About Our Podcast
Bravo, you've found it! A place of deadpan humor, sometimes witty and often bizarre.
Je Ne Sais Quoi tells absurd stories with a literary bent and a nod to art & culture. A Catcher-of-the-Wry sort of Vibe.
Recently, our work was awarded a Platinum Medal, as well as Gold from the "Sundance" of Audio Fiction: The National Audio Theatre Festivals.
Xavier Combe & Jim Hall make up the entire team. It's a Franco-American alliance formed in the 1970s when the two of them were doubles partners in tennis. Today, listening to JNSQ is by design, a lot like playing tennis without the net.
The French have a saying: "Humor is the last bulwark before despair" (strange, yes, but it sounds better in French). We believe humor is indeed the best medicine, and we prescribe you take a listen once a week. If you enjoy what you hear, feel free to share with, well, one or two million of your closest friends...
Au revoir, Amigos!
Je Ne Sais Quoi is based out of Paris
