Home-ish

Send us a text NEW EPISODE — Home-ish What does home really mean when you’ve moved countries, built a new life, and still feel a pull to somewhere else? In this week’s episode of Pardon Your French, we’re talking all things Home-ish — that in-between feeling of belonging, nostalgia, comfort, and confusion that comes with expat life. When France feels like home… but so does the place you left behind. Expect honest conversation, shared stories, laughter, and those little truths that only come out when you’re trying to explain where you’re from and where you belong — all at the same time. If you’ve ever felt rooted and floating, settled and searching, this one’s for you.

Déstinations d'un DJ

Send us a text In this week’s episode of Pardon Your French Podcast, we sit down with the ever-charismatic Andy, whose story takes us from the bright lights of UK radio to the laid-back charm of life in France — and now onto his next adventure in Spain. Once spinning tracks and sharing laughs alongside the likes of Chris Evans and Jonathan Ross, Andy has lived a life steeped in sound, stories, and spontaneity. Now, his soundtrack has shifted from studio beats to the slower rhythm of European village life. We talk about what inspired his move to France, how he built a new chapter surrounded by wine, warmth, and community, and why Spain is now calling his name. His journey isn’t just about relocation — it’s about reinvention, chasing new horizons, and staying true to your passions wherever you land. This conversation is filled with heart, humour, and honesty — from tales of radio chaos to the quiet moments of reflection that come with starting over. Whether you’re dreaming of a move abroad, missing the buzz of a creative career, or just love a good story of courage and curiosity, Andy’s episode will leave you inspired to keep exploring life’s next destination.

This week on the Pardon Your French Podcast, we’re joined by the wonderful Annette in an episode called “Le Troisième Âge.” Annette shares her story of courage, independence, and finding joy in the simple act of living fully — even when life takes you to a new country, and on your own. She reminds us that every day counts and that sometimes, you just have to get on with it — make friends, try new things, and embrace the adventure, no matter your age. It’s an honest, uplifting chat about what it means to be brave, to begin again, and to never waste a single day. Tune in now on Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen to podcasts — and let Annette’s story inspire you to live a little bolder today. #PardonYourFrenchPodcast #LeTroisièmeÂge #FrenchLife #BeBrave #InspiringStories #ExpatInFrance #CommunityVibes
