Episode 38: The Tuscan Times

If you are a regular listener of the Total Tuscany Podcast, you have heard us interview Helen Farrell before. She is editor of the Florentine, an English-speaking news magazine based in Florence. The publication was founded in 2005 and now has a circulation of over 10,000/month; The Florentine reaches over a quarter of a million people online every year.

Helen is back again to talk with Travis and Pat about the latest publication from the staff of The Florentine. The Tuscan Times was an idea that has finally been turned into a reality. The first edition was published on July 16th to rave reviews. The Tuscan Times utilizes English-speaking correspondents and ex-pat's living across the region to share their stories. The Tuscan Times really is an inside look at the entire region with stories and suggestions so we can all enjoy Tuscany to the fullest.

In this podcast, you will hear Helen tell the story of how the Tuscan Times came about and what the future holds for the publication. Tuscany continues to capture the hearts and imaginations of travelers from all over the world; the work Helen and her staff is doing brings everything to life.
