Customer Reviews

Look forward to each new episode. The pace is perfect. The topic are fascinating. The delivery is wonderful. How lucky I am to have come across these podcasts.
Great for French… Bad for ethics
This is a great podcast for learning French, and I was really enjoying it until they released the episode about Simone Veil. The host champions her as an admirable woman because she survived the genocide of the Jews during WWII, and then went into French politics and supported abortion rights. Do the creators of this podcast fail to see the irony that Simone Veil escaped one genocide just to advocate for another?
