    Excellent podcast. Incredibly insightful with really fun history content. Also, who doesn’t love these women?! Informative, funny, genuine, and conversational - makes you want say bonjour, pull up a chair to their table, and order a glass.

  • Francophile in the making

    So much fun to listen to and I learn so much with each podcast. After visiting Paris a few years ago for the first time as a real adult, I’m trying to figure out how to return. Fishwives both fills my cup for all things France and has me dying to return.
