Earful Tower listeners, it's Monday in Paris, the snow is gone, the river's not flooded anymore,

so you'd be forgiven for thinking nothing is happening in Paris right now.

But that is not true because as you know by now, Monday means a new episode of the Earful Tower.

And we've got a good one for you today.

But for all you people listening for the first time wondering, what the heck is the Earful Tower?

It's a podcast hosted by me, an Australian, a clueless Australian, some people have said.

My name is Oliver G, and I'm trying to figure out France each week with the help of guests who know best.

We've been doing this for about a year now, so all you guys have been around for a year, you know the story. All you new guys, welcome.

So, before we even get into it,

I want to say a big thanks to the Patreon supporters

for essentially making this program possible.

Big thanks to you guys.

For all of you who want to join in,

all the links are there.

You'll be able to figure it out.

And thanks in advance if you do.

But on for today's episode. Ever heard of

the difference between Paris and France, you see, because she lives in the morning very recently, and we talked about her new book. We talked a lot about the difference between Paris and France, you see, because she lives in the

countryside with dozens and dozens and dozens animals.
