Summary

Hello everyone! 

It's a bonus podcast episode from The Earful Extra podcast! Starring Lovely Lina and introducing my friend Shelly Bittler, this is a discussion about a new project I've been working on: The Paris Burn List. 

What's that? Well, when the Notre Dame burned I was disappointed I never climbed to the top because “it was always there”. So I realized there were things in Paris I wanted to do before it was too late, for whatever reason. 

I got 12 friends together and got them to pick five things they had never done before, and list them in order of difficulty. The goal was to do all five on our own lists before the end of the year.

Here's a chat about the idea, how it's progressing, and a look into what 13 Parisians pick as things to do in their own city.

Hello everyone. You're listening to an episode of the Earful Tower podcast. My name is Oliver G.

Who am I? Well, I'm just some Australian guy who's been living in Paris for five years, and I quite love Paris, and I love sharing it with you.

a secret, top secret private podcast called The Earful Extra. And for a few different reasons,

0:35.6

I'm releasing one of those private episodes into the wild

0:39.1

to all you guys. Now, I'll go through a few of the reasons why I'm doing that in a second,

0:45.3

but first, I think it's really important that I say this at the beginning rather than at the end.

audiobooks but they're giving you guys 50% off and the way you can get that is you go

Now the reason I'm being so serious and saying it all so quickly at the start of the episode rather than the end is because this offer runs out at midnight on Monday Pacific Time. This episode is Monday. So you have today to get this 50% off and it's 100% money back guarantee. It's, uh, look, you guys know how it works by now,
