| 9/9/24 | CD 47 - Chris Arnade Walks the World | Chris Arnade writes the Substack ‘Chris Arnade Walks the World,’ which chronicle his wanderings as he literally walks and walks and walks all over the world. He is the author and photographer for the book Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America. Chris and I discuss the value of getting out of your physical and intellectual bubble, loyalty to your restaurant and bar, the McDonald’s test, and why America’s forgotten people would support a New York real estate tycoon and reality TV star for president. I will note, this interview was recorded prior to the Trump assassination attempt and President Biden’s withdrawal from the race. All that said, this episode is not about partisan politics.

| 8/6/24 | CD 46 - Ghiglino 1893 On Bringing British Style to Genoa | One of my favorite discoveries in Genoa is the clothing store Ghiglino. A family owned local shop that is over 130 years old, Ghiglino embraces traditional British style with an Italian twist. They have lightened my pocketbook on each visit. I was thrilled to be able to interview two generations of owners at the shop, Alba Barabino and Elena Queirolo. We discuss the history of Ghiglino, how it became the thriving store it is today, how they balance traditional style with changing trends, and the time that actor Stanley Tucci stopped by.
