Il Hamas non sono militanti sono terroristi. Vi sbagliate.

This may sound like an odd thing to praise, but I greatly appreciate the straight-forward subscription cancellation process. I do enjoy the short free podcasts, in particular the way to kill two birds with one stone (news and brush up on my Italian). I subscribed to the fuller offering, and through no fault of my own wasn't using it. Like many I have more subscriptions than I can use and find the process of cancelling usually makes me never want to subscribe to anything again. This cancellation was two simple clicks, and for that I am grateful enough that I am here writing a positive review. It is a demonstration of honesty in the product in my view. I did not give five stars only because I can find it a bit dry, and the free podcast is indeed short, but it's news, and it's a way to learn words you may not come across on your vacation to Italy. So I recommend both the free and paid subscription, and best of all, you can cancel easily if you do choose!

This used to be a useful podcast, but now it’s absolutely useless. The only thing included in the podcast is an introduction and no news at all. It should be removed from Apple Podcasts completely. I understand they want subscribers, so they should at least include a way to subscribe to the podcast in this app and get it here. I don’t want to download a secondary app just for this ONE podcast.

Great podcast. It’s been very helpful. Thank you

There used to be at least one news story included in the podcast. Now it’s just the intro.

Más diálogos en Italiano , more dialogue in Italian

I really like this podcast a lot and it is definitely helping me learn Italian. The content is interesting and engaging. The news is presented in a balanced manner with different speakers often taking opposing views. Really the only issue I have with this podcast is that if you download the app and subscribe to get the full content, you can’t practise offline. I would think that’s an easy feature to add, and then I could use this program when out of range, say on a flight or when wifi is iffy.

I thought I was listening to great content, but then they started pushing political propaganda. What a shame! Please, we just want to learn and practice Italian!

Propaganda in slow Italian would be a better title. Too many episodes have ridiculous, leftist commentary on news items. It’s the same commentary in multiple language versions, making it seem like the whole world has one view of events.

This podcast has been a great help to my language learning! Ottimo Podcast!

Good way to practice the language

Very helpful, thanks for creating this. It is appreciated!

This is a fabulous resource! As someone else said, it's definitely not for beginners, but once you have a grasp of the language, it's been incredibly helpful for me in improving my comprehension, which is something I've always struggled with since Italians speak so fast. Though it's a little sad how often I still get lost and have to rewind despite this being in "slow Italian" haha. Practice makes perfect though, as they say, and I already see signs of improvement. Grazie mille Piatrice e Alberto!

What a fabulous website for someone learning Italian who has a reasonable understanding of the language! It is not for someone just beginning. But there is nothing like it that I have found that is as helpful as this is. It is so well done. It is clear, entertaining and interesting. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I'm really thrilled that I found this podcast. These are a tremendous help for people learning Italian and I really hope they continue!
