Hey Phileas, today I have an issue with social media and how it is impacting our kids and wants to know what your "thing" is, and we hear from Bruce of The Brexit Saga and Parenthood Trials fame who has a little monologue about where we could possibly do better.

Hey Phileas, today we hear from Gunnar from back in the day with a thoughtful letter, and I go on about a couple more things I noticed in France and how awesome our healthcare system is (even though most French people don't think so).

Hey all, in this today's episode I talk about my very serious problem with being back in France, and a discussion happening around the "right to die" being discussed and voted on in the country.

Hey everyone! For this episode you get Patrick and, back from the olden days of Phileas Club, Bart! Yay!

Here we are! This is the first evolution of the new format: we're going from "Patrick talks" to "Patrick talks, but also you sometimes get 'letters' from different people around the world telling you what's happening in their corner of the planet". There won't necessarily be contributor segments for every episode, but I do hope it will be a very regular occurrence. I think it's a really good way t...

Hey all, the sun is out, it's a good day! (right?) Today I focus on how the EU is reacting to .... * waves hands around *, and how we could actually be heading towards the least bad outcome.

Hey y'all, here's what's on the menu today: The leader of the far right in France being sentenced to "ineligibility". The Trump tariffs... but only tangentially. I actually talk about being "measured". Have a lovely weekend, and talk to you next time. -- Patrick I'm on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/notpatrick.com Come chat on Discord: https://notpatrick.com/discord/ Hosted on Acast.

Hey all, three topics today! The show format (and the "weekly letter from a friend in France" option). Local News: what LFI did now (and why I seem to fixate on them). Int'l News: the US department of education and whether he's a Russian plant. Hope you enjoy it! (can we even say that about this show??? :D ) Much love, talk soon. -- Patrick Support the show on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/TheP...

Hey all. I'm pretty defeated... I guess you can hear that in my voice. But I try not to let that affect me too much, there's podcasts to record. Today I discuss the feedback from last episode, AI initiatives and Nutriscore in France, and our concerns about the Trump / Russia deal in progress. I hope (against hope) that you get something out of this! -- Patrick Support the show on Patreon! https://...

Hey I'm back! And swearing! Maybe a bit too much. But it is an hour long show, so maybe the rate of expletives is acceptable. So what's on the menu today? Well, after a 10 minutes introduction I go on to talk about the situation in the US (mostly in incomprehensible rantings), and the I explain why all of this is your fault. Mostly it has to do with wokes being obnoxious and trust in government be...

Alright, let's do this! First episode of the new format for the show. I talk about right wing podcast influencers, the political situation in France, and American influence campaigns.
