Ready for a fresh splash of Frenchness?

Summer is coming in hot in LA in more ways than one, and that can feel a bit suffocating these days.

So why not take a break from the heat with a hot take for a minute?

This episode dares to praise French summer over LA vibes.

YES, Los Angeles, California, is the capital of good vibrations and surfin' USA.

But France has a lot to bring to the table when it comes to Summer livin', and this goes beyond the gift of Rosé all day.

To convince you, this episode features two very different guests :

LA-based Director Christian Klein, who just returned from his European escapade, and Pascale Bernadberoy, a French transplant who has been living in LA for 20 years and still can't resist the calling of French summer.

So if you are feeling up to some distraction, let's head to France, the beach, and the sweet feeling of la Dolce Vita à la French for a minute 🎧

In this episode, Holly and Ashley take us back to January 7, 2025. The day that saw the infernal wildfires of Los Angeles ignite.

The Eaton fire turned out to be the 5th deadliest and second most destructive wildfire in the history of California.

But for Holly and Ashley, that fire is more than a record-breaking catastrophe. It's the cause of the loss of their home.

Today we are meeting with Holly and Ashley who are going to tell us everything about Altadena, its atmosphere, people, wildlife and way of life.

This is the story of how a girl from Texas and a guy from North Carolina came to LA over a decade ago. The tale of them chasing their dream and finally feeling home. How they met and built amazing friendships, individually and together.

It's also just the beginning of the story. That will continue in the next two episodes...

But for now, just sit back, relax, and come with us to the beautiful Altadena...
