| 0:12.0 | Ciao at all and benvenuti to Untold Italy, the travel podcast where you go to the towns and |
| 0:18.5 | villages, mountains and lakes, hills and coastlines of Bella Italia. |
| 0:23.8 | Each week your host, Katie Clark, takes you on a journey in search of magical landscapes, history, culture, wine, gelato, and of course, a whole lot of pasta. |
| 0:35.4 | If you're dreaming of Italy and planning future adventures there, |
