k&k episode 110 - the one where they celebrate the non-smoking laws... and stuff...
In episode 110 we wax poetic about the fabulous new non-smoking laws, revisit the topic of Sarkozy, his girlfriend and his son, then chat about ads on tv and television tax, visiting the doctor and the phenomenon of over-medication in france, the juice bar and a perplexing situation involving vous, tu and kisses, and an outing at the movies.

k&k episode 108 - the one where they learn a few manners... and stuff...
When in France, do as the French do - or everyone is going to laugh at you. In episode 108, we take a closer look at some of the more common rules of French social etiquette, and tell many an anecdote in the hopes that you guys are either a. able to learn something from it and not make the same mistakes as us, or b. entertained, or c. a little bit of both.
This episode was brought to you by the phrase "les bonnes manières" (good manners).
k&k episode 107 - the one where frog finds out if they've learned anything... and stuff...
It is our very special pleasure to welcome Frog with a Blog back into the coffee table studio for episode 107! In a very scary world première (punctuated by the singing of random French christmas carols and childrens songs), he takes the reins on the podcast and interrogates Katia and Kyliemac on how much they know about France and life in France.

k&k episode 102 - the one where they taste the candy... or are they lollies? or sweets? ... and stuff...
Because it was simply impossible to pry the microphones out of the hands of our honoured guests, we have one last Porgy episode for you all in episode 102. Kyliemac pulls out the "halloween candy" and turns the group of non-Americans in front of her into guinea pigs for a while, then we continue in the format of the last few episodes -what one listener so astutely called "orchestrated chaos"- with some topics such as berets, being on time and bachelors jam. Thankyou Kim, Tracey, Pierre, Rhino75, Frog with a Blog for being such great guests. You're welcome back any time. Especially because you all pay attention to Symphony and prevent her from walking all over the mixer.

k&k episode 101 - the one after 100... and stuff
The party continues in episode 101 (because none of our lovely guests - Kim, Tracey, Pierre, Rhino75, Frog with a Blog - wanted to let go of the microphones). We visit topics like graph paper, the eiffel tower, fizzy water and the new smoking laws. Oh, and do you want that special treat that we promised you? Thanks to the delicious FwaB, you can check out this video of the Episode 100 shenanigans.

k&k episode 100 - the one where they pretend to let everyone else do the talking... and stuff...
Dear listeners, hold onto your headphones, because we have officially reached episode 100!!! It is our very great pleasure to have a number of fabulous guests in the coffee table studio to help us celebrate this milestone - Kim , Tracey, Pierre, Rhino75, Frog with a Blog - and despite the resulting chaos with a crazy mix of accents and all sorts of juicy topics like toilets, geese and body hair on the agenda, we do manage to pull it all off in true K&K style.
The Muffin Man took some photographic evidence, and in a couple of days we'll give you all an extra special little additional treat, so make sure you come back and check ;)
But most importantly, we want to thank everyone - all the listeners and everyone who has helped us out - for making this show as much fun as it is. So, how about 100 more? (Show links)
