E196 En France, le nucléaire à tout prix ?
La France est l'un des pays au monde produisant le plus d'électricité grâce aux centrales nucléaires. Cela découle d'une volonté historique d'indépendance énergétique, l'Hexagone ne disposant pas de ressources fossiles tels que le gaz et le charbon. Si pendant quelques années, les gouvernements successifs ont commencé à ralentir la production, sous pression des mouvements écologistes et par peur des accidents possibles, aujourd'hui la production repart de plus bel ! Pourquoi ? Dans cet épisode, Hugo et Ingrid reviennent sur l'Histoire du nucléaire civil en France et sur les débats qui existent dans le pays autour de cette question.

E195 L'égalité en France, une illusion ?
La France se présente souvent comme un pays d'égalité. La Révolution de 1789 a aboli les privilèges, la devise nationale est "Liberté, égalité, fraternité", et l'école publique est gratuite pour tous. Sur le papier, tout le monde a sa chance. Dans cet épisode, Ingrid s'intéresse à ce que cachent ces beaux principes. En partant du livre de la philosophe Alice de Rochechouart, Privilèges. Ce qu'il nous reste à abolir, elle explore comment la bourgeoisie est sortie gagnante de la Révolution — et comment, depuis, une nouvelle classe dominante a su se maintenir au sommet. Au programme : un retour sur l'Ancien Régime et la nuit du 4 août 1789, puis un regard sur ce que les chiffres nous disent aujourd'hui de la méritocratie à la française, et enfin une réflexion sur les mécanismes — politiques et médiatiques — qui permettent à ce système de se perpétuer.

E194 Élections 2026 : qui dirige les villes françaises ?
Les élections municipales viennent de se terminer. Premier tour le 15 mars, second tour le 22 mars. Partout en France, les habitants ont choisi les personnes qui vont diriger leurs villes pour les six prochaines années. Ces élections, c'est souvent difficile à suivre : il y a beaucoup de villes, beaucoup de partis, beaucoup de stratégies d'alliances entre les deux tours. Et en plus, les médias ont tendance à s'en servir pour parler surtout des présidentielles de 2027. Alors aujourd'hui, Hugo et Ingrid font le point plus calmement. Dans une première partie, ils vous expliquent les bases : comment fonctionnent les élections municipales, qui peut voter, comment les maires sont élus. Ensuite, ils analysent les grandes dynamiques politiques de ce scrutin : la résistance des partis traditionnels, la montée de la France insoumise, la consolidation du Rassemblement national. Et pour finir, ils vous racontent comment ils ont vécu ces élections depuis Toulouse et Marseille — deux villes qui illustrent bien les différentes configurations qui ont pu se jouer ce printemps.
