Summary

Iiiiit's French election week! Katy spent the big night at Le Pen HQ. This week, in a Europeans first, Dominic and Katz turn the microphone on our resident French person to ask: what just happened? And could Marine Le Pen really become France's first far-right president? We're also talking about the soaring cost of housing (again) and the European microstate that just pulled off an LGBTQ+ world first. You can listen to Cody Hochstenbach calling for a revolution in housing policy here and find the latest figures from Eurostat here. And you can read here about why microstates have often been slow to catch up on LGBTQ rights.

0:26.0	It was very nice having you in Amsterdam last week.
0:28.7	Yeah, it was really fun.
0:30.0	We got to see each other in real life and we ate tacos and we shared a Mars bar.
0:34.7	We also shared a pan and chocolate.
0:36.7	And actually, I'm a bit worried that you might have to return your French citizenship
0:40.2	after what you said about this Dutch panofocola.

0:44.6	She said it was better than any French panofocola she'd ever eaten.
0:47.8	Okay, listen, this panof chocolate had like three times the usual amount of chocolate in it.
0:52.4	And it's made me rethink everything I thought
0:55.0	I knew about panofocolat. I had a normal standard French one yesterday. It just felt really stingy
1:00.6	in comparison. Well, I'm really glad that Amsterdam showed you its best pastries. But this week,
1:06.5	we're actually going to be heading to France for the show, because as probably everyone knows, it was
