Jesse was excited to be interviewed by Radio Canada, in French, so for anyone who might be joining us from Québec for the first time, we wanted to re-release the first episode we every recorded in French. Click below to listen to Jesse's interview and to learn about this interview with Jean-Philippe L'Etoile. Interview with Radio-Canada - https://ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/balados/33/le-radiojournal/669515/radiojournal-du-21-novembre-8-h-00 We have discussed Jesse’s attempts to learn French many times on the podcast. However, for the first time ever, Jesse attempts to have an entire episode in French. Joining him is his friend Jean-Philippe L’Étoile, who he met through the podcast. As a warning, there will be many errors in grammar and vocabulary. Also, since Mike doesn’t speak French, things that would normally have been edited out have not been. But we did our best, and we think it is important to try to speak the language that is so important to us. Don’t forget to check out our Patreon for extra bonus c
