Earful Tower listeners, it's another Monday in Paris. That means another episode of the Yearful Tower.

But if you're tuning in for the very first time, I figured I'd take the chance to just say what you're listening to.

This is a podcast, all about Paris and France. I'm Oliver G. I'm just going to kind of guide you through this country and city as I figure it out with the help each week of special guests who know

the best. And today we've got a really good guest. We've got Cara Black, the author, the crime

fiction author. She's the one that wrote all the murder in Belleville, Murder in the Marais,

all those kind of detective books starring Amy LaDuke. And yeah, we had a good old chat about, well, we talked about everything.

We talked about her books.

We talked about why paying in euros isn't sexy.

We talked about the San Francisco coffee scene.

We talked about, I mean, a lot about Paris.

And we even talked about if Julius Caesar had a Paris blog what it would be about.

So that's coming up in a second,

but I just want to point out a few things. Firstly, Kara said a good quote. She said, and you'll hear it in a second, but she said, the true heroes are anonymous. And I like that, but I want to say who my

true heroes are. And that is the Patreon supporters to this show I want to send out I want to dedicate

this show to you guys because well because if it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't be sitting here

doing it so enormous thank you to you guys we had a big milestone just yesterday last night

someone subscribed to make the total to over a thousand dollars a. So that is well on the way to a salary.

And you guys are my heroes, quite simply.

So thank you deeply, honestly and sincerely for doing that.

But anyway, on with the episode with Cara Black.

One thing you need to know is she says the word fleaks a lot.

Or I'll fleak, and that is a cop.
