosing the right variety can enhance any recipe. In addition, the plant flourishes in warm, sunny conditions; in temperate zones, it is grown as an annual, whereas in milder climates, it can live longer. From there, the history of the eggplant becomes a tale of cultural spread and transformation. It has been cultivated in Asia for centuries and appears in ancient Chinese and Indian texts. It was later introduced to the Mediterranean region by the Arabs, who spread its cultivation starting in the Middle Ages. The Italian word *melanzana* derives from the Arabic bāinjān, having passed through Persian and other languages. Initially, the eggplant was not well-received in Europe; as a member of the nightshade family—which includes many toxic plants—it aroused suspicion.Some even called it the mad apple, fearing it would hurt the mind. Only over time, thanks to the spread of Mediterranean and Southern cuisines, did the eggplant become an integral part of culinary tradition. In Italy, in particular, it is the star of iconic dishes such as the ever-favorite parmigiana, the relish caponata, the Sicilian pasta alla Norma, sautéed eggplant, and stuffed eggplant. In the kitchen, selecting the right eggplant is important. It is best to choose firm specimens with smooth, glossy skin, free of bruises, and with a fresh green stem. If an eggplant is overripe, it will contain more seeds and have a more bitter taste. Traditionally, a salting process was used to draw out moisture: the eggplants were sliced, sprinkled with coarse salt, and left to drain for at least half an hour to remove some of the water and bitterness.Today, available varieties are less bitter, making this step not always necessary; however, it can be useful for reducing oil absorption or achieving a firmer texture. From selection to cooking, eggplant lends itself to numerous techniques. When grilled or griddled, slices acquire a smoky aroma and a tender texture; just a few minutes per side on a hot surface suffice, followed by seasoning with oil, garlic, mint, or parsley and a brief resting period. In the oven, they can be roasted whole—after being pricked—until the skin shrivels and the flesh becomes creamy, rendering them ideal for sauces, purees, or fillings. Alternatively, when sliced or cubed and oven-baked, they require less oil than frying while still retaining an intense flavor. Full Content More Podcasts

Send us Fan MailTwelve years ago, two guys in a baby blue 1967 Chevy truck were blasting 90s hip-hop at a D.C. farmers market and slinging wood-fired pizza to anyone who'd listen. Today, that operation is closing in on 10 locations and building a national franchise.In this episode, we sit down with Chris Brady, co-founder and president of Timber Pizza Co. Chris and his partner Andrew Dana traded tech sales careers for a pizza oven in 2014, opened their first brick-and-mortar in D.C.'s Petworth neighborhood in 2016 and have since expanded across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Now he's focused on franchising the right way: slow, intentional and rooted in the same community-first values that started it all.Here's what Chris gets into:· The origin story: Why he and Andrew walked away from tech sales, and how a Charlottesville pizza truck sparked the whole thing· Timber's pizza style: Marrying New York-style crunch and hold with Neapolitan wood-fired chew, plus why provolone earns a spot in the cheese blend· The 85/15 model: Keeping 85% of every Timber consistent while leaving 15% for local flair like regional craft beer and neighborhood decor· The dough non-negotiable: Scratch-made recipe with a strict 48-hour proof at every single location, no exceptions· Vetting franchise partners: Why integrity, a real operational plan and the right market matter more than the check that clears· Building employee culture: Tip pooling across the house, wages above the tipped minimum and a "we've got your back" approach that's driven five to six year average tenure· Advice for growing operators: Pay the pros, delegate your weaknesses early and be honest about where you're not the A player· The road ahead: Staying committed to the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, with a goal of five to six new stores in 2026 to reach the 15 to 16 unit rangeShow Notes:Timber Pizza Co.Pizza Expo Columbus July 2026 issue of Pizza Today magazine
Napoli has a true hometown story brewing in the engine room. In this episode, we chart the remarkable journey of 23-year-old Neapolitan midfielder Antonio Vergara. Far from an overnight success, Vergara's path to the first team was forged through gritty lower-league loans and a devastating ACL injury. We analyze his classical number ten style, his tactical value as a silky left-footed creator, and the marquee moments that proved he belongs on the grandest stage.Here is what we are breaking down this week:Breaking down his 182 cm frame, technical half-space orchestration, and surprisingly intense modern press. Reliving that breathtaking Champions League solo goal against Chelsea that made all of Europe stand up and take notice.Looking at how he carved out crucial minutes—including a masterclass 8.7-rated performance against Fiorentina—in a midfield stacked with Kevin De Bruyne and Scott McTominay. What his Supercoppa winner's medal and long-term contract extension tell us about Napoli's ultimate plans for their local boy. `Antonio Vergara`, `SSC Napoli`, `Serie A 2026`, `Champions League`, `Italian Football Podcast`, `Kevin De Bruyne`, `Scott McTominay`, `Napoli vs Chelsea`
Prepare to get gaslit. In this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny, Trevin and Amanda dive into two stories connected by manipulation, deception, and people who believe everyone else is the problem. Before the crimes, Trevin begins physical therapy for an injured shoulder and arthritic hip, sparking a fresh round of body-image frustration. Amanda accidentally unleashes her full mom voice on an unsuspecting friend after mistaking her for one of her children. For Trivia, Trevin explores the surprising history of Neapolitan ice cream and its original flavor lineup, while Amanda brings one of New York City's strangest pieces of history: the infamous stunt where pranksters temporarily "stole" the deed to the Empire State Building. Then it's time for stories. Trevin takes us to Pennsylvania, where 48-year-old Eric Pierwsza turns a drunken meltdown into a full-scale mantrum. What starts as a bad night escalates into property destruction, an excavator, and consequences that are impossible to ignore. Amanda dives into the decades-long case of Beth Lisa Jaslove and the Center for Growth and Enlightenment, where a trusted therapist allegedly manipulated clients through the so-called Community Money Program. What began in 1999 ultimately became a story of deception, trust, and financial exploitation. From explosive tantrums to calculated manipulation, this episode explores what happens when people abuse power—whether through brute force or psychological control.

