• Midnight Mishaps in the Metropolis
    Jun 8 2024

    Join us for a wild ride through the city that always sleeps.

    In this episode, we ditch the early bird special and embrace our inner night owls. Hop aboard the dinner tram as we chug through across the ancient streets, dining on gourmet cuisine in areas both familiar and strange.

    But the fun doesn't stop there! We'll take you on a moonlit tour of museums and galleries that come alive after hours, where the art is a little edgier and...stranger.

    So, grab your favorite beverage—we recommend Franciacorta this time—and join us for an unforgettable late-night escapade!

    Who needs sleep when there's so much fun to be had?

  • Veni, Vidi, Vacationed: Work Life and the Many Vacations in Italy
    May 9 2024

    Ah, Italy! The land of endless vacations, month-long summer breaks, and more federal holidays than you can count on both hands. But is life in Italy really just one big holiday?

    In this episode, we'll explore the Italian approach to holidays and time off, and how it compares to the American experience.

  • More Culture More Better
    Apr 11 2024

    Why do EU countries have more culture than US states? The obvious answer is centuries of history. But we can't deny the sheer size of America! And sure, each state does have its own bit of culture—especially between the broader regions.

    Do you agree? Do you think US states have a comparable amount of culture to individual EU countries? What's your take? Let us know anonymously by writing to us at aa@americansanonymouspodcast.com
