I really enjoy learning about France. The host is so enjoyable to listen to, as are his guests.

If you want to learn about Paris, go elsewhere. This couple fawn over each other and wonder about all the “mysteries”, most of which they haven’t solved. (He: ‘I wonder why they call it that?’ She: “Who knows?” I’ll tell you who knows: the Michelin guide or any basic web search. They wander...Read full review »

Hi, I just watched the opening ceremony and remembered my favorite city I’ve visited a few times but never for long. Living in the USA currently, I searched for a Paris podcast, found yours that transported me to the delightful alleys of the city. I always thought there was so much to learn from...Read full review »

Finally, a good podcast about France! I especially love the “Riviera” segments. I’m listening before I make another trip there in a few weeks. Love the literature references! Merci beaucoup!

I’ve been a loyal listener since the beginning and Oliver (and Lina!) do an excellent job at painting the perfect picture of Paris. I’ve taken many of their recommendations during my visits and my time living in Paris. Bravo, Oliver!

Such a great way to experience Paris and all it has to offer! I’ve learned so much listening and truly enjoy every episode. Grateful to have found this podcast and for Oliver (and his whole team)! Merci!! 🙏🏻

So much fun to listen to on my Monday morning drive into work, such a relaxing way to start the week! Loving the show!

Oh my my …. I should have written a review ages ago … finally! I discovered the Earful Tower back in spring of 2021 when Oliver interviewed MollyJWilk. I had started baking French pastries on zoom with Molly when the pandemic started, pure joy. So I started listening to these podcasts. I was...Read full review »

What I like is the variety. Fascinating people, places, history and Oliver’s not so secret obsessions. Insightful with many ideas on how to make the most of your time when visiting Paris.

I love hanging out with Oliver, Lina and Otis! Even though I no longer work in Paris, I feel like I am still there when I spent time with them every week. Merci bien!
GailRStarr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/24
Wonderful blend of “must do” sites and unusual things to do to see real Paris. Oliver, where in France have you not been but still want to go?
activitygirl1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/24
I am really enjoying listening to this podcast. The host has a great manner— informal and casual and thoughtful. One quibble is that the theme music sounds like a bad infomercial. Lots of great music out there—even stereotypical french accordion music.
SQM65 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/24
Started binge listening for fun and got to mid 2019, but can’t listen any longer. This is the show: 3-6 minutes of needlessly long intro 2-4 minutes of small talk with guest and plugging Patreon 10-14 minutes of actual content interspersed with: 5-8 minutes of off-topic small talk 3-5 minutes of...Read full review »

carolyn 62 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/24
I found The Earful Tower a few years ago when planning a trip to France. It was so fun and informative that I never stopped listening. In fact, this is the only podcast that I support as a Patreon. It’s always a good day to see a new episode in my feed.
LegalShegle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/24
Oliver is a fantastic host who consistently comes up with engaging content about Paris and France in general. His episode on the alligator in the Seine was intriguing, and was his recent bucket list episode which was fun and informative. The Bonnie restaurant looks fab!
CornishCelticPilgrim via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/24
For the last six years I have looked forward to the Earful Tower podcast popping up in my feed each week with the same enthusiasm one feels for receiving a letter in the mail from a good friend. This is due in large part to the thoughtful care Oliver uses to make sure that each episode comes...Read full review »

I learn so much-and laugh a lot, when listening to Oliver! He’s informative, friendly, and humorous. I recently became a patreon member because I truly want to further support his wonderful endeavor.

I always enjoy your podcast while I am walking. You have so many great details and you transport me to a beautiful city.

Love the podcast! Look forward to Mondays to see what the show will be about. Great recommendations for your next trip to Paris!

