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.

Jesse was excited to be interviewed by Radio Canada, in French, so for anyone who might be joining us from Québec for the first time, we wanted to re-release the first episode we every recorded in French. Click below to listen to Jesse's interview and to learn about this interview with Jean-Philippe L'Etoile. Interview with Radio-Canada - https://ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/balados/33/le-radiojournal/669515/radiojournal-du-21-novembre-8-h-00 We have discussed Jesse's attempts to learn French many times on the podcast. However, for the first time ever, Jesse attempts to have an entire episode in French. Joining him is his friend Jean-Philippe L'Étoile, who he met through the podcast. As a warning, there will be many errors in grammar and vocabulary. Also, since Mike doesn't speak French, things that would normally have been edited out have not been. But we did our best, and we think it is important to try to speak the language that is so important to us.

We're happy to have one of our first guests returning this week. Abby Paige was on episode 7 and she talked about her show "Piecework: When We Were French". In a few weeks her new show will be opening at The Lost Nation Theater and it's called "Les Filles du QUOI?". She performed an early version of it at the Rassemblement in 2019 and we'll learn about it's evolution since then. Abby will also talk about some of the other amazing projects she's been working on.
