Navigating the French episodes

  • Ep 54 - Navigating “Tripes” with Jennifer McClagan
    French idioms often use body parts to evoke emotion. Feeling things dans les tripes means feeling them at your core; having le spleen is a way of evoking malaise. A crise de foie – a liver crisis – is another term for indigestion, and having mal aux reins or “painful kidneys” means you have backache. That the French are so familiar with their bodies may be one reason that they’re also so comfortable with eating all parts of them, as Emily discusses with Jennifer McClagan, the acclaimed author of books entitled Bones, Odd Bits, and Blood.

    About Us
    From one Emily in Paris to another... just speaking French isn't enough to understand the intricacies of the locals, but it's definitely a good place to start. Famously defended by armed "immortals" of the Académie Française (no, we're not making this up) the French language is filled with clues that show interested outsiders what, exactly, makes the French tick.

    Each episode, listen in as Emily Monaco and an expert take a deep dive into a word that helps us gain a keener understanding of the French.

  • Ep 53 - Navigating “Province” with Forest Collins
    France is far more than just Paris; indeed, 45 percent of the country is still agricultural. And the French countryside, despite our provincial fantasies, is not trapped in the past. To debunk the clichés and stereotypes – and shed light on the reality – Emily is joined by Forest Collins, the cocktail expert behind 52 Martinis and a part-time resident of the countryside le Perche, to delve into a world that draws a distinct line between Paris and elsewhere: province.

  • Ep 52 - Navigating “Libertine” with Edith de Belleville
    One pervasive stereotype positions the French as having many lovers, but this is far from the whole story. To explore the complex relationship between French culture and sex, Emily is joined by Edith de Belleville, a lawyer turned tour guide who is delving deep into the 17th and 18th century and the origins of this week's word: libertine.

  • Ep 51 - Navigating “Grève” with Emma Pearson
    If you believe the news, you may think that the French are constantly on strike. But the reality is a lot more nuanced, as Emma Pearson, editor of the Local, is here to explain the significance of the word grève as it pertains to the French character and the very fabric of social life here. That this episode’s recording was pushed back twice due to strikes is… well, probably par for the course.

    Molly Wilkinson is an American expat who’s living the dream teaching folks how to perfect the art of French desserts.

  • Ep 49 - Navigating “Étranger” with Dr. Antonia Wimbush
    Many French language learners first encounter the false friend étranger by way of Albert Camus' seminal work, but its translation is rife with complexity. Is étranger best translated as "stranger?" "Outsider?" "Foreigner?" The answer is murky – but Dr. Antonia Wimbush, a researcher working on a project delving into French Caribbean migration in literature, is joining Emily to try to get to the root of it.

  • Ep 48 - Navigating “Garant” with Gail Boisclair
    The English words warranty and guarantee both come from the French garantie, but French has a word English doesn't: garant. To explore what this word means, Emily is joined by fellow PUR host Gail Boisclair. Her work as a property manager in Paris will help us shine a light on how the necessity of a garant reflects an innate French trust in people over data... and a bit of a tendency to resist change.

  • Ep 47 - Navigating “Nature” with Aaron Ayscough
    Nature can mean natural, or one's nature, or even "plain," but when it comes to wine, it means way more. Here to explore the ins and outs of natural wine, including its reception among older French people and why it's never marketed as a healthier option in France is Aaron Ayscough, author of "The World of Natural Wine."

  • Ep 46 - Navigating “Art de la Table” with Camille Drozdz
    In 2010, the French gastronomic meal was protected as a part of UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage – and the food was only part of the package. To discuss some of the other elements so entwined in this bastion of Frenchness is Camille Drozdz, the product designer and ceramicist behind Ici l'Atelier and a co-host of TERRE/MER terroir-based retreats in the South of France. She’s here to discuss a phrase closely linked to that oh-so-French passion for food – but rather than talk about what’s in the dishes, she’s interested in the dishes themselves. Art de la table.

  • Ep 45 - Navigating “Résistance" with Diane de Vignemont
    The French Resistance holds a very solid spot in the romanticized view of French history, whether you're in the U.S. or, indeed, in France. But this period of time is far from anchored wholly in the past. To unpack the history of the Résistance – the way the story is told and the way it's used to mobilize modern politics – Emily is joined by historian and journalist Diane de Vignemont.