Buddy Blues joins The Tone Mob for a long-overdue conversation about guitar, YouTube, blues, pedals, and the strange little internet ecosystem where all of those things collide. Buddy shares his story, from growing up in Beirut playing classical piano, discovering electric guitar through blues and Pink Floyd, moving to Florida as a teenager, gigging heavily, touring with John Mayall, and eventually finding his way into the world of guitar YouTube after the live music world hit a wall in 2020. Blake and Buddy dig into the grind of making gear content, the difference between demos and entertainment, learning to stop trying to win everybody over, the weirdness of algorithm life, favorite amps, recording setups, Victory amps, Fender Supersonics, the value of bedroom-player opinions, and why guitar culture sometimes takes itself way too seriously. They also talk about Buddy's new LSL Instruments signature Satikoy, Stringjoy strings landing in Guitar Center, the Boss DM-101, proper Neapolitan pizza, and why the blues and death metal apparently share custody of Lebanon's guitar scene.

Matthew Cutolo of Gargiulo's in Brooklyn, New York, joins PEEL: A PMQ Pizza Podcast to discuss preserving one of New York's oldest Italian-American restaurant legacies while introducing new generations to authentic Neapolitan pizza. A third-generation member of the family that has owned Gargiulo's since 1965, Cutolo shares how he became the sole keeper of the restaurant's century-old cannoli recipe and why passing down traditions requires far more than simply handing someone a recipe card. In this episode, Cutolo reflects on learning to make pizza as a toddler alongside his grandfather, explains how the restaurant's seasonal Sorrento Pizza Garden brings a taste of Southern Italy to Coney Island with a wood-fired oven imported from Naples, and discusses why simplicity makes Neapolitan pizza one of the most demanding styles to master. He also shares practical advice for operators looking to build their brands through social media, explains why storytelling has become as important as the food itself, and reveals how preserving family traditions continues to shape both Gargiulo's future and his own.
Born in San Pellegrino Terme and arriving in Cape Town with his South African partner in 2011, Diego Milesi talks about building Ferdinando's from a tiny pop-up operation in the Cape Quarter into a loud, chaotic, deeply loved community institution in Observatory.This conversation goes far beyond toppings and dough. We get into the roots of Neapolitan pizza, the obsession with fermentation and hydration, the difference between traditional and contemporary Napoli styles, and why Diego still believes pizza is fundamentally poor people's food: something made to bring people together rather than impress them.We also talk about the culture around Ferdinando's itself. The music, the cocktails, the packed tables, the sense of belonging and the restaurant's long-running association with Pasta Kitchen, a community project legacy of Diego's late partner Kimon, which feeds and connects with vulnerable people living on the streets around Observatory.Along the way there are debates about banana on pizza, artisanal mozzarella, South African ingredients, Italian food purism and why Diego believes the atmosphere around a pizza can matter as much as the pizza itself.Pizza Sessions is sponsored by Banhoek Chilli Oil and will also be launching as a video series on the A Table in the Corner YouTube channel.www.rwm2012.comOn Instagram @a_table_inthecornerCover image sketched by Courtney Cara LawsonAll profile portraits by Russel Wasserfall unless otherwise creditedTitle music: 'In Time' by Olexy via Pixabay

