Hello everyone. You're listening to the Earful Tower podcast. I'm going to talk to you like it's your first

ever episode. My name is Oliver G. I'm Australian. I've been living in Paris for well, almost five

years and I love this city. I've been doing this podcast for a couple of years now and I put out new

episodes every week, sometimes two a week and the show is brought to you by French Today. Now, what is French

today? It's an audiobook company. They'll teach you French. They've been sponsoring the show for

the whole year. And part of our agreement or our partnership is that once a month, Camille,

who is the voice, she's a French teacher, she's the voice behind the audiobooks at French

today. She comes on the show and we have a chat

about anything really, especially French language and she sort of helps me walk through it and

tell stories about how the French people live and how they talk, all that kind of stuff.

But unfortunately, Camille is quite ill. I hear that she's recuperating. She's getting better.

She's on the mend, but she still doesn't

have much of a voice. And she emailed me and said, Oliver, for the September episode, can't you just

dig into the back catalogue and find something we've done before and release that instead? And I said,

Camille, sure. So what you're about to hear today is a smaller episode, but it's kind of cool. It's one that we did

specifically for Patreon supporters. So this show, I'm talking to you like you're new here, remember.

This show is also brought to you by the generous members on Patreon. Patreon.com slash the

earful tower where I do a whole lot of bonus stuff. So one of those bonus things is extra episodes.

And one of the first ever extra episodes I did was here with Camille.

And I think you'll like this because on re-listening to it,

it was actually the first time I'd ever met her.

So it was really early days.
