FT Life Longer
 Aug 6, 2022
I listen to this as a bad habit, sometimes they have excellent guests. Basically it's a woke "Carrie Bradshaw" from New York talking about culture from an American centric perspective with occasional FT heavy hitting guests to prop it up.

Description

Life and Art from FT Weekend is the twice-weekly culture podcast of the Financial Times. On Monday, we talk about life, and how to live a good one in one-on-one conversations. On Friday, we talk about ‘art’ – in a chat show. Three FT journalists come together to discuss a new cultural release across film, TV, music and books. Hosted by Lilah Raptopoulos, together with the FT’s award-winning writers and editors, and special guests.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
