CHATHAM, NJ - She Married Me for My Friend’s Voice: A Conversation with John Palma

This week, the Sassos welcome special guest John Palma of Chatham, New Jersey, Frank’s friend since 1988, for a rich conversation that blends travel tales with personal memories. John shares highlights from his recent trip to Italy, but it’s the connections made along the way that take center stage.

As the trio swaps stories, they also spark a good-natured debate over one persistent mystery: where exactly is “South of the Border”?

With humor, heart, and a few unexpected confessions—like how Christina married Frank partly because she always liked the sound of John’s voice—this episode reminds listeners that the best journeys are the ones filled with unforgettable people.