In Uptown New Orleans, Freret Street is one of the city's most vibrant corridors – a favorite neighborhood artery for food and nightlife. But this wasn't always the case. Following decades of decline, Freret Street underwent a remarkable revitalization after Hurricane Katrina, becoming a symbol of the city's post-storm rebirth. A leading pioneer this culinary comeback is Chef Adolfo Garcia, whose Freret Street restaurants, High Hat Café and Ancora, became dining destinations in the early 2010s. On this week's show, we look at the career of the legendary chef and explore Freret Street – then and now. We begin with Chef Adolfo, who was born and raised in suburban New Orleans, the son of Panamanian parents. Adolfo has spent the last 40 years creating interesting and innovative restaurants that have introduced New Orleanians to flavors from around the world. He's served cuisines such as Nuevo Latin, Italian, Southern comfort, Neapolitan, and Argentine – always insisting on authenticity and excellence. Adolfo's eateries have included RioMar, Primitivo, and La Boca Steakhouse. Then, we hear from the next generation. Chef Adolfo Garcia Jr. and his wife and business partner Sophia Petrou Garcia are building their own empire on Freret Street with Chi Chi's Chicken & Beer and their wood-fired Spanish restaurant, Dolfy's. Both were raised in the business. While Adolfo Jr. was polishing silverware at RioMar, Sophia was helping serve breakfast and lunch at her family's Lakefront restaurant, Russell's Marina Grill. The couple talk about their journey back home after a decade working in the New York culinary scene and beyond. Finally, Fredo Nogueira and Ryan Iriarte discuss carrying on the legacy of the High Hat Café. The newest co-owners of the Freret Street mainstay talk about Chef Adolfo's mentorship and fill us in on their latest endeavor on Freret, Cuban restaurant Café Conmigo.

In this episode of The Hot Slice podcast, Powers shares his remarkable journey into the world of award-winning Neapolitan and Detroit-style pizza. Powers currently operates one of the most celebrated pizzerias in the country: 50 Top Pizza recently named Jay's the No. 7 pizzeria in the United States! Listeners will discover how Powers' thirst for knowledge led to innovative pizzas such as a French Onion soup pie topped with torched gruyere and served with a side of broth – or an Italian melon puree paired with radicchio and fresh mint. From learning the ropes under the original owner's guidance to booking a spontaneous two-week trip to a pizza school in Naples, Italy, Powers details the transition from employee to Gen-Z business owner, discussing the realities of managing a staff that is mostly older than him. He emphasizes the importance of leading by example, trusting his instincts and leaning on experienced mentors.

