NOTE: This episode originally housed a special radio format of The New Exchange that ran from 2023–2024. Unfortunately, that original broadcast can no longer be shared due to changes in licensing. However, you can find all of the songs featured in that broadcast in this accompanying playlist (only available on Spotify).

Wanna know what’s going to make your day better? A mix of stellar songs from France. Welcome to the next companion broadcast of The Passport Season. Throughout the last podcast, we explored how in French music there’s an alchemy of clear sophistication, joy of expression, and the multitudes of human emotions all melding into one. To further exemplify this, I’ve constructed this playlist of some of the most talented artists in France, and man…you’re going to fucking love this playlist. Each episode of The Passport Season will have a companion broadcast, this is the second of six.

These radio broadcasts can only be streamed via Spotify. However, full episodes of the podcast (new and old) are available where ever you stream podcasts (Apple, Google, Deezer, you get the point).
