Loved the series
Congratulations on presenting a unique voice that talks to the next generation of Italian Australians. You have beautifully captured the complexity of the migrant experience with a characteristic Italian flavour. Complimenti.
Great series
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the various perspectives of the Italo/Australian diaspora. A diversity of experience is presented spanning age and gender. Well worth listening to.