Send us Fan MailOn the latest episode of The Hot Slice podcast, we chat with Armando DiMeo, owner of Houston-based Coastline Pizzeria. In addition to 12-inch Neapolitan pies, Coastline specializes in grilled pizza. DiMeo explains that he “wanted to create another style of pizza that would … be the opposite of a Neapolitan pizza.” He threw some dough on the grill, and the rest is history … almost. DiMeo tells The Hot Slice that it took him five years to perfect the pizza style, which uses high-gluten flour and a 24-hour ferment in oiled and seasoned sheet trays.Coastline also is innovating when it comes to its rotating seasonal menu. DiMeo shares that anyone at the pizzeria is encouraged to suggest new additions to the craft cocktail, pizza or small plate menu. Not only do staff members get credit on the menu for dreaming up the seasonal dishes, they also earn $1 for each time their item is sold.“It's just about making the team happy – and the customers really see that,” DiMeo tells The Hot Slice, adding that a Cacio e Pepe-inspired Neapolitan pizza was one of the staff suggestions that proved popular with guests. The profit-sharing program has another incentive: building friendly competition among employees.Listen in to this episode to learn more about grilled pizzas, employee-sourced seasonal menu items and more!

Pizza has evolved from a simple flatbread into one of the most widely enjoyed foods on the planet. This episode explores the history of pizza, its origins in Italy, the development of regional styles, and how a humble combination of dough, sauce, and toppings became a global phenomenon. Along the way, you'll hear about wood-fired ovens, Neapolitan traditions, cheese production, famous pizza variations, and the surprisingly passionate debates surrounding what does and does not belong on a pizza. It's steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!

This week, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz kick off the summer months with a new installment of the Critics at Large advice series. Listeners' questions run the gamut: a high-school economics teacher seeks films for his students which aren't set in the world of finance; a caller from Iran looks for cultural works to help endure periods of extreme uncertainty; and two friends on the cusp of college graduation ask for recommendations to guide them in their next chapter. “Art is not a thing separate from our troubles or from our awareness of the insane contingencies of life,” Cunningham says. “It's meant as a companion and a response to those. I think that's shining through in some of these questions.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Sorry to Bother You” (2018)“My Architect: A Son's Journey” (2003)“Les dites cariatides” (1984)“Twenty Minutes in Manhattan,” by Michael SorkinThe photography of Eugène AtgetThe music of the Notorious B.I.G., Heavy D, Fat Joe, and Big Pun“Sentimental Education,” by Gustave FlaubertVáclav Havel's “Audience”“The Best of Everything,” by Rona Jaffe“How to Murder Your Life,” by Cat Marnell“Becoming a Centenarian,” by Calvin Tomkins (The New Yorker)“This Old Man,” by Roger Angell (The New Yorker)“Tabula Rasa,” by John McPhee (The New Yorker)“Kramer vs. Kramer” (1979)“Divorcing,” by Susan TaubesElena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels“Ghost World,” by Daniel Clowes“Frances Ha” (2012)“Asparagus” (1979)Roger Payne's “Songs of the Humpback Whale”“Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction,” by J.

We are still out of town, but we'll be back next week! Until then, please enjoy one our episodes from the end of last year. "How could we talk about Naples and not about the pastries? After all, this is why you listen to Only A Bag! After a few thousand years of outside rule, one of the few good things (which is a weird way of saying, "Thanks for leaving behind some of your food when you ruled over us with an iron fist.") that came from it is the introduction of pastries. Graffa from the Austrian krapfen, baba from the French (and earlier Polish) baba, and sfogliatella from the nuns of Conci die Marini and then through a pastry chef who purchased the recipe and the rights to sell it (which is far more wholesome!). And, of course, like any other sweet thing over the course of history, someone looked at it and asked the age-old question, "Yes, but can it also be fried?". With that, we introduce you to the wonderful world of Neapolitan pastries!"You can join our Patreon for free! Want a shout out on the podcast?

Send us Fan MailOn this week's episode of The Hot Slice podcast, we speak with Mario LaPosta and Dario Paone about what it's like to introduce your pizzeria's customers to pizza styles they might not have tasted before. Mario LaPosta learned the craft of wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas in Italy before bringing the style to Da LaPosta in Newton, Massachusetts. He shares his journey developing a custom flour blend, which includes a nine-year-old sourdough starter. LaPosta tells The Hot Slice about his experience opening a second restaurant – Mamma Luca in Portsmouth, New Hampshire – about 90 minutes from his original location. This time, he embarked on a journey with Roman-style pan pizza, which he also offers by the slice. He shares the difference in making dough for the two styles as well as what to know before opening a second location. Next up: We chat with Dario Paone of Volo Craft Pizza in Swampscott, Massachusetts. Paone was raised in a pizzeria family, but when starting this concept, he opted to introduce something new at the time (2017) – Detroit-style pizza. He recalls people asking for the Chicago slice and spreading the word about Volo Craft's Motor City-inspired pies. He shares with listeners of The Hot Slice his experiences using online reviews to boost business and how he's starting to work with third-party delivery apps to generate lunch business. It's a one-of-a-kind episode with East Coast operators who specialize in pizzas from across the globe. You won't want to miss it! Show Notes: Register today for Pizza Expo Columbus!

