3Mortel
Nouvelles Écoutes produces excellent French podcasts. Another one you might like is called “Mortel”, and is hosted by Taous Merakchi (alias Jack Parker). Be careful, this podcast is about death and everything that surrounds death, so you’d better be in the right state of mind if you listen to it. But it’s different from everything you might hear nowadays.
