About Les contes à rendre
Plusieurs façons de nommer ces mots qui s'entremêlent clairement à la fois clockwise et counterclockwise. Each week, Marc-André Lavoie voyage without limites dans la forme what-so-ever. L'évènement rassembleur réunit plusieurs animateurs et leurs invités autour d'une même table, dans les studios parés de micros. On y partage toute l'information au sujet de ce qui se trame et se slame dans le monde des laissés pour contes à Montréal and around the "word".