Jacob and Jessica are back to guess the murderer before the credits roll — this time on the new BritBox cozy crime drama “A Taste for Murder,” set on the stunning island of Capri. Between mispronounced Italian, a suspicious water pump, and debates about apps worth $20 million, will they somehow find the killer? In This Episode: Show Intro: A Taste for Murder – A British detective retreats to Capri after his wife's death and ends up, naturally, investigating murders with his teenager in tow. Jacob cannot stress enough how hard it is to feel sorry for someone whose tragedy-coping mechanism is Capri. The Cast Breakdown – Jessica runs through the credits, including a former two-time world Thai boxing champion turned actor, a young actress who played mini Harry Styles in a music video, and the beloved Mrs. Hughes from Downton Abbey (sorry, IMDB — everyone knows that's her biggest role) "Suck it, AI — get your head in the game." — Jessica, on IMDB's algorithm The Episode Recap: "Torta Della Nonna" – A British tourist in a fuchsia dress turns up dead on the rocks below Tiberius Leap. The clues: no shoes, a shredded prenup, a duplicitous boyfriend, a beauty therapist, and a cousin nobody knew existed. The Guesses – Jessica thinks: grifter, jealous boyfriend, push. Jacob thinks: influencer, depressed girlfriend, made to look like a mental health episode. Jacob wins. Jessica graciously concedes. "She said she'd give it to me. That means I win." — Jacob Funny Moments: Jacob's take on the dad dragging his teenage daughter off a date to go chase a murderer together: "What teenage daughter doesn't want to participate in police work?" The duo debating whether the Brit detective has earned the right to "retreat to Capri" after a tragedy, leading to: "My definition of tragedy changes drastically when Capri is an option." Jessica storming into the kitchen at 4 AM thinking Jacob was a burglar — he was feeding the cat. A plate broke. Chaos ensued. The coroner who doesn't want to share information with the police — a first in TV history according to Jacob and Jessica. The mysterious restaurant water pump that Joe keeps splashing his face with, now appearing in multiple episodes. Theories welcome. The Naples police station overrun with plants, many of which were not thriving. Jacob learning what "EVOO" means approximately 20 years after everyone else. The pronunciation gauntlet: Italian cast names, episode titles in Italian, and the word "Neapolitan." Fun History Fact – Tiberius Leap: Emperor Tiberius used that exact cliff to execute servants he didn't like. The Virgin Mary now watches over it. It's fine. Christie's Rating – Jessica gives it 3; Jacob argues for at least 5 (cahoot situation, multiple alibis, prenup shredded the wrong way). They meet somewhere in the middle.

