Episode 33: Italy (Part 2)

In All of Us Command is a new podcast where we learn about countries and their national anthems. We will be drawing each new country out of a hat and taking turns researching them. Today, Kate tackles Italy Part 2, because if this isn't a two-part episode, then we don't know what is.

Show Notes

In Episode 33, Kate learns about the back half of Italy's history and we get to meet our dear friend of the podcast Mussolini before listening to the anthem.

What is In All of Us Command?

In All of Us Command is a show about countries and their national anthems. Each week, the hosts will draw a country at random and learn about their history and the history of their anthem. We will listen to the songs and rate them on several criteria.

Join our hosts, Aaron and Kate, as they learn how very little they know about the world outside of Canada.
