In this re-recorded episode, I return to a story that wouldn’t leave me alone. What started as a tribute to my grandfather, Papaco, took on new depth after uncovering surprising threads—especially from Sardinia, where poetry was a lived tradition.
This isn’t just about genealogy. It’s about a burned diploma, a salvaged book of Italian love poems, and what it means to defy the story written for you—and write your own.
I come from people who were told “This isn’t for you.” And we answered back: “Watch me.”
