Hello everyone! Welcome to The Sound Kitchen weekly podcast, published every Saturday – here on our website, or wherever you get your podcasts. You’ll hear the winners' names announced and the week’s quiz question, along with all the other ingredients you’ve grown accustomed to: your letters and essays, “On This Day”, quirky facts and news, interviews, and great music … so be sure and listen every week. It's time to think about your New Year’s Resolutions and get them in to The Sound Kitchen! You can hear all about your fellow listeners good intentions for 2021 on 2 January, so don’t delay! Send your New Year’s Resolutions to me at thesoundkitchen@rfi.fr During the French lockdown to fight the Coronavirus last spring, we were constrained to stop broadcasting Paris Live, our afternoon news broadcast. In the meanwhile, we are focusing on our digital presence, and making our website the best! You can read breaking news articles on our site, as well as in-depth analysis of current affairs, both in France and across the globe. We are also developing new and exciting podcasts for you. Laura Angela Bagnetto’s Africa Calling has just made its debut, and more are on the way! We already have several very good podcasts which you can listen to right now: there is the weekly World Music Matters, The Sound Kitchen, and the bi-weekly Spotlight on France. We have a new bilingual series if you would like to learn French – it’s called Les voisins du 12 bis.  And there is the excellent International Report, too. As you see, sound is still quite present from the RFI English service!  Keep che
