Viola Station 23: Rocco, Rino, the end of a crazy %@$#ing year, and Massimo Basile

This thrice-accursed season is over, so Mike and Tito pull on their latex gloves and begin the autopsy, discussing what went right (a few things), what went wrong (everything else), and what we learned (???). That segued into a conversation about the upcoming season, which got us both a lot more bubbly than we normally are as we discussed the hiring of Gennaro Gattuso and what his arrival means for the club. We rounded this episode off with a fantastic conversation with international journalistic man of mystery Massimo Basile, who is as wonderful in person as he is in print. Along the way, we learned about Ringhio and Rocco's relationship, learning curves, and how to hide on a train in Bologna--a crucial skill for the traveling fan. We hope you enjoy listening to this one as much as we enjoyed making it. Special thanks to Producer Mike, who, well, produces the show, and Windchime Weather, who provide the theme song. Forza Viola!