Tokyo vs. Paris: Two Completely Different Kinds of Magic Would you rather wander the electric streets of Tokyo or get cozy inside a vintage bookstore in Paris? Tokyo is a sensory overload in the best way possible. It's the kind of place where you don't need a plan—just walking around becomes the experience. You'll find vending machines selling everything from hot meals to mystery items, themed cafés (yes, even hedgehogs), and tiny restaurants that have perfected one dish over decades. Neighborhoods like Akihabara and Shibuya feel like stepping into the future, while places like Shimokitazawa bring a more indie, artsy vibe. Paris, on the other hand, is timeless. It's strolling past the Eiffel Tower at sunset, wandering through the Louvre, or sitting at a café for hours just people-watching. Neighborhoods like Le Marais and the Latin Quarter offer a mix of history, culture, and that effortlessly chic Parisian energy. Travel tip: In cities like these, don't over-plan. Leave room for curiosity—it's where the best moments happen. NYC vs. Italy: A Food Lover's Dream Would you rather eat your way through New York City or explore the regional flavors of Italy? New York is a global food capital. You can try world-class Korean BBQ, authentic Italian pasta, or fresh seafood—all within a few blocks. It's fast-paced, diverse, and constantly evolving. Italy, though, is an experience in itself. Every region has its own identity—from Neapolitan pizza in Naples to rich ragù in Bologna. Meals aren't rushed; they're meant to be savored. Think multiple courses, local wine, and recipes passed down for generations. Travel tip: In Italy, always order like a local: antipasti, primi, secondi, and dolci. It's not just a meal—it's a ritual. And always order regional dishes—no pizza in Venice! Rome vs. Bangkok: The Ride Matters Would you rather cruise through Rome on a Vespa or zip through Bangkok in a tuk-tuk? Rome on a Vespa is pure cinematic energy. You're weaving past ancient ruins, stopping for espresso in Trastevere, and catching sunset views from hidden hills. It's chaotic, yes—but it's also unforgettable. Bangkok's tuk-tuks are a whole different kind of thrill. They're fast, a little wild, and the perfect way to bounce between temples, markets, and street food spots. It's less about the destination and more about the ride. Travel tip: In Bangkok, always agree on a price before getting in a tuk-tuk. Trust us on this one. Rio Carnival vs. Times Square NYE: Expectation vs. Reality Would you rather celebrate Carnival in Rio de Janeiro or New Year's Eve in Times Square? Rio Carnival is vibrant, energetic, and completely immersive. Think music, dancing, elaborate costumes, and nonstop celebration. It's one of the most joyful festivals in the world. Times Square on New Year's Eve… is iconic, but also intense. Massive crowds, long waits, freezing temperatures, and very little personal space. It's one of those “once in a lifetime” experiences—but not necessarily for the right reasons. Travel tip: Sometimes the most famous experiences aren't the most enjoyable. Do your research and decide what kind of vibe you actually want. Lisbon vs. Barcelona: Hidden Gems or Rooftop Views? Would you rather uncover hidden corners in Lisbon or sip cocktails at rooftop bars in Barcelona? Lisbon is all about discovery. Quiet gardens, tucked-away bookstores, and local neighborhoods full of charm. It rewards slow travel and curiosity. Barcelona brings the energy—especially from above. Rooftop bars offer stunning views of the city, from the Sagrada Familia to the Mediterranean. It's lively, social, and perfect for soaking in the atmosphere. Travel tip: Balance both styles. Plan one to two “highlight” activities per day, and leave the rest open for exploring. Final Thoughts: The Best Travel Happens in Between No matter which destinations you choose, the real magic of travel isn't just in the landmarks—it's in the moments you don't plan. It's the café you stumble into. The street you didn't mean to turn down. The conversation with a local that changes your perspective. So next time you're exploring a city, give yourself permission to wander. Because getting a little lost? That's where the best stories begin. And if you're ready to take these ideas even further, this episode is packed with travel tips, cultural insights, and destination inspiration to help you explore beyond the tourist traps and plan a more meaningful trip—definitely one to listen to before your next adventure. See you next Travel Brat Tuesday. Until then, travel deeper, slow down, and don't be afraid to go beyond the obvious. Listen to the Episode Ready to explore Europe beyond the tourist traps?

In this episode, we track Rasmus Højlund's transformative loan spell at Napoli under the demanding eye of Antonio Conte. We explore how the Danish forward transitioned from the pressure cooker of Manchester United to becoming a tactical linchpin in Italy, analyzing his physical evolution, his link-up play with Scott McTominay, and why Naples might just be his permanent home.

