We have often said that everybody wants to be Italian, in this episode have some strong evidence to support this claim. Meet Tayla, 25 years old from Perth, WA, not of Italian heritage by blood however she has an enormous love and passion for all things Italian. From the Italian language- which she has studied and learned how to speak, travel to Italy- in our chat Tayla told us of her experience visiting Italy, we also cannot forget the food, we had plenty to talk about on this topic!

Tayla is vibrant and very funny, we loved hearing about her passion for our culture and look forward to meeting up with her in person.

This week's episode features one of our favourite return guests- Marco Petta! Station manager at RadioItaliana 531, based in Adelaide, Marco is a busy guy. In this episode we heard his experience visiting Perth earlier this year for the epic game AC Milan versus Roma at Optus Stadium where Marco led the fan club- Milan Club Australia in bringing some serious fan energy.

We also chatted about his most recent trip to Italy and commentating AFL games live in Italian. As we have said, he is a busy guy and devotes a lot of time to keeping the Italian culture alive in Australia. We appreciated him joining us for this chat and know our listeners will enjoy it.

We had a great time chatting Wogism creator Nicholas. An Italian Australian just like us, Nicholas is based in Melbourne. To celebrate his passion for his culture Nicholas created his brand 'Wogism' which includes a podcast, blog and Instagram page. In our chat we talked about our passion for our culture, what it means to be a 'Wog' and asked are we still 'other?'
