Program 596: San Miguel de Allende; Frances Mayes A Tavola; Scottish Nationalism; Olympic Flame

Release Date: 03-07-2020

Description

Discover why the city of San Miguel de Allende is attracting artists and retirees to Mexico, and why food in Italy is reliably good — even in restaurants you might find on a road trip. We'll also hear from a pair of pro-independence Scots on how Scottish nationalism is different by being left-of-center, and a Greek tour guide explains the origins of the Olympic Flame Lighting ceremony.
