What it is

One scientific question per episode — a new telescope, an epidemic, a mathematical proof — put to two or three working researchers. The host asks the naive questions on your behalf, which is exactly what a learner needs, and the Greek- and Latin-rooted vocabulary transfers from English almost for free. Free and daily, with a searchable archive. The guests do speed up when they get excited, and there are no transcripts.

Episodes are played straight from the publisher's feed — nothing is hosted here, and the five newest are whatever the feed served when this page was last built. All French podcasts →
