132: Documenting the everyday in Paris with Seb Emina

There’s something about leaving Paris, even briefly, and returning that makes all of its idiosyncrasies and charms all the more compelling and obvious. And sometimes, it takes talking with someone who is a particularly keen observer of daily life to highlight these elements even further. Seb Emina, today’s guest, is one such example. The writer and former editor of The Happy Reader joins the show to talk about moving from London to Paris, the essence of the Parisian experience, and how he feels about the city hosting the Olympic Games.    Mentioned in this episode: Seb Emina Seb’s Substack: Read Me   The Happy Reader The Gentlewoman Le Musée des Arts Forains  Five Radio Stations Audio production & editing: Matthew Jordan ⁠Music by Little Glass Men⁠

Here, with an assortment of other local experts, she takes a closer look at the people, places and ideas that are changing the fabric of the storied French capital.
