  • Hypocritical

    Annie will talk about the history of fascism in France during WW2 on her podcast, and she’ll even root for Kamala on her publicly viewable Facebook profile, but God forbid you *mention* the rise of fascism and homophobia in the world today on her private Join Us In France group, or else she will threaten to kick you out and ban you in order to protect the feelings and worldview of her fellow straight white women. And to think I almost spent money on her to have her help me plan a France travel i... more

  • Magnificent Find!

    This is the best travel podcast that I have ever found for France. I listen while driving, cleaning, cooking etc. I have started at the beginning and I am listening mostly in order because I am planning a trip to Paris and Nice this October with my teenage son. Thank you for all the content you are providing! Hopefully I will be able to be a patron soon.
