This week we’re honored to have Daniel Quintanilla and Jessamine Irwin on our show. They are the filmmakers behind Le Carrefour (The Intersection). Jesse will talk to them about them about what inspired them to create this film and their backgrounds. If you listen to this show you’ll want to see this important documentary.  

Here’s the film’s description, “Cécile reconnects with the French of her childhood thanks to recently arrived Franco-African immigrants, like Tresor, seeking asylum in Cécile’s hometown of Lewiston, Maine. Cecile’s Franco roots tie her to the thousands of French-Canadians who came before her to power the local mills, and who suffered from decades of discrimination and oppression. As history repeats itself, Cécile and Trésor develop a close friendship that helps Cécile finally find her pride in being Franco-American.”

Episode 96 - Stéphanie Plante for Rideau-Vanier

Jesse was excited to be interviewed by Radio Canada, in French, so for anyone who might be joining us from Québec for the first time, we wanted to re-release the first episode we every recorded in French. Click below to listen to Jesse's interview and to learn about this interview with Jean-Philippe L'Etoile.

Interview with Radio-Canada - https://ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/balados/33/le-radiojournal/669515/radiojournal-du-21-novembre-8-h-00

We have discussed Jesse’s attempts to learn French many times on the podcast. However, for the first time ever, Jesse attempts to have an entire episode in French. Joining him is his friend Jean-Philippe L’Étoile, who he met through the podcast. As a warning, there will be many errors in grammar and vocabulary. Also, since Mike doesn’t speak French, things that would normally have been edited out have not been. But we did our best, and we think it is important to try to speak the language that is so important to us.

Episode 18 - Jason Newton Interview

We've been recording for a year and wanted to do something a little different. This week you'll get to know the hosts more when Tonya Shevenell interviews Jesse, Mike and Jesse's Sister Monique and then Jesse sits down with his parents to ask them popular questions he's asked guests in the past. We want to thank each and every person who's listened to the show. It means so much that it connects with so many people. We hope to continue telling these stories for many years!!
