Episode 121: Two Castles in Italy
Welcome to Episode #121:
Today I share a podcast I made last month while contemplating the after glow of being in Italy and sharing new adventures writing on Substack - At My Table. I share an excerpt - Two Castles in Italy that weaves together Italian moments and books I have enjoyed, and the life moments that have happened along the way. Italy continues to be a creative catalyst, opening new doors and perspectives. There is much inspiration from the journey of podcasting, and the travel and writing adventures in Italy.
