Ever wondered how a $20 bill could symbolize a life changing moment or how the warmth of Italian family life contrasts with its perceived patriarchal structure? We're diving into all this and more with an incredible panel discussing "Nonnas," a film now on Netflix that beautifully captures Italian American culture. Broadcasting from the vibrant Red Sauce Studio in Little Italy, John and Pat invite you to join a lively discussion featuring Brenda Vaccaro, Stephen Chbosky, Liz Maccie and Jody Scaravella. Together, we'll uncover the heartwarming inspiration behind this cinematic gem.

We’ll also explore compelling tales of family and heritage, where kitchens are more than just a place for cooking – they’re the very heart of the home. Hear from a guest actress whose Sicilian roots led her to Broadway, and the significance of strong matriarchal influences in shaping her career. From Brenda's masterful domestic skills cultivated in Calabria to the exuberant spirit of Italian American identity in Hollywood, we celebrate the strength and magic that women bring to these traditions, offering a universal resonance that transcends cultural boundaries.

As we savor stories of shared meals, family names, and the pride of belonging, we’ll reflect on the connections found in Italian American communities across the globe. Whether it’s the camaraderie at the Italian Club of Dallas or the global culinary traditions brought to life in Enoteca Maria, the episode concludes with the tantalizing anticipation of a potential sequel to "Nonnas." Join us as we embrace and celebrate the joys of Italian heritage, leaving listeners with a catchy reminder that being born Italian can lead to a truly great life.
