As this Saturday is Valentines Day in this Valentine’s episode we are joined by 2 very special guests, Lukas’ wife Vanessa and Josie’s fiancé Daniel. We had a lot of laughs and chatted about the experiences of non Italians becoming a part of Italian families.

Our guest this week is Sonia Di Iorio, a Melbourne based comedian. Sonia is doing something with her comedy which we think is pretty cool, in addition to her usual stand up comedy shows, she has created a stand up comedy show which is spoken entirely in Italian!! We were very interested to chat with Sonia and hear more about this. You can see the show at Adelaide fringe festival 15th March and at the Melbourne international comedy festival 11th and 12th of April.

We had a great chat with our guest Tony Roda in this episode. Tony is a proud Italian Australian who is deeply connected to his Calabrese heritage. He created the facebook page ‘Calabrese of Australia’ which is a massive online community of almost 35K followers where all things Calabrese are celebrated. The page is popular with Italians from all regions and even some people who are not of Italian heritage.
