Hello everyone. How are you? How you doing? Me? I'm great. And my name's Oliver G. This is a show about

Paris and France. It's called the Earful Tower. And in this episode, you're going to hear chapter 8,

chapter 8 out of nine chapters. So we're almost done. Of my 2020 book, Paris on air,

this is about when I took a huge honeymoon around France with my wife, Lena.

We drove my little scooter, the little red scooter that you've heard about in earlier chapters,

and we took it around the entirety of France for a honeymoon that was pretty much unforgettable, in fact.

And I dedicated the whole chapter of this book to it because that trip was, I don't know,

it really helped me understand France. We, a lot happened. We met a lot of interesting characters.

And I think you're going to love it. So another thing that I sort of should take this chance to address is this honeymoon season of the podcast, which was three years ago now, with it came the music

that you hear on the podcast.

So I often get emails, who's that singing at the end of the show?

Here's the answer once and for all.

It's Slim and the Beast, Friends of the show.

They were on the very first ever podcast episode, actually, and they wrote a song about this

honeymoon season called Go For a Ride,

and I'm going to play it in its entirety at the very, very end of this episode,

so you can listen to it and feel like a little radio station when we do that.
