k&k episode 185 - the one where they cure headaches but not katia's toe... and stuff...
In episode 185 we're getting really excited about the contest submissions for the upcoming episode 200, and we reveal a super-special entry that we are particularly excited about. We talk about how listening to k&k cures headaches, but it apparently doesn't seem to be helping Katia's sore toe, and we talk for a bit about charming French men, the power of accents and French Emergency Rooms.
This episode was brought to you by the word "les urgences" (the Emergency Room).
k&k episode 178 - the one where they relish the verbal love... and stuff...
We're all about the verbal love in episode 178, as we review a few voicemails and emails we've received from listeners over the last couple of weeks (and get distracted by stories, but what's new?). Kyliemac gives us a university update, and Katia talks about some of her mum's adventures learning French. And you can leave us a voicemail too!

k&k episode 176 - the one where they talk about packages and the pope... and stuff...
Episode 176 contains an adorably hilarious voicemail from one of our favourite listeners (who left us this voicemail most facetiously one evening and seriously, what does he expect, of COURSE we're going to play it!!) and a record time is spent discovering what's inside various packages we've recently received from some other fantastic listeners. Kylie gives us a university update and we talk about Mamma Mia (the Movie), then Kylie asks if anyone else has seen the Flash Gordon movie and Katia launches an impromptu competition about whether you guys can guess who her most detested actor is, and we reveal whether the pope's visit interrupted our Friday Night Drinks or not.
This episode was brought to you by the word "le pape" (the pope).
k&k episode 162 - the one where they learn about ferries, fairies and katia's fetishes... and stuff...
In episode 162 we're thrilled to introduce the famous Phil, who is travelling in Europe with his little family. Not even 12 hours before we head over to the UK on a k&k roadtrip, we talk about meeting listeners, then Phil tells us all about his musical theatre adventures, Kylie tells us about going to Disney and tasting chocolate, then we chat abut magic pens and finally get around to talking about "k&k on the road (summer 2008)", and all the shenanigans we've got planned over the next few weeks.

k&k episode 160 - the one where they try to actually get to every topic on their list and therefore talk really really really fast... and stuff...
Who said we need guests to wreak havoc in the Coffee Table Studio? We're perfectly capable of doing that by ourselves, and we're pleased to bring pure k&k mahem to you in episode 160. We chat about tasting champagne, museum visits, the sncf and beavers, surprise boxes from listeners, mexican adventures, Temptation Island, the Tour de France, Magic Pens and Paris Plage.

k&k episode 156 - the one where they break into song more often than not... and stuff...
As is usual when Frog with a Blog is in the Coffee Table Studio with us, chaos reigns. In episode 156, we talk about everything from superpowers (Kylie has discovered that she has a new one! what ever could it be?), WITWATAP, how to exclaim "ye-haw", Bastille Day and the meaning of national holidays in different countries, mystery boxes and m&ms, Mamma Mia, postcards and high school photos.

What an show we have in store for you for episode 144! Complete and utter chaos reigns supreme as Frog with a Blog joins us again in the coffee table studio, as we celebrate anniversaries and open up some presents sent to us by The Queen Mum and some lovely listeners - you'll hear all about Kyliemac's crimped hair marching band days, karaoke on Myspace, m&ms from all over the United States and Walker Texas Ranger! We then chat about mojitos and fajitas, the nuit des musées, good and bad museums, then Katia tells about the rest of her adventures with her international visitors, and then she tells everyone what she discovered in her La Redoute catalogue.

We've got biscuits on the brain in episode 142, and regale you with stories of Kolenda slamming Tim Tams across the world (and he did it!), froggy dinners (with more Tim Tam slams!), Thai kings and kitschy port.

We're thrilled to welcome the delightfully English Rhino75 to the Coffee Table Studio for episode 140. We cover topics such as Gay Karaoke, the advantages of watching Nouvelle Star, musicals, cool listeners, dreams featuring k&k and birthday months (and we get interrupted by a hyperactive Symphony about 300 times). Rhino tells us a bit about how he found himself in France and how he learned French, then we take a slight detour and talk about Grange Hill, prefects and uniforms, then Katia shares some of her boarding school adventures and Kylie tells us all about what she did in the marching band.

k&k episode 138 - the one brought to you by the letter M... and stuff...
We're thrilled to have yet more new guests in the Coffee Table Studio this week - this time around it's Axel and Michelle in episode 138! We have a host of interesting topics in today's episode, such as mojito making, mint crisp m&ms, meeting listeners, world travel and American geography lessons. Michelle tells us a little about how she found herself in France, then Axel talks about being a Frenchman in the US and about his experiences in the American university system, which turns into a debate about the respective merits of the different schooling systems around the world and whether higher education actually prepares you for the real world, and then we chat about the weird and wonderful concept of school rings, varsities, pep rallies and high school rivalries.

k&k episode 136 - the one where they reminisce about childhood memories... and stuff...
We're pleased to welcome Kathryn to the Coffee Table Studio this week, and she fits in extremely well with her Made For Radio Voice, and her ability to totally nerd it out with us in episode 136. We get distracted by talk about birthday celebrations, Hoops & Yoyo, Whore Houses in Texas, Girl Scout Cookies & Dr Pepper, the Babysitters Club, Scouts and Guides, then we ask Kathryn about how she's adjusting to the move to France and some of her experiences in Paris so far (quarter-life crises, studying in France), before derailing again on accents, a WITWATAP update, then contemplations about bears and sharks.

k&k episode 128 - the one where they consider peep pictures and crazy hats... and stuff...
We've been inundated with pictures of peeps this week, and you can hear all about it on episode 128. We do some shout-outs to a few internet friends, talk about magic pens, listen to some comments from listeners and have a bit of a chat about name days, bréton hats, post offices, easter bells and bilbies, then round it all off with a nouvelle star update and a WITWITAP moment (Where In The World Are Tracey And Pierre?).

k&k episode 124 - the one where the peeps take over the podcast... and stuff.
Frog with a Blog is back in the coffee table studio for episode 124, and it's surely not a coincidence that we're taste-testing some goodies that a fabulous listener sent to us and that the Muffin Man brought back from Sweden. In between mouthfuls of munchies, we talk about the phenomenon that is PUI, discuss what Katia and Frog are going to sing for their duet, then chat about oral fixations and snooz, Nouvelle Star, donations, phone numbers and roo pooh.
This episode was brought to you by the word "disséqué" (desiccated).
k&k episode 123 - the one where they do it for the listeners... and stuff...
Despite the fact that we're doing it on two hours sleep and a considerable amount of caffeine, we're pleased to bring you super-episode 123. It's a bit longer than usual, to make up for the fact we only have the time to record and put out one episode this week, with Kyliemac gallavanting around England! We talk about our adventures surrounding the Petite Anglaise launch party (make sure you check the show notes to see the photos), then we get distracted by a discussion about different churches, cathedrals, museums and scary monuments in France. We also talk about haircuts and Nouvelle Star (again), then Katia introduces Kyliemac to some Australian lollies (with interesting consequences).
This episode was brought to you by the phrase "une fringe" (a fringe/bangs).
k&k episode 122 - the one where they discuss singing in English... and stuff...

This episode was brought to you by the phrase "un gros mot" (a swear word).
k&k episode 120 - the one where they get upset about congealed cheese... and stuff...
After a chat about some very exciting listener feedback (and a gossip session about Frog with a Blog's recent television appearance), we get into lots of interesting topics in episode 120 : magic pens, colleagues, university updates, holiday projects, croque monsieurs & madames, hotdogs, elbow oil, museum visits and BO in clubs. Classy.
