What happened on your first trip to Paris? Feb 14, 2020

Show notes

Hello everyone!

It's a bonus episode today, co-starring my little brother Eddie. We're talking about your impressions from your first trip to Paris. Me and Eddie went through a wild ordeal ourselves about 13 years ago, and we share that story too.

But we mostly focus on the best stories from you listeners. We sifted through hundreds of responses and share the top ones.

During Eddie's visit to Paris, we also took the chance to record some scenes for the audio experience of my new memoir, Paris On Air.
