What it is

A weekly panel in which French critics praise and demolish the week's releases in front of a studio audience. It is the best possible source of opinion vocabulary — the language of liking, hating, hedging and being witty about it — and the arguments are entertaining even when you only follow half. Free and weekly. Genuinely hard: four people interrupting each other, heavy irony, literary allusion, 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 →
