We recorded this episode well over a year ago but we still think it's an important one to listen to. Friend of the show and contributor to "French All Around Us", Joseph Dunn was lucky enough to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron when he visited New Orleans. Of course Jesse and Joseph will talk about other things but this was a brilliant conversation we wanted to share.

Friend of the show Joseph Dunn joins us to talk about Emmanuel Macron's visit to New Orleans, that happened in December of 2022. It was recorded awhile ago but we think it's an amazing conversation.
