My 2 French favorites podcasts
My 2 French favorites podcasts
As I work quite far away from my home, I need to commute 2 hours a day (it’s quite common living in Paris).
It gives me plenty of time to listen to podcasts. Because of the noisy metro I need something that doesn’t require some much focus on and so, I mainly listen to French podcasts instead of English one.
Here, is the list of 2 French podcasts I like to listen to. If you are at an intermediate level of French, it could be quite hard to understand them as they are address to native speakers. But don’t be discouraged, if it’s hard, it means your are improving. If there is one podcast that you like, I’ll be happy to help you to understand it.
1. Nouvelle Ecole by Antonin Archer
As the title suggest, this podcast is like a “new school” with the goal to learn something from interviews. I really like this podcast and never miss one episode. Antonin interviews every week a person who inspire him. He is really good at, I like the way he formulates his questions and the flow of the interviews.
If you want to know who is Antonin, you can discover here while practise your french reading: http://nouvelleecole.org/a-propos/
If you don’t know which episode listen to first, you can start by this one : http://nouvelleecole.org/44-mathieu-nebra-comment-trouver-ce-quon-aime/
It’s an interview of Mathieu Nebra who has created an online school “OpenClassrooms”. ; and as I’m really into online learning, I like this episode.

2. Transfert - podcast from Slate, by Charlotte Pudlowski
This podcast is really different from the previous one but I’m also keen on and I don’t miss an episode.
It’s about ordinary people telling their stories, all are real, some are sad, some are fighting, some are weird but all have the goal to make you think.
I’m not really into listening books on Audible. I’ve tried several times, but the voice of the narrator are always too much inexpressive.
However, in this podcast, the editing is perfect and make you want to know the end of the story. Music is also perfect. I can’t imagine the crazy work behind each episodes.
