episode The Family Made of Stone- Part One cover

The Family Made of Stone- Part One

A young couple inherits a massive Victorian family house in Newark that has remained in the same Italian-American family since around 1900. As they begin settling into the house, they slowly realize certain rooms seem to carry emotional weight connected to generations of family history. Part New Jersey history, part literary storytelling, this episode explores old Newark, the Palisades quarry industry, Italian immigration, Victorian mourning traditions, family continuity, and the strange feeling that some places remember the people who lived there. And Part Two has yet to be written, so feel free to weigh in with some ideas.

episode Strega Nona and the Traditions We Keep: Italian-American Traditions in New Jersey, Part 1 cover

Strega Nona and the Traditions We Keep: Italian-American Traditions in New Jersey, Part 1

Strega Nona by Tomie dePaola isn’t a traditional folktale, but it reflects a way of life tied to Italian cultural traditions that continued in places like New Jersey. In this episode, we look at how rituals—Sunday sauce, the Feast of the Seven Fishes, and family traditions—can stay the same from one generation to the next, while the understanding behind them can fade. Through the story of Big Anthony, we examine what happens when ritual is separated from understanding—and how something meant to nourish can overflow into something else entirely. This is a New Jersey story about immigration, Italian-American life, and the difference between repeating something and actually knowing why it matters. This also serves as a segue into upcoming discussions of Italian-American traditions brought over to places like New Jersey.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
