French Invasion

Send us a text with questions or feedback and we'll address it on our next showIn this episode, we welcome Pegasus McGee to our studio, under the unique circumstances of maintaining his anonymity through voice alteration.Transitioning from Pegasus, we introduce Poppy's sister, Fleur Popstein, who has joined us all the way from Paris. Our discussion quickly shifts to the perceptions of French attitudes towards America, where Fleur shares her insights about how younger generations of the French display a newfound warmth and appreciation for American culture, while older ones may be more critical. As we chat, we bring up the state of affairs in both America and France, speculating on the global political climate and its reception across the Atlantic. The conversation transitions into personal anecdotes about our travels in Paris, and how these experiences highlight the differences in cultural expectations around hospitality. As we share a recounting of a mishap with delicate crystal glassware during our recent trip, we reflect on how easily misunderstandings can arise when expectations don't align.
