Journalism runs in Tina's blood, and so does great Italian Food.

In this episode, Tina talks about growing up Italian American, the family traditions that shaped her, and how television once helped her grandparents navigate American life-long before she found herself in front of the camera. From covering housing issues to exploring Utah's outdoor scene, Tina shares how culture, community and curiosity guide her reporting today.

From the boardroom to the book club, Pat Tinto has spent her life turning passion into purpose. In this episode, I have the pleasure of sitting down with the trailblazing communications strategist, cultural connector and chair of the NOIAW, to talk about heritage, leadership and lifting women up. A daughter of Italian immigrants and the first women in her family to attend college, Pat shares her love of language and culture. We explore her journey through non-profit leadership, creative entrepreneurship and community building, and how she continues to champion Italian culture and women's professional growth nationwide.

Ciao amici! Grab your espresso, pull up a chair, and prepare for a soul-stirring journey through the sun-soaked hills of Italy and the heart of Toronto’s Italian diaspora with our molto Speciale guest, Daniela. Ambassador of Italian Culture, Cucina, and famiglia.

From toddling under grapevines in her Toronto backyard to kneading dough beside Mamma in the kitchen, Daniela's roots are steeped in tradition. She’s not just preserving the soul of Southern Italy, like us she’s reviving it with every story, every bite, and every lovingly crafted pasta strand.

We’ll talk childhood memories, the shift from luxury jewelry design to culinary artisanry, and her passion project Italus, described as a cultural and culinary experience that’ll have you booking a one-way ticket Italy.

This episode serves up the essence of “la vera Italia” with a side of nostalgia and a whole lot of heart.
