2007-12-19T20:13:00.000+01:00

We tend to make some sweeping generalisations about France and the French on this show, so it's nice to get a "real" Frenchman in to set us straight occasionally. With Tracey and Pierre back in the CTS, we chat about some interesting topics in episode 104, such as the pronounciation and choice of names in English and French, English classes and learning English in France, and for some strange and unknown reason, we deviate completely ffrom the topic in true k&k style and talk about the phenomenon that is "French judge school".

Kyliemac pulls out the "halloween candy" and turns the group of non-Americans in front of her into guinea pigs for a while, then we continue in the format of the last few episodes -what one listener so astutely called "orchestrated chaos"- with some topics such as berets, being on time and bachelors jam.

We chat about Thanksgiving and traditions, Kim tells us all about the Very Dramatic Student Strikes that have held her University hostage for the last few weeks, then we discuss the effects of the ongoing public transport strikes and suspected sabotage.

We're delighted to still have Tracey with us in the coffee table studio for episode 90, especially because the Australianisms are flying all over the place, and poor Kyliemac gets stuck smack bang in the middle of it all. We discuss the pronounciation of certain words and what French people living in Australia think of Australians, then we have an impromptu Italian cooking lesson with Tracey. We also talk about how Tracey and Pierre are preparing to move back to Australia, then chat about apartment sizes and relationships with neighbours in Paris. (Show links)

It's taken 89 episodes, but we've finally got Tracey, another Australian, on the show (and boy, is Katia happy, because she's finally not the odd one out). We have some fascinating conversations scattered liberally with Australianisms (and Kyliemac stares at the goings-on with round eyes - who knew she could be lost for words?), what it was like for Tracey to be brought up as a bilingual English/Italian-speaking child, the perception of far-away foreign countries by the French, multi-cultural America and Australia, then Katia recounts a recent trip she had to the north of France.

We're not sure what's come over us in episode 85 (it might be due to the amount of chocolate and champagne we consumed in the previous episode), but with the wonderful Vivi in front of the mike again, we discuss a lot of really deep and meaningful topics, including culture, identity, nationality and what "home" really means.

After one of the most lengthy intros ever (remind us not to go through a month of shout-outs ever again!), Katia recounts her trip to Australia whilst Kylie (not so quietly) fumes in the corner of the coffee table studio.

Spring is coming to Paris, and although we're expecting another cold snap, the tourists are out in force, so we're both trying to improve our karma by helping tourists. We also rant about lots of different random things: magic pens, alcoholic coffee, French keyboards, driving, stamps, being secretaries, salons, oysters, the texture of foods, English cream tea and putting milk in your tea. It's all in episode 29. (Show links)

This episode is brought to you by the French phrase, "tout est bon dans le cochon" (everything in the pig is good to eat).

And don't worry, we manage to squeeze in a few laughs too. (Show links)

2007-02-18T19:11:00.000+01:00

In episode 22, we talk about everything from Valentines day to vandalism, and get distracted by discussions about ginger, aphrodisiacs and scourging. Oh, and there is a bit of singing. But it has nothing to do with the Ac. Really. (Show links)

If you want to hear about the dark underside of the City of Lights, check out episode 16! We'll be back to our scheduled programming very soon, so stay tuned!
