  • 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 .

    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.

I found this podcast a few months ago after the death of my best friend of decades, and hearing Oliver’s lovely voice became a source of daily comfort as I binge listened to the series. In the process, I have learned more French history, geography, cultural customs and even some tidbi... more
