Patsi in conversation with Blake, who lived a complex life before settling in Nice. Born in Vancouver, Blake shares his unusual heritage and early years marked by frequent moves between France and Canada. He recounts his troubled youth including stints in juvenile and adult prison, and his eventual transformation through sports and meditation. He discusses his success in real estate ventures, as well as his decision to make Nice his permanent home with his two children, brought up with the support of his ex wife. Passionate about the Riviera capital, Blake highlights the beauty of Nice and the cultural, societal and historical richness that has brought him to peace. This episode contains references to violence, substance abuse and suicide which might be upsetting to some listeners.

Patsi meets up with Emma Orr, entrepreneur from northern England who runs a flourishing boucherie in the vibrant, welcoming town of Antibes. Emma's traditional farm upbringing and her imaginative recipes have resulted in high demand for her hand crafted sausages, pies and other butchery produce. Her clients range from regular shoppers to neighbourhood bars and restaurants, and the superyachts of the Riviera. Here Emma chats with Patsi about her personal journey to the blue coast, and how she has made an unlikely success of an English styled food business in France.

On another sunny musical afternoon in Nice, Patsi catches up with David Zincke, frontman of much loved band The Sons of Guns. The boys are a fixture of iconic Old Town bar, Wayne's. Here David reflects on the recent experience of performing in a larger ticketed venue, and the challenges of producing original music versus covers. He discusses his influences - from his all-time heroes The Beatles - to the Anglo-Indian heritage that introduced Cliff Richard to his life. David also talks vintage guitars, and finding happiness in songwriting rather than fame seeking. Bonus episode following on from earlier podcast with David and fellow band member, drummer Scott Richman.
