| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. It's a Monday in Paris, believe it or not, and we got another episode of the |
| 0:04.6 | Airful Tower for you. It is brought to you by French today. They're audiobooks that'll help |
| 0:09.7 | you speak French like a French person. I'll be talking about them a little at the end of the |
| 0:14.3 | episode plus a little bit of Gmail. What's Gmail? Well, my last name is Oliver G. I get emails from you guys. I'm going to call it |
| 0:21.6 | Gmail. G-E-E-M-A-I-L. I'm going to start doing that regularly because I rather enjoy it. But anyway, |

| 0:33.8 | I should say the hit website, Everyday Parisian or Everyday Parisian, if you say it in an American accent. |
| 0:40.7 | We talk all about photography. She was in town fairly recently. You might have seen on Instagram |
