In this season, each episode means leaving Paris for just one day. Welcome to Season 2 called “Paris on Pause” of patpengscast®, the world as I see it®.
I will present my experience about my visits around the city, and the sites you can discover like castles, forests, lakes, casinos, etc. and places you didn’t even know they were just an hour or 2 away from Paris by transportation. Paris is still magical... but sometimes, the best part of living here is how easy it is to escape.
Just like Season 1, I'll be joined by guests who are very familiar with the place being discussed and can share their own perspectives. This means that this is not a travel guide, so get ready to embark on a captivating journey as we dive into the world as I see it®.
The time has come to wrap up Season 1 of patpengscast®. Hosting this first-ever season, titled Pardon My Parisian, has been an incredible journey.
Over the course of 19 episodes, we’ve explored the many facets of our beloved city of Paris—from its iconic monuments and scenic river to its hidden gems, cuisine, transportation, department stores, music events, and, of course, the 2024 Olympics. All of this from the point of view of my guests and I.
A special shoutout to the Expectations vs. Reality saga, which became a massive hit across five countries.
I also want to express my gratitude to our amazing listeners from 32 countries, with France, the USA, Poland, Lebanon, and Egypt leading the way.
Finally, to my incredible guests: thank you for your professionalism, insights, and humor—you made this season not only possible but unforgettable.
As we prepare for Season 2, which I hope to launch in the coming month, I’d like to wish you all a very Happy New Year 2025.
