I am an idiot

And I apologize to anyone who was expecting new episodes.  Mostly I apologize to my husband, who spent an awful lot of time setting this up and trying to teach me how to do it.

But I can't.  I can talk about anything except the films.  When I try to talk about the films, I seize up.  It's the worse case of stage fright I've ever had.  I feel like an idiot.

But I've spent two weeks trying to just record anything to get it down, and there's nothing about the films. 

So there's really no point carrying on.

I thank everyone who sent me nice emails and comments.  And I'm sorry I'm such an idiot.

Tune in next time, to see if Cinéfolle escapes from being crushed by the runaway podcast train, and manages to produce a second episode!

*yes, I know that cigales are not crickets, they're cicadas.  Yes, I know that laughter is weird.  Yes, I know Montand's character is called "Le Papet" (gramps, we'd probably say), but he really is Ugolin's uncle.  I've probably missed something....What can I say?  Podcasts are like a box of chocolates -- you never know what you're going to get inside...
