Hello everyone, it is a Monday in Paris. This is the Yearful Tower. My name's Oliver G.

And this podcast is presented by French Today, the guys with the audiobooks helping you learn French.

I'll talk a lot more about them at the very end of the episode. But is this your first episode of the Yearful Tower, your first time listening?

Let me guess. Is your friends send your message saying that

this would be the perfect Paris podcast for you? Is that what happened? Well, I trust your friend's

judgment. I hope you do too. I hope you enjoy this episode and subscribe to it. You've come for a good

one, to be honest, if this is your first one, because it's kind of come full circle. Two years ago

when I started this show, I had today's

guests as my very first episode. It's a band. They're called Slim and the Beast. And they came on two years

ago and they sang a few of their new songs. We talked a little bit about Paris and over the 24 months

that followed this show got a lot bigger and so did they. And now, I don't know,

I felt like going full circle and having them back in the studio again to talk a little bit about

their new music and Paris in general, Paris music scene, that kind of stuff. You're going to be

hearing from all three of them with three songs, and they play two of their own songs and one cover

from Neil Young at the end,

which I thought was particularly fantastic. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to put in

the show notes below at exactly what time the song starts so that if you want to listen to them

separately or if you want to go back and play back some of them, which I've been doing since

the recording, then you'll know exactly where to find them.

But Slim and the Beast, yeah, more from them in a second.

First, a little bit of news.

That's what I often do before an episode starts.
