Make 'em laugh? Not necessarily! In France, comédie retains some of its Ancient Greek meaning – and doesn't necessarily include any jokes. To explore why this is – as well as how that infamous French bureaucracy protects actors – we're welcoming Paris Underground Radio producer and founder Jennifer Geraghty. https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/jenniferfoxgeraghty https://www.jennyphoria.com https://twitter.com/jennyphoria https://www.instagram.com/jennyphoria/ https://www.facebook.com/Jennyphoria/ Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find Us Online Website: https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/navigatingthefrench Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/ Credits - Host: Emily Monaco. @Emily_in_France; Website: http://www.tomatokumato.com and http://www.emilymmonaco.com Producer: Jennifer Geraghty. @jennyphoria; Website: http://jennyphoria.com Music Credits Édith Piaf - La Vie en Rose (DeliFB Lofi Remix) 🎵 MSKD Sounds: ↪︎https://www.instagram.com/mskd_sounds/ ↪︎https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRql... ↪︎https://soundcloud.com/mskd_sounds 🎵 DeliFB: ↪︎https://www.youtube.com/c/DeliFB ↪︎https://soundcloud.com/delifb ↪︎https://www.instagram.com/cativo.kevin/ ↪︎https://twitter.com/DeliciousFB About Us From one Emily in Paris to another... just speaking French isn't enough to understand the intricacies of the locals, but it's definitely a good place to start. Famously defended by armed "immortals" of the Académie Française (no, we're not making this up) the French language is filled with clues that show interested outsiders what, exactly, makes the French tick. Each episode, listen in as Emily Monaco and an expert take a deep dive into a word that helps us gain a keener understanding of the French.
