In the most free-flowing conversation in the entire run of this podcast, host Haig Balian speaks with Charles Pellegrin (1:50), China correspondent for France 24/stand-up comedian.

We get answers to all the big questions, like why do French pharmacists love suppositories?

And what did Belgium ever do to Charles to become the, um, butt of his jokes?

The conversation gets serious when I ask Charles about the WHO's upcoming decision on China's Sinopharm vaccine.

If you haven't listened in in a while, this is a great episode to ease you back in.
