Gola: Italian Food & Beverage Culture

Your two favorite eaters to excess are finally back together in Rome, talking Italian food and beverage and how it intersects with culture, history, and identity! Katie and Danielle begin at the beginning, leaving burning Troy and heading to the land of plenty that will someday become Italy. This season is available to everyone and anyone who wants to find out why it’s so great to be a goloso, but join the Gola Patreon to get access to all the gluttonous content you can stomach at Patreon.com/golapod!

In this episode you’ll hear Danielle talking about her new book A Bite-Sized History of Italy, available for pre-order at The New Press or anywhere you buy books — and listeners of Gola can enjoy a 30% discount by adding the promo code Gola30!

You’ll also hear Katie talking about her latest greatest—a book very appropriately titled *Rome* and available on her website or anywhere you buy books!
