Episode 54: Interview with Bob Spiotto

In this episode, we’re joined by the incredibly talented Bob Spiotto—actor, director, producer, and passionate Italian American storyteller. Bob shares his personal story growing up in a tight-knit Italian American family in Queens, NY, and how those roots still influence him today.

From performing one-man shows as historical icons like Giuseppe Garibaldi, Michelangelo, and PT Barnum, to founding cultural clubs and paying tribute to unsung Italian American heroes, Bob uses theater as a powerful way to bring history—and heritage—to life.

We talk about humor, heritage, storytelling, and the special kind of magic that happens when passion meets purpose.

🪑 Plus, you’ll hear about the special table from his childhood holidays that still sits in his office!

This episode is full of laughs, wisdom, and inspiration—and a reminder that storytelling keeps our culture alive.
