292: Family, Fame and Loyalty, Italian-American Style: "On the Rocks" Author Maria Palmer on her Father's Rise and Fall from Grace
This week on the podcast you're coming home with me to McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania.
An Italian-American enclave about ten miles west of Pittsburgh, it's the home of the once-famous Primadonna restaurant, which serves as the backdrop of the story you'll hear this week from "On the Rocks" author Maria Palmer--daughter of the restaurant's owner, Joe Costanzo.
"On the Rocks" chronicles Joe's rise to success in the 1990s as not only the owner of the Primadonna, but also a radio host, columnist, and aspiring politician, to his sharp fall in the early 2000s, ending in a stint in federal prison.
Maria walks us through what it's like to watch as everything her father has built comes crumbling down, and what it's like to recover from it.
Come with us on a conversation that dives into hard work, loyalty, betrayal, and a whole lot of Italian food.

Let's be honest: It’s easy to turtle away in when you live in America--ignore the real problems that are happening in the rest of the world.
That’s why it’s even more important to stay informed.
Today we’re going in hard on a big political topic that's top of mind these days, as war rages in the Middle East and we hit the two-year mark in the Russia/Ukraine conflict: Should America just mind its own business when it comes to foreign conflict?
