| 0:00.0 | Puglia is having its moment in the sun right now, and it's in that rare moment between |
| 0:04.8 | undiscovered and overcrowded. So the time to visit there is now. Join us as we unpack the highlights |
| 0:12.0 | of this beautiful Southern Italian region on episode 309 of the Untold Italy podcast. |
| 0:30.0 | Ciao at all and benvenuti to Untold Italy, the travel podcast where you go to the towns and villages, mountains and lakes, hills and coastlines of Bella Italia. |
| 0:35.8 | Each week your host, Katie Clark, takes you on a journey in search of magical landscapes, |
| 0:41.7 | history, culture, wine, gelato, and of course, a whole lot of pasta. |
