Curious about what daily life is actually like in Italy, beyond the well-worn postcard images? ITALIAN, FOR SURE | Conversations with Italians in Italy About Italian Culture is built on a simple premise: the best people to explain a culture are the ones living it every day. Host Catrin Skaperdas, an American who has made Italy her home, sits down with a wide range of locals-from artisans and chefs to historians and everyday families-in candid, meandering conversations. This podcast deliberately steps away from travel tips and tourist highlights to explore the nuances of Italian society, regional differences, and the small traditions that define the real Italian way of living. You’ll hear personal stories, passionate debates about food and heritage, and insightful reflections on what it means to be Italian today, all shared directly from the source. The dialogue is lively and personal, offering a more authentic and accurate portrait of the country. Listening to this podcast feels like pulling up a chair at a lively piazza table, where the conversation is always genuine and the perspectives are always, well, Italian for sure. New episodes arrive every other Wednesday.
