Good morning, Panam!

You're listening to the Earful Tower, this is World Radio Paris, and today we've got a very special guest, Lisa Anselmo.

Hello and welcome to the studio.

Well, thank you, I'm happy to be here.

And we've got producer James Vazina, as always. How are you?

Thank you, I'm good, thanks, Shelley.

For those who... Did call me shelley just then

I want to say cheers for your really good intro there

okay well thank you that's inspired by Robin Williams and good morning Vietnam for those who weren't

aware but Lisa Anselma who if you haven't heard she's written a book just recently. Congratulations on your new book.

Thank you very much.

Also, congratulations on your work with the love locks.

Lisa Anselma, you're a love lock warrior.

Oh, God.

I'm going to get a lot of hate mail now.

Thanks.

We're a preservation group.

So what we're talking about is the padlocks that people have locked to bridges

around Paris. Lisa was instrumental in getting these removed. And this is something that we're

going to talk about in a little while. And now I'm really going to get hate mail. Thank you. Thank you so much.

It would be the first hate mail we've had on this show. I doubt it. But we're going to talk about your book and we're going to talk about love locks very shortly.

But first we're going to do something that we always do on this show and that's talking about a Paris, a French habit that I personally find a little bit unusual.
