    October: National Italian-American Heritage Month

    In a way, we've been preparing our whole lives for this episode, proudly waving our Italian flags and wearing our oversized Sons of Italy t-shirts, all the while waiting for an opportunity to make sense of our mustaches, our emotional eating, our befuddling last name. On this episode, we discuss it all: the hairgel, pride, and idiosyncacies that make up the ball of tangled capellini that is an Italian-American heritage. We also reconnect with some of the Italian-Americans whose careers in showbiz made our rise to fame as renowned podcasters possible. Asta la pasta! Thanks to all of the Italian-Americans who contributed to this episode: Alyssa Capozziello, Steven Rauzi, Beth Tripi, Sue Capozziello-Horton, Evan Miglorie, Vito Capozziello, Joe Capozziello, Natalia Capozziello, Adria LaMorticella, Toni Blesy, Tony Capozziello, John Santomieri, and Lacee O'Brien. If you have any infomation in the missing person's case of Mario Spumoni, please contact this week's sponsor, VH2's Behind the Magic.

    ANNIVERSARY EDITION: September 30th: National Podcast Day

    Happy National Podcast Day to one and all! Enjoy this re-release of our award-winning National Podcast Day episode. The You Norker called it "perplexing... from the brain of a 12-year-old who's been fed a steady diet of orphan autobiographies, bubble tea, and John Waters." The National Day Calendar said, "While we know we are the main source for this podcast, it does not represent our opinions or values in any way." And critic Renee Capozziello deemed it, "WEIRD. The whole thing is just WEIRD."

    August: National Sandwich Month

    National Podcast Day returns, with hosts bronze and sticky from the summer sun (and definitely not excessive maple syrup consumption). For our 42nd episode, recorded a mere 95 miles from Sandwich, IL, we take on the questions that plague our time: Is a hot dog a sandwich? Is a breakfast burrito in a different class than a burrito? Should you feed your newborn breast milk OR coldcuts? We hope you enjoy this episode at least as much as we enjoyed making it, but not as much as Elvis loved peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Thanks to this episode's sponsor, Buck & Sons Sandwich Mongers.

    ANNIVERSARY EDITION: April 15th: National Titanic Remembrance Day

    109 years ago, the RMS Titanic tragically struck an iceburg and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, taking more than 1,500 of its passengers with it. While we can never bring back the many lost, among the detritus recovered was the journal of a very speical 9-year-old First Class Passenger, Teddy Bigglesby, who on last year's episode, Dominic and Nicole had the honor of introducing to the world. For this year's observance of National Titanic Remembrance Day, we bring you one of our most inspired episodes with a BONUS lost journal entry from young Teddy himself.

    ANNIVERSARY EDITION: April 6th: National Caramel Corn Day

    On April 6th, 2020, we embarked on a life-changing journey: National Podcast Day, a podcast celebrating national days at this uncertain time to be alive. Times remain uncertain but we take solace that we've taken another trip around the sun (moon? cheesemoon?) and National Caramel Corn Day has returned again. Enjoy a brand-new introduction followed by our very first episode, oh, Dom and Nicole, you were so young and innocent and inexperienced at editing.

    February: National Heart Month

    After a pulse-quickening editing process, the latest National Podcast Day masterpiece is at last out. On the National Heart Month episode you didn't know you were waiting for, Dom and Nicole dive into six classic songs about everyone's favorite muscle (it's the heart!). Enjoy all the love we put into this, instead of Valentine's Day. This episode brought to you by the American Heart Assiocation (North Michigan Chapter).

    January 28th: National Kazoo Day

    1 metal kazoo w/ carrying pouch: $8.99. 24 multicolored metal kazoos + shipping to WI: $17.94. Hearing your nephew play Queen's Greatest Hits on his kazoo(s) on National Kazoo Day: priceless. On this episode of National Podcast Day, we're joined by special guest kazooist Brother Simon of the Kazoo Sanctuary, who sheds light on the teachings and lifestyle of followers of The Great Kazoo. If you are interested in joining him at the Sanctuary, they are always looking for disciples with a tune in their heart and property to sign away. Thanks to this episode's sponsor Zurpleberry Kazoo Industries (would love if they could share some of their budget with us).

    January 15th: National Bagel Day

    On this episode of National Podcast Day, we come to you again from WI- truly the center of America's breadbasket, but sadly not its bagel heartland. Here, people of course consume bagels but generally without the passion or emphasis on authenticity that defines true bagel lovers. This material and cultural vacuum has also created a population wandering around with its own pronunciation of the "b-word," which you will come to thoroughly understand throughout this episode, celebrating National Bagel Day. Hope we inspire you to support your local bagel place and/or make your own bagels, as we did TWICE for this episode. Thanks to this week's eager contributors: Emily, Kaelie, Ellen, Alfred, Rachel, Janet, Jenna, Eddie, Lance, Kristie, and Taylor. Thanks also to this week's sponsor, Right Way Bagels (formerly Anything Goes Bagels).
