This is one of my favorite podcasts! They are “normal” people who choose to start a new life in Italy. Generally I listen to podcasts when I can’t sleep and fall to sleep with them. This is not true with this one. I listen to it wide awake and love every episode. Ashley makes it sound fun and...Read full review »

I really enjoy this podcast. So much information and so much of Italian life. Such an honest and beautiful stories about living the Italian dream. Reminds me of living in Scotland.

Love this podcast about life on a small Italian agriturismo. It’s so funny, over the years Jason is getting more crotchety-he’s becoming Dr Gaggi’s mini-me! Ashley is still her upbeat, hilarious self. Enjoy these glimpses behind the scenes!

Not usually a fan of conversation based podcasts. Started listening because my husband and I are interested in moving to Italy. I used to live in Italy for college and we go back for annual visits, but would like to return permanently or seasonally. So much of this resonates with my personal...Read full review »

I love podcasts and you guys are now in my go to rotation. I’m not sure what’s better...Ashley laughing before telling a story, Jason being grumpy about something or hearing stories about your neighbors. Almost every episode brings me joy. Thank you!!

I’m an expat in Italy and I love your podcast!

My favorite part of your podcast is when one of you can only think of a word in Italian and the other has to think of the word in English!

I really enjoy Ashley and Jason’s podcasts but wish they were more often! I’ve only travelled to Italy once but since returning, cannot stop dreaming of going back. Listening to their casual and humor-filled banter makes me smile and even laugh out loud at times! I enjoy hearing about living...Read full review »

Great podcast. Joyful, fun, informative, just seem like Americans who are fully invested in Italian living but don’t pretend to be Italian in the process. Highly recommended for people wanting to hear about the full vista of living and working abroad long term.

Love learning about your life in Italy. Having moved from the north, to a small farm in rural Florida, I feel (some of) your pain, as even after 20 years, it sometimes seems like a foreign country...lol. Have listened to every podcast on the app, but they start at 72. Where can I find #s 1-71?

Ashley and Jason tell great tales about expat life in Italy! The cooking advice and meal ideas are great, and simple to replicate at home. Would definitely recommend to anybody who is curious about life in Italy, traveling, or learning how to make amazing dishes.

As lovers of Italy who are lucky enough to visit every other year, your podcast is a connection to picture ourselves there between trips.
