The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) is an independent pan-European think-tank, which was founded in 2007 to conduct research and promote informed debate across Europe on the development of a coherent and effective European values-based foreign policy. The ECFR’s podcasts - which are available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish - cover current European issues, particularly questions on the European Union, and Europe’s place in the wider world, especially with regard to China, the Middle East and Africa, and Russia.
This free iTunes podcast is presented by Camille Chevalier-Karfis who, in each podcast, reads a French poem twice: once slowly, so that the listener can repeat the lines, and then at a more natural reading pace. She also speaks about the life of the poet, the poem’s language and vocabulary and analyses the text in clear, everyday French. The full text of the poems, as well as much more material - including audiobooks and language lessons - is available to paying subscribers on Chevalier-Karfis’s French Today website, which also includes a blog about French culture, travel, language, humour and cuisine.
The Maison Française D’Oxford is a research centre associated with the University of Oxford and specialising in the humanities and social sciences. The website offers over 450 podcasts, some of which are in French and some in English, which take the form of lectures, discussions, conferences and interviews, covering literature, politics, philosophy, history, languages and the problems of translation, amongst other subjects. The podcasts can be downloaded or streamed and are free to listen to.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has recently celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, and its site showcases radio and TV clips from its long history. The clips are organised both thematically and by decade and require Windows MediaPlayer. One can also take a virtual tour of the archive, which also contains much ancillary material which serves to put the large amount of data in context. Highlights include footage of De Gaulle’s inflammatory ‘Vive le Québec libre!' speech, Expo 67, coverage of the 1952 Coronation and this interview with Neil Young from 1969 in which he discusses his reasons for leaving the Buffalo Springfield.
