recorded stories will be

stories, are what keep a
culture alive, connected,

The episode has been a
favorite among listeners,

episode bursting with the
true essence of what it means to be Italian American.

our show is the “Storytelling Segment” included at
the end of each episode.
This is where we air the
recorded stories of our

Italian American. It is also
a place where we invite
our listeners to share their
own stories. Everyone, including readers of We the
Italians, is invited to visit
