The Donut Dollies

This week Gabby is joined by a very special Co-Host; Jaclyn Basilone makes her return to The Clubmobile for a special two-part episode brought to you by two proud Italian-American's. Every October it feels as if the Italian-American culture comes more alive than normal, and with good reason. October is Italian-American Heritage month, and we're honoring that heritage with someone who knows a thing or two about the importance of Sunday Sauce (not gravy), the staggering number of Italian immigrants in the early 1900s and just how those numbers impacted the statistics of service men, and women, during the war. We've traded sinkers for cannoli this week, so grab your coffee and join us for the first part of this special episode!
