French The Podcast

The regular team, in order by age: Madeline, Anna, Jacob, and Caroline. Our fill-ins are named Daniel and Jess, whom we will be recruiting for help when regular podcast-ers are out of town or some such thing.
We're just some regular Nerdfighters! Jacob had an idea for a Paper Towns Podcast before school ended, and it really just spiraled from there. We're so glad to have you following and hope you like the podcast! Feel free to leave comments and questions! We hope to get a new podcast out every week, on either Monday or Tuesday.

Guys. We’re sorry.

We have decided to postpone the podcast until we’re all done with school and get readjusted to the summer schedule and stuff. New episodes will be coming soon! Thanks to all of you who still listen to us every week even though we don’t have a new episode. You’re brilliant.

P.S. Caroline and I, Jacob, as well as Madeline and possibly Anna will all be at the Nerdfighter gathering at the St. Louis Zoo on Saturday if any of you will be there it would be so awesome to meet you! Let us know! Our ask is always open and we literally squee when we see that lovely red letter.

In which French The Podcast thinks that it will be more regular with a bi-weekly schedule but instead is just as un-reliable as before.

Sorry guys. We’ve been trying to record but the schedules have been all over the place. We promise we’ll be back soon. We’ve also been trying to get some guest hosts on and some fun interviews so hopefully the show will come back bigger and better! In the mean time, why not send us an email telling us how we can do better, what segments we should add, what we should talk about?

DFTBA!

Jacob, Anna, Caroline.

French The Podcast #19 The Whales Are Everywhere!

Caroline is sick this week so Anna and Jacob man the Podcasting station with discussions about Jennifer Laurence peppered with mentions of the Vlogbrothers videos, how adorable Henry is, how the honey badger ate the edge of the universe, and how brilliant John is at making Thought’s From Places videos. In the RADAR they almost finish part 2 of Paper Towns and talk about more ways Margo is seen. Also the ongoing theme of whales is discussed.

Recommendation of the Week

The Thursday Next books by Jasper Fforde.

As always, thanks to Hank, John, Lauren and DFTBA records. Thanks as well to you lovely listeners.

Best Wishes.

We really do like hearing your feed back more than anything in the entire world so please give it to us, positive or negative! What book should we do next? What should we add to make the podcast better? What should we take away or change?

Vote here.

Hey guys! This is Anna from French the Podcast. I’ll be heading to college next year and as a result, I need to apply for a lot of scholarships online to help out my parents.

I’d really appreciate your vote for my essay. You could even share it if you wanted to! There are three days left to vote!

Thanks so much & DFTBA

French The Podcast #18 You're Upsetting the Black Santas!

Just the RADAR today. In which Anna and Jacob discuss Paper Towns and the ideas of missing people, the awesome parents in John Green books, Nebraska, and the not unpleasant ripping open of your chest during a good-bye.

It’s on iTunes now!

Seriously, we love hearing from you guys more than most things in the world. Comments, messages, ideas, criticism, reblogs, are for us like corndogs to Hank, sex to Alaska, or pizza to John.

Best Wishes!
As always DFTBA and thanks to Lauren and Hank for the music.

Aaaaaand…

Files got deleted again!

Let’s all say it together,

So here’s a rundown of the important stuff that could have happened in episode 18.

1. We are officially switching to a Bi-Weekly schedule, that means that we have a podcast every two weeks. So we will record this Saturday and hopefully have it up by next Wednesday.

2. Next Book! We’re getting near the end of Paper Towns and we need a new book to look through chapter by chapter, it could be a John Green book, or any other author because we’re a nerdfighter podcast! We have decided against TFiOS at least for a while.

3. New Ideas! We’d love to have your ideas for new segments, ways to improve the podcast etc. etc. We also through around the idea of having Theme episodes every once in a while about different fandoms or books or topics and stuff, so if you have ideas for that send them our way as well!

4. We all love the Zenon movies from Disney Channel.

In book news,

delahoy:

I finished the last book in the Alcatraz Smedry series earlier tonight! I can’t even express my love for that series in actual words. If you ever need something to read, pick up Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson. That’s the first book - there’s four in the series. It’s amazing. The series is equal parts hilarious, awestriking, frustrating, and inspiring.

rebloging this as a recommendation for everyone ever.

Episode 17 is fixed and back up everyone!

February 3, 2012

Guys, I can't seem to listen to anything of the new podcast past the first six seconds or so. Can you check it out? I've tried downloading it, I've tried all the different links, I have an account now on there... any ideas?

Um.. Yeah it’s broken alright.

I will look into it, hopefully it can be remedied. It should just be a uploading problem and I’ll just re-upload the episode and hopefully everything will be alright! We have all the files so it wasn’t Lank.
