With our in-person events unable to continue, we want to make sure you have access to free cultural events from the comfort of your own homes. We recently asked you what you wanted to see from us during the pandemic, and a few of you asked for more podcasts.

After scouring our podcast archives, we've selected four inspiring, informative, and stimulating podcasts for you, along with a special bonus podcast that was recorded at Reid Hall back in February. 

From Ghada Hatem-Gantzer on her women's hospital La Maison des femmes to La Poudre's Lauren Bastide talking about feminism in contemporary France with Maboula Soumahoro, Élise Thiébaut, and Aurore Koechlin, we hope these podcasts are able to provide you with solace during this strange time.

The language of each podcast is indicated in each description.
