Summary

This week’s podcast was recorded at the Little Italy Days in Bloomfield.  To summarize, the topics are peppers, Italian romance and fantasy novels, self-improvement and Olympic gold medal boxing.  Just as eclectic as the gnocchi, cannoli, storm windows, gutters, car insurance and pizza booths at the festival!  Thanks to Sal Richetti and the Little Italy Days gang for having us!
