Italian voters reject Europe and their own elite. Understand the background.

Below is a podcast from an Irish journalist/hack/soccer writer Eamon Dunphy (or Amoan Grumpy as some call him). He had Niall Stanage on a couple of weeks ago and it was like the blind leading the blind. Anyway, this week's podcast is with a journalist from the respected Irish Times newspaper, who has been based in Rome for the last 30 years, Paddy Agnew, and someone I respect. If you are interested in knowing a little more about the background to what's going on in Italy, I would recommend this highly.
