About this listen

 Bada Bing Bayou is where South Sicilian roots meet Southern charm. Hosted by Lawrence Ingraffia and Patrick Campesi, this podcast dives into the experiences of young Italian American professionals who straddle the line between their rich heritage and modern identity. From family traditions and old-school values to business, culture, and the feeling of never being "Italian enough," we explore what it means to celebrate our roots while carving our own paths. Whether you're sipping espresso or stirring a gumbo, join us for real talk, laughs, and a fresh take on Italian American life in the South.Patrick Ross Campesi and Lawrence Joseph Ingraffia Social Sciences
