GIVEAWAY My first guest this season is critically-acclaimed author and journalist Sophie Hardach. Sophie’s non-fiction debut, “Languages Are Good For Us,” is about language and how it develops, how it evolves, how its learned, how its used, how it can die or be revived. It’s a wonderfully-researched book that honors the many ways in which we humans have communicated over time and mixes historical fact with Sophie’s personal experiences. Sophie has also generously offered to give away a copy of “Languages Are Good For Us” to one lucky listener. Just listen to find out how to win! https://www.bbc.com/future/columns/letstalk Join our Book Club: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find Us Online Website: https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/storytimeinparis Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/ Credits Host and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty.

The Storytime in Paris podcast will help keep this tradition alive with short interviews and readings from your favorite contemporary authors with a French connection. Every episode will feature five questions, asked by you, our authors' biggest fans, and answered live on air. Then, our authors will treat us to a reading of an excerpt from their book. Who knows? Maybe you'll even be inspired to write your own Great French Novel. Happy listening!
