Podcast appearances and mentions of oliver gee

On this episode of Parentalité we talk about the French way of reading and storytelling with children. First, Meg Gerner chats with Oliver Gee and Lina Nordin Gee, the parent duo responsible for the popular podcast The Earful Tower, about their series of children's books which all feature precocious animal characters who galavant around Paris. Lena talks about being a creative mom with a toddler and a newborn and Oliver gives us insight into their reading habits with three languages in the household.  Later in the Episode Joelle Benoliel and Rachelle Chapman talk about reading culture with kids in France from the huge influence of Bond Dessiners (graphic novels or comic style books) to the prevalence of libraries in the lives of French children. We talk about our favorite books growing up, and the favorite books of our children growing up in France.    Recommendations From This Episode Check out The children's books by Oliver and Lina Nordin Gee set in Paris for kids of all ages.  https://theearfultower.com/shop/   Our Favorite Books When We Were Young Joelle: Stormy with a chance of Meatballs, U.S.A Lena: Pippi Longstocking , Sweden  Lena: A Sunday Doll (en söndagsdocka), Sweden  Rachelle: The Giving Tree, Saul Silverstien, U.S.A   New Kids Books in English Joelle recommends, Halibut Jackson  Oliver Gee recommends, The Gruffalo and all the Julia Donaldson books.    Current French Books for Our Francophone Kids Roule Galette (young) A classic tale about a Galette Roi (King Cake) who escapes those who wish to eat her.

Cette année, la fête nationale française est un peu particulière. Il y a à peine un mois, le Président a décidé de dissoudre l'Assemblée Nationale. J'avais enregistré cet épisode avant les résultats des élections. Je dois tout de même t'avouer que je suis rassurée des résultats. Dans quelques semaines, les Jeux Olympiques de Paris commencent et cette semaine, nous allons fêter le 14 juillet. La fête nationale française est très importante aux yeux des Français. Je te parlais de l'expression “cocorico” dans les épisodes 205 et 206 sur les Jeux Olympiques. « Cocorico » est une onomatopée du chant du coq

This week on Les Bookworms Pod features two Paris memoirs that we enjoyed reading: Paris on Air by Oliver Gee and No. 91/92: notes on a Parisian commute by Lauren Elkin. Two short reads that transport you directly to the heart of Paris. Both stories touch on the experience of living in Paris following the 2015 terrorist attacks, while also navigating personal insights and reflections of the daily experience of life as foreigners in Paris and France in general. We are longtime fans of both and enjoyed reflecting on what about these books spoke to us.  You can find fuller episode description and other book reviews on our blog: https://lesbookwormspod.com For current reads and a dose of French living, check out our Instagram: @lesbookwormspod

Today on the podcast, fellow podcaster Oliver Gee of The Earful Tower joins me to talk about his newly released memoir Paris On Air (shop here on Bookshop.org) as well as living in Paris during France's 59 days of confinement. I had the opportunity to speak with him the day after the lockdown regulations were loosened, and he shared what his and his wife Lina's experience had been and what the first thing they did was on May 11th. The primary focus of our discussion is his new book. Tune in to our conversation to discover the behind-the-scenes of how his acclaimed podcast (recently recommended in The New York Times for the top 13 podcasts to listen to for traveling abroad while staying at home) came about, evolved and, in a short amount of time, became his full-time and one and only job in the City of Light. As well, if you enjoy listening to your books, Oliver explains how his book is a unique Audio Experience that welcomes the people he writes about in his book into the studio to share their voice for their part.
