When people call Paris the City of Light, it evokes images of a rose-tinted city illuminated by beautiful street lamps. But this "Light" is actually of a philosophical nature, as researcher Knox Peden is here to explain. In our conversation on lumière, he delves into the tenets of this philosophy and how it still resonates in French culture centuries later.

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.
