Tutto Doppio

Bob Nease & Gina Secura

Join an American couple as they unplug from life as scientists and move to a small farm in rural Italy. We'll share what we've learned - usually as a result of some sort of misstep - as we get to work on our little organic vineyard, olive grove, and farm. The area around the farm is breathtaking, the people are friendly, and life there is amazing.

    #33 – Sweet Summer on the Farm

    #26 – We're Baaaaaack!
    Well, B finally got around to editing a p-cast we’d recorded NEARLY THREE WEEKS AGO. We talk about friends who’ve come to visit, the twists and turns of applying for residency, the successful arrival of our stuff from the US of A, and how our good Italian friend earned sainthood in our eyes over the registration of our new car. We close with a song called, “Keepin’ On” by Paul Perkins. We’re back in the saddle – more to come!

    #24 – Our First Week on the Farm… Including a Minor Disaster
    This week is our first full-length episode from the Tutto Doppio farm in beautiful Le Marche… and we are starting to settle in: applying for our residency permit (ping pong style), arranging for cell phone service, renting a car, and the like. B comes clean on his big car mistake, while G is relieved at the safe arrival of the pets. We also had our first visit from the US!

    #11 – The Big Move Draws Closer, Pizza & Personalities, Trial Twists, and Listener Mail!
    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!

We review Meal of the Week from Kansas City, and then share a listener mail… FROM A TOTAL STRANGER!
