Tutto Doppio

In this special edition of the Tutto Doppio podcast, we let G’s parents do a bit of the driving. Ron raves about the food he had in Italy, and argues that the Olive Garden is more French than Italian. Addie confesses about how she hooked Ron on cappuccini, and tells us what she liked most about traveling to Italy with Ron. We wrap up the episode with a super nice review we got on iTunes, and hear one more time from guitar whiz Jake Giles. Don’t miss it!

We're back in the saddle! This week we check in on our progress toward Italian residency. Also, we talk about how G's parents came for Easter but are staying for surgery - and we're relieved. Plus Meal of the Week with Arnie & Terrie, and listener email!

In this week's podcast, we share a delicious Meal of The Week, highlighting some homemade pancetta that we scored from a friend. A quick bit of news from Italy, a listener email, and that's that. But stay tuned until the very end to hear another solo guitar song from our friend and 14 year-old boy genius, Jake!

In this week's episode, we hear from the Italian handwriting expert from our ongoing court case - and it's bad news for the bad guy. Next, G tells us about a great osteria in our little hill town of Ripatransone. We share listener email - including TWO messages from men! And we close the episode with a very special aspiring artist: Mr. Jake Giles joined us to lay down a fantastic rendition of Drivin'... well worth a listen!

In this special bonus episode, our friends Gussie and Patrick tell us about the five years they spent raising their kids in Tuscany. G and Gussie talk about childbirth overseas, while B and Patrick find a common bond in the game all couples play: Toilet Paper Chicken. Don't miss it!

In this episode, we fall over the finish line as we punch stuff off this week's to do list for The Big Move to Italy, and B tests G's personality based on pizza toppings (a move that painfully backfires). Just when we thought the trial of the crooked "lawyer" couldn't get worse, we find out it does - but things look up because of your dandy listener email. Plus a snippet from an upcoming bonus episode!

In this week's episode, B comes clean on a flubbed opportunity to be a good husband, we explain how to buy Italian property (roughly), and G goes on and on about a couple of Nicaraguan restaurants that B will never visit. Plus listener email from friends!

In another special edition from our RV outside of Austin, we uncover a couple of Italian surprises we found in Texas, spend some time with Bob Sr. and Mary Marie, and spill the beans on three food highlights (including G's super easy super tasty pasta). Plus more listener email!

In this special edition, we podcast from an RV outside of Austin, share our tips for learning Italian (sorta), and share a very special Meal of the Week with an old friend. Plus listener mail from North Carolina!

This week, G gives NPR's Terry Gross a run for her money! We consider just about every pet transportation option under the sun, fuss over whether we'll fit in in Italy, and put a Huff Po list to the test. Plus, listener email!

In this week’s episode, we learn that our STL house is being described as a “distinctive property” and explain how building the TD farmhouse from a distance was easier than we thought it would be. We review Meal of the Week from Kansas City, and then share a listener mail… FROM A TOTAL STRANGER!

The house officially goes on the market, B explains how his fragile male ego led to the pursuit of the Tutto Doppio project, and listener Sarah goes on and on about G's voice. Plus a short excerpt from this week's BONUS podcast!

In this bonus podcast, über hosts Arnie and Terrie talk about their 21 year old annual tradition centered on a French white bean & leftover extravaganza called "cassoulet" and explain their amazing philosophy of taking care of guests. Not to be missed!

As we gear up to sell the house, G goes medieval on the dirty grout, B loses round one in the fluorescent lighting battle, and we explain why we chose Italy (sorta). Plus an incredible Meal of the Week with the neighbors, and more Listener Mail!

Gina comes to grips with a "coming soon" sale sign in our front yard, Bob surfs the web while Gina cleans the house, and we "answer" listener mail about pecorino wine (not cheese). Plus shout outs to listeners Heather, Terrie and Gussie!

We're an American couple who've decided to unplug from our lives as scientists and move to a small rural farm in Italy. Join us as we share our stories - funny, painful, and everything in between. In this inaugural podcast, Bob and Gina introduce themselves, share a little bit about the Tutto Doppio project, discuss a dinner Gina had at Peasant in NYC, and ponder the meaning of the film (but not movie) "La Grande Bellezza."
