Podcast from Italy: Ashley & Jason Bartner

I was slow to joining the podcast craze and this podcast was literally the 2nd podcast I had ever tuned in to. They have basically ruined all other podcasts for me. They are so genuine and you feel like you’re listening to two friends telling you stories instead of a formal, stuffy, podcast format. I have always loved Italy and their way of life, and it’s crazy that these two expat Americans made me love it even more.

This is one of my favorite podcasts! They are “normal” people who choose to start a new life in Italy. Generally I listen to podcasts when I can’t sleep and fall to sleep with them. This is not true with this one. I listen to it wide awake and love every episode. Ashley makes it sound fun and colorful. She sees the humor in everything. She does the blogs and videos. She is also attempting to write a book. Jason is the serious cook and gardener and a bit of a curmudgeon (maybe because of his friend the Doctor 😃). People drive him crazy if they are too cute, lazy, inefficient, or stupid. I would like to hear more about his recipes and cooking. Together they are a perfect balance of complex people who love what they do and make you want to do what they do. They make living in a agrotourismo. Book a room with them, you’ll love it like we did.

So glad to wake up to the latest news at La Tavola Marche! This podcast is always so full of joy (thank you Ashley) mishaps & mischief (thank you Jason) and razor retorts from our beloved grump (thank you Gaggi) and now a newest cast member LeRoy. Keep the podcasts coming! You make my day and I will see you in you special enclave soon ! Merry Christmas!! 🎄 🎄🎄

I really enjoy this podcast. So much information and so much of Italian life. Such an honest and beautiful stories about living the Italian dream. Reminds me of living in Scotland.
