    ajoyfulrebellion.com ----more---- digangiauthor.com ----more----

    My guest today has a fascinating story to share with us. Edward Di Gangi grew up knowing that he was adopted, though it was never discussed in his family. It wasn’t until later in life that he got curious about his birth parents and began a journey that would take him to a few different states, introduce him to a lot of people he would have never met otherwise, and ultimately inspire him to write a memoir about what he found.

    Edward is the author of The Gift Best Given- It’s a story of adoption, search, discovery and reunion. Silence your notifications for the next forty-five minutes as Edward and I discuss his story. I feel confident you’ll be glad you spent this time with us.

  • Food Americana- Exploring Culinary Traditions with David Page
    Aug 8 2024

    I LOVE food! I'm up for everything from the most basic BBQ plate to a fancy, tasting menu. My guest today is a journalist, producer, radio host, and author focused on writing about the people and stories that influence what we eat.

    David Page is a food journalist, and creator of the Food Network show, Diners Drive-ins and Dives. (definitely one of my favorites) He is also the author of the book called, Food Americana: The Remarkable People and Incredible Stories Behind America’s Favorite Dishes.

    We cover a lot of ground in this episode, and I didn’t hold back with the hard-hitting questions like, does pineapple have any business on pizza, and where should I go the next time I’m in Philly for the best cheesesteak?
