Transfert is a free French podcast for intermediate and advanced learners (B2–C2). Gripping real-life stories in natural French for advanced listeners.
Checked October 2026 on the official site ·
Transfert is Slate.fr's weekly true-story podcast: each episode, someone tells a personal story, from neighbour disputes to love and family, with archive re-runs in between. It is made for French audiences, with natural speech, emotion and everyday vocabulary, and has been running for more than ten years. It suits an advanced learner who wants gripping, real spoken French in long form. There are no transcripts in the feed and no learner support, so below B2 it is mostly noise.