We spent two months in Paris last spring and even though it was our seventh visit Ollie and Nina gave us at least six ideas for activities. For example La Maison Maille French Boutique, 6 place de la Madeleine for mustard tasting and great little six packs to bring home for gifts.
Comical Timekeeper via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/24
My husband & I are mildly obsessed with Oliver & all that he uncovers in France. The ‘secret’ Paris so many claim to share is actually found here! It’s real life, hearty & delicious! A scrumptious podcast in my opinion.
Kiki__keeks__ via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/12/24
Love Oliver’s approach to this podcast and I love how real it is too. I listened (intently) to his podcast on Île Saint Louis and it’s beautiful walk and then when I went to Paris last October i used the knowledge gained within the podcast. Super insightful and super useful. I also used his 10th...Read full review »

Whilst I absolutely love this show, I’m also one for honest opinions. You can tell Oliver Gee has taken time and put thought into developing his ideas, turning a hobby into a full-time job. From the early episodes of “radio madness” to well-developed seasons, the show offers different things...Read full review »

Love listening to Oliver (&Lina) on all things Paris and further afield. So entertaining, informative & uplifting! Enjoying catching up on the back catalogue as well.
Poo queen via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/12/24
This is my perfect way to keep up with all things Parisian when I can’t be there in person. And always an inventive theme to a ‘season’. Oliver opens doors where others just walk on by. Magnifique!
DragonKath via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/12/24
Love podcast! Since Covid days Oliver and Lina and friends have welcomed us all to their happy world. When so much troubled in this world they bring cheer to everything they touch!
digmollie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/24
I have been following The Earful Tower since before the pandemic. When I couldn’t travel to Paris because of the restrictions, Oliver took me there. His witty podcasts are so much fun—great topics and great guests—and there is always something new to learn. Thanks for keeping Paris in my ear when...Read full review »

Found Oliver and his lovely wife Lena when planning my first trip to Paris with my friends in 2022. They did a fantastic season touring around all the arrondissements of Paris and their feedback really shaped my trip. We stayed in the Marais and loved every minute of it. Since then I’ve continued...Read full review »

What a Joy to get the new podcast each week. Always new things to learn about Paris. We always look forward to adding his information and insights into our annual trip to Paris.

It’s always interesting and entertaining. Full of useful information to enhance a trip to Paris! Oliver and Lina are great!
Texas Bryan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/24
Oliver Gee’s podcast is so wonderfully interesting, informative, and unpretentious—truly in a way that only an Australian (or a Canadian) could deliver! A must for any Francophile!
EEHAinFoCo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/24
This wonderful podcast covers so many aspects of Paris. My favorite episodes are ones when Oliver talks with people who live, work, and play in France. I look forward to the show every week. I’m proudly a Patreon member for six years and counting!
Lilly1009 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/24

It’s taken me a long time to review but the Earful Tower has been my top podcast for 4-5 years now.

Oliver’s podcast has been a favourite for the past year and a half. Even when I do not have a trip booked to Paris. It is my first recommendation when someone tells me they are going to Paris. I will be using his episodes as inspiration for my upcoming visits.
LCJervis via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/11/24
Oliver is such a joy to listen to! His obvious admiration and sense of wonder about Paris come through in each episode. I always feel like my friend is guiding me on a weekly adventure around the city. I can’t wait to return to Paris armed with Earful Tower inspo!
Coleole74 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/24
I have lived in Paris for 14 years and I learn something new about this city every time I listen to Oliver. Highly recommend!

great podcast about all things paris, including interesting interviews with local parisians. love starting my week with this podcast on mondays!
ewmarais via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/24
This is the best podcast about Paris. He takes you to parts of the city that you won’t find discussed in guide books. He has a passion for the city and shares it with you the listener. He is best when he does the podcast by himself or with the special guests he interviews. You will learn so...Read full review »

The Earful Tower is always so informative and entertaining. I always feel like an insider when I listen, like I’m getting a backstage pass to all the incredible things Paris (or any destination spotlight) has to offer.
jordan_michele via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/24
I’ve listened to this podcast for the last couple of years, I previously lived in Paris for 6 months and now I try to go back every year and Oliver inspires me to always go and find new cafes, areas and museums to explore.
Amytravelgirl via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/11/24
This podcast is terrific. Oliver explores the real Paris and then prepares detailed written guides that pair well with the audio. This podcast is regularly a subject of conversation in our home. Our own photos and memories mix with Oliver’s interviews and explorations. Truly outstanding. Thanks...Read full review »
