Summary
This week on the podcast, it's The Earful's two new interns Thomas Farnham and Genevieve Victoria Gorain. They share their bucket lists for Paris for their two-month stay in Paris.
I found it quite interesting to hear the perspectives of American university students on the City of Light, not least because my typical guests are a bit older.
We'll check back in on them in a couple months to see how they fared.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. This is the Yearful Tower podcast. My name is Oliver G. And today we're going to be, wow, I think we're going to be turning back the clocks for all of us to when we were fresh-faced 18 and 20-year-olds and thereabouts outseeing the world. There's energy on this show because I've got my two new interns. I've got |
| 0:22.2 | Genevieve, Victoria Garan and Thomas Farnham sharing their kind of bucket list, the things that |
| 0:28.3 | they want to do, the five things they want to do during an internship in Paris. So I think it'll be |
| 0:35.6 | interesting for everybody. I kind of probe them on what they sort of, |
| 0:40.3 | not in a testing way, but what they know about Paris and the things they've chosen coming here |
| 0:45.1 | as a university-aged human being. So we're going to be getting through their bucket list. |
| 0:49.4 | And then, of course, I'll be sending them out across Paris to tick these things off and report back. |
| 0:55.0 | A few bits of housekeeping first, even though Genevieve Victoria Garan's name is that, we call her Victoria on this internship at her own request. |
| 1:06.7 | So I'll be referring to her as Victoria. |
| 1:09.9 | And otherwise, a few other things pop up. |
| 1:13.6 | And if you think about scrambling around for a pen to write it down, |
| 1:16.4 | don't worry, they'll be in the show notes and also in the substack newsletter that I send out, |
| 1:23.2 | usually every Monday and every Friday. |
| 1:25.9 | This episode is brought to you by myself. |
| 1:29.3 | I'm bringing it to you from the Earful Tower. |
| 1:31.1 | What I mean by that is there's no sponsors here. |
| 1:33.3 | Instead, I'm going to encourage you to either book one of our famous walking tours. |
| 1:37.5 | Check those reviews out on TripAdvisor. |
| 1:39.9 | We do Monmart, Latin Quarter, and the Marais. |
| 1:44.0 | In fact, we do other things too, if you just ask. |
| 1:46.9 | And also Patreon and Substack members. |
| 1:49.8 | You guys are keeping this thing spinning. |
