What it is

Each half-hour episode is edited testimony: two or three people recounting something that happened to them, with almost no narration. That makes it the single best listening resource here for how French people actually speak — hesitation, everyday slang, accents from all over France — rather than how radio professionals speak. Free, published every weekday. Precisely because it is unpolished it is harder than the presenter-led shows, 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 →
