After a short break, the Lunchtime in Rome crew is back for episode 327 with all the easy summer conversation you’ve been missing. The crew catch up on hummingbirds, deck time, and the real struggle of trying to unwind after months of going hard at work and ministry.
Travel dreams take over as they talk about an upcoming Sandals resort trip to St. Vincent and share stories from past getaways in Hawaii and St. Lucia. They also recap a fun small-town escape to historic Coshocton, Ohio — complete with live music, a big car cruise, disc golf, and way too much Mexican food.
The episode keeps the new format going strong with “celebrate with those who celebrate and mourn with those who mourn.” Listener stories bring both laughs and heart, while the crew gets honest about emotional needs, the desire for security with family, and learning to rest when life finally slows down.
Of course, no Lunchtime in Rome episode is complete without food opinions. This week they debate the ultimate hot dog toppings — ketchup loyalists, mustard fans, and everyone in between weigh in with strong takes.
It’s the perfect mix of summer vibes, relatable talk, and good laughs.
