In this episode, we head to the heart of southern Italy—Naples—with our hilarious and insightful guest, Gaetano, a true Neapolitan local. We unpack the chaotic beauty of the city through stories, stereotypes, and history, covering everything from the Camorra to the birth of pizza, and even the mystery of San Gennaro’s liquefying blood. Along the way, we talk scams, hospitality, suspended coffees, and why Naples has some of the best food and most misunderstood people in Italy. If you’ve ever skipped Naples on your way to the Amalfi Coast, this episode just might change your travel plans.
