“The first two seasons worth of episodes are lovely, but wow the tone of season 3 is almost impossible to listen to. I imagine it’s to do with videoconferencing technology problems, but the flow of conversation is awful. I don’t want to blame the host, as I imagine she’s just working with a hard...”Read full review »

“Barely made it through one episode. The host was a terrible interviewer, constantly bragging about who she knows, what she’s read, blah blah blah. We’re not here to hear about you, we’re here to listen to the guests. I guess I’ll need to go back and try season 1 and 2 according to other reviews....”Read full review »

“Interviewer interrupts her guests too much. It would be much more interested if she allowed her guest to finish their thoughts.”

“Season 1 and 2 were very interesting and informative. Season 3 is terrible. The host makes the show about her and she interrupts the guests. Interviewing is a skill and one that she lacks.”

“This ONE STAR is only for SEASON 3 ONLY. This new host is THE WORST. I LOVED LOVED seasons 1 & 2. It was funny and informative and charming. But this new host is SO RUDE. She constantly interrupts the guests and makes the entire podcast about herself. PLEASE GET A NEW HOST OR RETURN TO THE...”Read full review »

“This podcast ... je suis morte de rire! I relate to many things said here being a French teacher in the U.S. and having traveled abroad with students many times. I’m passing this on to my fellow colleagues. I love hearing about other Franco-american experiences. ❤️”

“The host who has taken over for season three unfortunately dominates the conversations with frequent interruptions and immediately interpreting an answer. I love the podcast otherwise, but I really want to hear more from the guests! The constant interruptions made it very difficult to enjoy the...”Read full review »

“I really want to like this podcast. The guests are generally very interesting, but the current host seems more interested in talking about herself than in finding out what the guests think. I have never heard an interviewer interrupt more often than she does. It’s almost comical at times”

“Was so excited to see the interview with Graydon Carter and so disappointed while listening to it. Here are some (hopefully) easy improvements for the host to make for next episode:
- don’t talk about yourself
- don’t name drop
- ask follow up questions after guest’s responses
Loved the first...”Read full review »

“I just listened to this season’s host, Liesl Schllinger’s podcast with Graydon Carter, hoping I was wrong about her skills as an interviewer. I’ve been a devoted listener to the podcasts until Liesl took over. She prattles on, as if she were chatting at a cocktail party with the people she’s...”Read full review »

“For the first several seasons this was my favorite podcast. Your former host was witty, charming, intelligent, sophisticated and engaging. I find a host for this season largely unlistenable, more interested in her self than in drawing out your guests.”

“I am beyond happy when I listen to this podcast. I often look East to imagine myself back on the French soil so maybe I’m a captive audience! But right from the start the music transports me and I am immersed in a joyful interview steeped in French culture. If you have any interest in France, or...”Read full review »

It’s great to hear like minded people and be enlightened by those who have made some analytical...”Read full review »
