Random French culture Podcasts

In “Emily Is Not In Paris: The Podcast”, host TheQueenFatima will investigate why and how people move to France and what they do once they get there. Fatima is a native New Yorker who moved to Paris about five years ago on a whim. As each year passes by, she wonders what motivates people to dig roots in France. This podcast hopes to demystify the allure of navigating French society as a foreigner. Through conversations with friends & strangers who have spent a considerable amount of time in Paris, whether 3 months, 3 years, or a lifetime, we plan to understand how France changed their scope on life and the work that they do.
