The word francophonie might seem to mean "the ability to speak French," but when explored through a socio-political lens, it emerges as something far more complex than one might think at first glance. Our guest this week is Gemma King, Senior Lecturer in French Studies at the Australian National University, specializing in contemporary cinema, museum and cultural studies.

About Us
From one Emily in Paris to another... just speaking French isn't enough to understand the intricacies of the locals, but it's definitely a good place to start. Famously defended by armed "immortals" of the Académie Française (no, we're not making this up) the French language is filled with clues that show interested outsiders what, exactly, makes the French tick.
Each episode, listen in as Emily Monaco and an expert take a deep dive into a word that helps us gain a keener understanding of the French.
