Ciao Woo ,
I host “Festa Italiana,” a food radio show that will soon be airing on the new Spoony radio network on Dash satellite. Spoony is curated by Chef Patrick Mosure, a 30-year executive chef turned food service consultant. I would love to have you as a guest on my program to talk about your amazing creations – and everything Italian in-between. It’s a call-in format that can be recorded at your convenience given any time difference. Great opportunity for you to promote your blog and website at no cost and reach a foodie audience. I look forward to hearing from you.
Grazie,
Paul Petitte – Festa Italiana Host
