Hi news briefing listeners I'm here to tell you about a new show from the Financial Times called Life and Art from F.T Weekend

It's a culture podcast and it's hosted by me Lila Raptopoulos

Life and Art is twice a week.

It's Mondays and Fridays.

On Mondays I have a guest on to talk about life

and how to live a good one.

So that could be anything from winter travel

to cooking to living more creatively.

This upcoming Monday we have our gardening columnist of 53 years on Robin Lane Fox talking about

gardening as it gets cold.

And on Fridays we talk art. It's a chat show. Two F.T. journalists and I come on together to discuss a piece of culture that's in the air.

That could be new music, like Dolly Parton's new album. It could be movies, it could be TV shows.

And so we're dropping an episode of that on your feed now.

It's a conversation about Nathan Fielder's new TV show The Curse, it's very uncomfortable, very cringy, and also about how TV comedies have changed

and gotten a lot less fun. If you like the show you can follow us by searching life and

art wherever you listen.

Thanks, enjoy.

Welcome to Life and Art from FT Weekend.

This is our Friday chat show.

I'm Lila Raptopolis. Today we're talking about The Curse, a new drama

series from Benny Safi and Nathan Fielder which dropped on Paramount Plus Today and

drops tomorrow in the UK.
