Bad Italians

by Jess and Steven

Benvenuti!...and welcome to Bad Italians! We are Steven and Jess! In this season of the podcast, we talk about what it’s like to grow up as Italian-Americans. How we try to keep Italian customs alive, (nonna’s pasta dishes, family traditions), while understanding none of it! In our show, we openly talk about relationships, dating advice, pop culture, friendship, along with trying to understand Italy better with ending each episode with an Italian word or fact of the day! Come join us as we talk about life, and attempt to make ourselves mediocre Italians at best.
