Listening to this while eating lunch in the workplace? Fais attention (be careful!) because if you're in France, that's illegal. In this episode, Dean and Tom get to work contrasting how countries from France to Japan to the US value, and even legislate, work-life balance - and, bien sûr (of course!), how it's all grounded in culture. Plus, a Grammar Time segment somehow sneaks up on all of us...est-ce possible? (Here are the referenced NPR articles on the French lunch law and the Portuguese 'right to disconnect' law, from June 2022.) Have a cultural question or episode idea for Dean and Tom?
