Looking for French Podcasts (Non-radio)

October 23, 2014 6:33 AM

Hello, I'm looking for some good French podcasts that aren't simply radio broadcasts, but are more conversational/comedy/interview in style. I'm thinking of podcasts like: Judge John Hodgeman, WTF, Filmspotting, Comedy Bang Bang, Savage Lovecast, Lexicon Valley, My Brother my brother and me. Does such a thing even exist in France? I'd appreciate some help if you know of anything!

It's radio, but good talk radio: Radio-Canada's Baladodiffusion page has a lot of content on different topics. The accent used by most Radio-Canada speakers is pretty standard; the word "baladodiffusion" is used in Quebec but not in France, where it's "le podcasting"! But you can search for both terms to find more possibilities.

You might find more casual, younger podcasters at Balado Quebec. I like Pod Problème.

une recherche superficielle ("podcasts sympas") donne cette liste. A explorer.

Et tu peux aussi essayer arte radio - contrairement à ce que le nom laisse entendre, il ne s'agit pas d'une radio - and its subsite, arte audioblogs. The first list I provided fits your query more precisely, but there's a lot of interesting stuff on the Arte websites.
