  • 10/10 Recommend!

    This is by far my favorite podcast of all time! Oliver Gee is an extraordinarily thorough, kind and entertaining interviewer. When he is joined by his wife Lina their sweet banter takes the fun to the next level. I found this podcast a few months ago after the death of my best friend of decades, and hearing Oliver’s lovely voice became a source of daily comfort as I binge listened to the series. In the process, I have learned more French history, geography, cultural customs and even some tidbi... more

  • Very Good for the Repeat Visitor

    I just started listening and began with the 20 arrondissements countdown series. Although enjoyable, I was looking for something less focused on "hidden gems” and quirky-ness and more “what to see, do and eat”. And just a minor thing, and she seems like a lovely person, but Lina’s constant giggles are driving me crazy. I will continue to follow and jump to more recent episodes.

    Just listened to the episode on Oliver’s doctor visit and wonder why he didn’t take a fluent French friend with him. E... more
