Italy. Were We Wrong?

Italy. Were We Wrong?

Author: Liz Deacle and Brian Deacle September 5, 2022 Duration: 48:18

Liz and Brian are still in Italy, but this week they decide to stop being so boring and predictable and instead go out and explore. Like proper tourists.  After all, this is obviously the best thing to do when you're spending six weeks in Italy.

Or is it??

In this week's show find out all about:

Was San Gimignano worth the two-hour drive?

Feeling a bit ripped off

Americans abroad vs Brits abroad

Why this restaurant in a housing estate almost made Liz cry...

You might think from the title It's a Drama Podcast that you're in for some heavy theatrics, but it's actually the opposite. Hosted by world traveller and best-selling comedy author Liz Deacle alongside her husband Brian, this is a space for the gloriously unfiltered and often hilarious conversations that happen between two people sharing a life and a suitcase. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at their kitchen table, where the topics roam freely from travel mishaps and cultural observations to the everyday dramas of family, food, and navigating the second half of life with a sense of humor. Liz and Brian’s candid dynamic is the heart of the podcast, offering a blend of laughter and genuine honesty that makes the personal feel universal. You’ll find yourself in the middle of stories that are both frank and funny, often accompanied by the clink of a wine glass and the admission that adulthood isn't always a dignified affair. It’s less about destination and more about the messy, joyful, and relatable journey, making this a uniquely comforting listen for anyone who appreciates real conversation served with a generous side of comedy.