Last week, we learned some thoughts from the kids and computers. In the past, I've received some interesting comments from my readers in my peer group who are having a growing edge with all of this computer technology. I have been reading some perspectives on aging and how to be a kid again. And so I will share these thoughts found on the internet…perhaps it is the 1st draft.Be a kid again. Dot all your i's with smiley faces. Sing into your hairbrush. Grow a milk mustache. Read the funnies. Throw the rest of the paper away. Dunk your cookies. Step carefully over sidewalk cracks. Try to get someone to trade you a better sandwich. Give someone a hug around the neck. Blow the wrapper off a straw. Refuse to eat crust. Make a face the next time somebody tells you no. Ask why a lot. Have someone read you a story. Wear your favorite shirt with your favorite pants even if they don't match. Eat dessert first. Put an orange slice in your mouth, peel side out, and smile at people. Remember to say your prayers. Ride a roller coaster 2 times in a row. Run through the sprinkler with all your clothes on. Lick all the cream out of an Oreo before you eat the cookie part. Eat just the chocolate stripe out of your Neapolitan ice cream. Start thinking now about what you want for your next birthday. Lie on your back in a field and look at the pictures in the clouds. Make a slurping sound with your straw when you get to the bottom of a drink…found on the internet. And don't forget to say your prayers.One more closing thought: international walk day is April 30. On that day, leave your car at home, walk wherever you have to go, and enjoy the spring weather and the surroundings. And remember to mark your calendar for April 30th!Warm Thought: Count your age by friends, not years, and count your life by smiles, not tears. May you have many warm thoughts in the springtime.Warm Thoughts from the Little Home on the Prairie Over a Cup of Tea, written by Dr. Luetta G.

On this episode of the Italian American Podcast, host Patrick O'Boyle convenes a distinguished panel at the Italian Cultural Institute in New York to explore the often-overlooked world of Neapolitan Renaissance art. Claudio, the Institute's director, outlines its mission to promote Italian culture across New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, strengthening ties between Italy and the Italian American community. Patrick shares the story of restoring forgotten masterpieces in Buccino, Salerno—an initiative sparked by an unexpected American connection and dedicated to reviving sacred works of art. The discussion turns to innovation in preservation. Ivan describes how virtual reality and artificial intelligence are expanding access to cultural heritage, including the creation of digital twins of the Annunciation statues damaged in the 1980 Irpinia earthquake. These tools allow audiences to follow the restoration process step by step, illustrating how collaboration between Italian and American institutions can protect historic treasures. Art historian Danielle Oteri offers a perspective on the Neapolitan Renaissance's neglected legacy, recalling how aristocratic patrons once commissioned major works for rural churches, bringing artistic excellence to everyday communities. Reflecting on emigration, loss, and renewal, the episode underscores how the Italian diaspora can help restore ancestral towns, making the past not only remembered but rebuilt.

Greg explains that waiting is a normal part of the Christian life, then he answers questions about prophetic words, having a peace about prodigal family members, what makes marriage legitimate, attending baptisms at liberal churches, training for door-to-door evangelism, and a Trinity analogy. Topics: Commentary: Waiting is a normal part of the Christian life. (00:00) Is it a biblical practice for someone to have a “prophetic word” for others and seem to know things they couldn't know, or is this fortune-telling? (08:00) Is it wrong to have a peace about the fact that prodigal family members might not come back to the Lord? (24:00) Is marriage legitimate if it's not done through the government, and what's the biblical outline for what makes a marriage legitimate? (30:00) If we shouldn't attend an LDS baptism because they believe in different core doctrines, couldn't the same apply to some liberal churches? (39:00) Do you have any advice on training a group to do door-to-door evangelism? (45:00) What are your thoughts on using the analogy of Neapolitan ice cream for the Trinity?

Was he this good all along? Is he finally getting the respect he always deserved?This episode of Football Daily, hosted by football writer and Copa 90 presenter Eugene Noble, goes right back to the start of Scott McTominay's incredible story and explores the making of McTominay: How he grew from the Man Utd academy, to being taken under the wing of José Mourinho and performing on the international stage.We speak to the likes of Paul McGuinness and James Weir, coaches and players who knew him at the academy, as well as podcasters, pundits and fans such as Jay Motty, Joe Fischetti and Umberto Bernardo, who have tracked his career from Old Trafford to the Neapolitan sun.We also hear from football journalist Mina Rzouki about how Scott has transformed under Antonio Conte, as well as Scottish Legend and commentator Pat Nevin about how he is becoming a symbol for the nation in the blue shirt of Scotland.

They're back in the Champions League. And Scotland will attend their first World Cup since 1998. So, the question isn't just how Scott McTominay got here - it's how much higher can he go?
