  • Resumen

  • Paris is hosting the Summer Olympics and, aside from the athletic competitions, it allows the world to focus attention on the people and culture of Paris. There’s a history to this: The ancient Olympics featured artistic competitions, and the modern Olympics handed out medals to artists in multiple events: music, painting, sculpture, literature, and architecture. What draws us to the great international city of Paris, where athletes compete in the shadows of the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, and Versailles? We’ll put a spotlight on the City of Light to find out what makes Paris so special.


    Host: Andrew J. Falk

    Guests: Michelle Erhardt and Michael Mulryan
