You're listening to an Airwave Media Podcast.

Forgive the interruption, but we need to take a moment to thank one of our sponsors,

Factor. Factor is a service that delivers fresh meals right to your door.

They require no prep, create no mess, and can be ready in under two minutes.

I agreed to this sponsorship because Factor seems to be doing things differently.

This is real fresh food, not frozen, and they consult with dieticians to make sure their meals are healthy.

Factor is offering a great deal for our listeners.

So if you've ever been curious about a meal delivery service,

you can give it a try and help keep the show going at the same time.

Welcome to the Age of Napoleon.

I'm coming to you with something a bit different.

I was recently talking about the Paris Olympics with some fellow French history podcasters.

We thought it might be fun to do something of our own to celebrate the occasion.

We will still have a bonus episode on Patreon in a week or so,

and an episode from the main narrative at the end of the month just like normal.

Think of this is just a little bonus. Anyway, on with the program.

Hello everybody and welcome to this special historical edition of the Paris Olympics.

My name is Will Clark and I'm the host of Grey History, the French Revolution, a podcast exploring the ambiguities and contested

historiography of the French Revolution.
