After a gloomy couple of months here in SW France, we decided to abandon ship and head over to Lanzarote for a week of sun and fun. Lanzarote is one of the 8 Canary Islands, under the Spanish flag but just off the coast of Africa. What an incredible trip...as you're about to hear.

Around two years ago we created this little podcast to keep in touch with friends and family. At the time, I don't think we anticipated bringing you Chapter 100. Thanks to all who participated by sending us your questions. We hope you enjoy the answers. Here's to the next 100. Cheers.

Our first podcast of 2024 features a look at the Ch'ti, a northern French community with a sound all to their own. We also take a look at some of the new words, French and English, appearing in the 2024 dictionaries.

Time to say goodbye to 2023 on this, our last podcast of the year.

We talk about a few of our favorite stories from this past year, and discuss some of France's New Year's Customs.

On today's show, we will introduce you to Miss France, pass on the latest from the upcoming Paris Olympics in 2024 and visit the charming Roquecor Christmas Market.

A strange phenomenon has hit rural France. Many of the Villages have found their name signs upside-down. We explain. Also, we run through some of the strangest French Christmas Customs.

It's the most commercial time of the year. And festive, and quaint.

We check out the first Christmas market of the year. And yes, a live taste-test of some online Egg Nog Julie purchased. Finger's crossed.

Could wild hogs and boars be slowly taking over the planet? Find out more as Julie gets down and dirty with Super Pigs. We also take a look at Canada's declining life expectancy numbers.

The long awaited bio-pic about Napoleon Bonaparte has been released, and shocker, the French aren't happy about it. Also, Jeff reviews the wine he found in the ditch.

It's a talent competition that has been a part of the European fabric since the mide 1950's. On this week's podcast, we take an in-depth look at Eurovision.
