Episode 15: The Meat Under The Pasta

Michele and Henry find a small window in their holidays to talk Napoli and the feeling in the city ahead of the new season. Henry has to be brief because his cena is waiting downstairs and he doesn’t want to get in trouble with the Italian in-laws.

They do, however, find time to salute Ciro Mertens, go deep on the Neapolitan feelings towards the team ahead of kick off and we answer listener questions.

We're pleased to present a new feature! We will be answering at least one listener question every episode. Just send your question in the form of a voice note (try to keep it under a minute, a minute at the most) to Raffa's email raffanapoli83@gmail.com.
