Channeling cultural theory, esoterica and the love of a good book this shows investigates what falls through the cracks of mainstream French culture. We are tracking the liminal spaces, the bizarre subcultures and the beautiful freak-outs from the mid-twentieth century to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What exactly is the French Weird? It is the territory where high philosophy meets the profoundly bizarre. In each episode, we trace the threads of a proudly rational nation simultaneously digesting global weirdness and exporting its own brand of the mysterious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">French Weird explores how France&#8217;s hidden eccentricities reveal the truths about its politics, literature, culture and &#8211; maybe even &#8211; identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subscribe, download, and join us. When the going gets weird, the pros turn French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"911\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/frenchweird.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Podcast-Cover-Website-911x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frenchweird.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Podcast-Cover-Website-911x1024.png 911w, https:\/\/frenchweird.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Podcast-Cover-Website-267x300.png 267w, https:\/\/frenchweird.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Podcast-Cover-Website-768x864.png 768w, https:\/\/frenchweird.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Podcast-Cover-Website.png 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 911px) 100vw, 911px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prefer Apple Podcasts?
