Ciao! Siamo Gabriele e Angelique. Benvenuti nel nostro podcast!

We are passionate language learners, and we record for you the language learning podcast we’d like to play when we learn new languages

Our podcast in mixed English and simple Italian helps beginners and intermediate Italian language learners enjoy engaging content about Italy, its language, and its culture from day 0 of their language learning journey.

Today we’d like to share with you our conversation with Martina Bartolozzi, an Italian American trained butcher and food expert, who was born and raised in Tuscany.

If she’s not busy sharing her anecdotes on the local food scene and food customs of Italy on Instagram, you can find her working on her personalized or ready-to-go interactive maps and writing stories of women in food.

We personally had a great time chatting with her about her life story, the struggle of Italian women in the food business, and the contrasting food culture between Italy and the States.

This episode will conclude our first season of the Italian Escape Podcast. 

Next month we will disappear for a brief period as we take a break to recover and prepare for the next season. The format of our episode will be a bit different compared to the first episodes.

This episode will give you an idea of what you’d expect when we return this November.

In the meantime, if you love our podcast and would like to help us out, do leave us a review in Apple Podcast and on Spotify. Another way of helping us is by joining our Patreon community, as we’ll be putting up more exciting stuff once the next season starts.

And now, we present to you our conversation with Martina. Listen NOW and learn about the importance of sharing stories of the food we produce, cook, and eat here in Italy.

Imagine trying to grasp the rhythm of a new language while also understanding the soul of the place it comes from. The Italian Escape: A bilingual English-Italian language podcast is built on that very idea. This isn't a formal lesson; it's a relaxed, bilingual conversation between a local Italian and a foreigner who's been there. You'll hear English and straightforward Italian woven together as they discuss everyday life in Italy, the nuances of its culture, the stories from its history, and the character of its people. The approach is designed to take the pressure off, making the journey accessible and genuinely enjoyable for anyone from a curious beginner to an intermediate learner. By listening to this podcast, you absorb the language in context, picking up vocabulary and phrases naturally through real topics and genuine dialogue. It’s about finding the joy in connection, turning what can feel like a daunting task into a small, regular escape to Italy. The conversations are the core-warm, informative, and paced for learning. For those who want to dive deeper, extended support like vocabulary guides is available through their Patreon community, but the main podcast stands on its own as a welcoming gateway. Tune in and let the language unfold around you.
