How good is your French accent?

No we don't. To be frank, podcasts are not a (big) thing here.

I love how Quebecois are always inventing these funny french words, always put a smile on my face.

I got to talk to my friends about 'baladodiffusions' but I'm not sure that they all know what a podcast is so I doubt they will appreciate this new word to its full extent.

Wait, what? No Podcasting in France? Go start a Podcast ;)

According to Google there are French podcasts, and they are very popular ! I found an article from 2012 that said there was 20 millions podcasts downloads in France every month (we're a bit less than 70 millions French).

I had no idea since nobody I know ever mentioned podcasts to me. Maybe they're all Luddites or they hide their podcast addiction well ;-) Me I exclusively listen to audio books (and I can recommend wholeheartedly the ones from Graphic Audio).
