Episode 98 - Récits Francophones au Coeur de l'Amérique Podcast
We're back from back with a fantastic new episode we hope everyone will enjoy. When we first started the show, almost four years ago, we were mostly talking about New England, because that was the story we knew. We've been lucky to talk to people all over our country and the whole world. In this week's episode you'll learn about James and Patrick and their podcast Récits Francophones au Coeur de l'Amérique, which is based in Kentucky. We can't thank them enough for coming on the show.

Customer Reviews
Fascinating Interviews
Listening to this podcast, I've found myself having quite a few 'driveway moments,' where I parked the car at home not willing to get out because I wanted to hear the end of the guest's story. Jesse is a fantastic host and always keeps the energy up and the conversation moving.
Our culture shall survive.
This is a great way to learn more about the culture I hold so dear to my heart.
Keep it up my friends, keep it up.
Good Guests
I learn a lot with every episode. Keep those great guests coming! Lise Pelletier was particularly interesting. I’m half Québécois and half Acadian. I didn’t know much about that Acadian side until the episode with Lise.
