Une volonté de rendre l’Homme immortel ? Une idéologie dangereuse ? Un peu des trois. Mais il s’agit surtout d’un mouvement intellectuel et culturel né dans les années 80 en Californie qui a pris aujourd’hui beaucoup d’importance. De Google à Apple, les plus grandes entreprises investissent des milliards pour créer une meilleure version de l’Homme, une version qui pourra vivre plus longtemps et avec de meilleures capacités. Mais est-il raisonnable de croire que la technologie pourra résoudre tous nos problèmes ? C’est ce que nous verrons dans ce nouvel épisode !  Vous pouvez trouver la transcription ici.

Les critiques affirment que la cuisine française est démodée et que les étrangers préfèrent sa cousine italienne. Pourtant, c’est en France qu’est né « l’art de bien manger et de bien boire » : la gastronomie. Alors est-ce que la cuisine française a encore son mot à dire ? C’est ce que nous verrons dans ce nouvel épisode. Ce podcast s’adresse aux personnes qui apprennent le français et qui veulent améliorer leur compréhension de la langue.  Vous pouvez trouver la transcription ici : https://www.innerfrench.com/podcasts NB : vous pouvez retrouver l’interview (en vidéo sous-titrée) du chef Guy Martin diffusée à la fin du podcast ici : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUFa7KvyHGc
