    The recent episode with Jay Swanson has to be my favourite of all. Such a lovely guy. Honest, clear sharing and so interesting hearing him share so openly. Certainly resonates a great deal with me. Wonderful! Am looking forward to reading his book.

  • Enjoyable!

    Love this show , enjoy Oliver’s approach to enjoying Paris - only thing I don’t get too excited about is when you start talking about your children’s book , it’s rather off topic for a travel show .

  • Comfortable listen!

    Oliver is a convivial raconteur from whom one could listen to just about anything. His descriptions of sites in Paris are accurate and factual. I often find myself smiling when listening to his podcasts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The 15th arrondissement of Paris (with a local)
Q: Do you feel like a lot of your work can be done in this district or do you need to get out?
I often go beyond the 15th to show tourists the must-see spots, but I also try to highlight hidden gems closer to home.
The 15th arrondissement of Paris (with a local)
Q: Tell me. Firstly, let's paint a picture. Where are we sitting and what's going on?
We're in a park near Commerce in the 15th, with shops nearby, pigeons around, and a casual, relaxed vibe.
Alain Delon and the murder that shook Paris
Q: What was it like researching in the police archives and pursuing such a sprawling tale?
He describes long hours in a special room, bureaucratic hurdles, and the sheer volume of material (five tons), which required persistence and a willingness to let the evidence guide the narrative.
Alain Delon and the murder that shook Paris
Q: How did you first become obsessed with this period and with Delon?
Edward explains that immersion in Delon's films, his aura, and the broader 50s-60s Paris milieu drew him in, followed by feverish archival work that revealed a complex life beyond the screen.
The 18th arrondissement of Paris (with a local)
Q: What should a visitor seek out in the 18th?
She suggests exploring beyond the typical sights, visiting streets like Avenue Juno and Sacre-Cœur vicinity, and soaking in local life at spots like Pirates de Montmartre.
