It's a radically transformed world, and culture call is back for season three.

I'm Lila Raptopoulos, and while my co-host, Griselda Murray Brown is on maternity leave,

I'm doing something slightly different. I'll be bringing you a special six-part series

on how this pandemic is changing our cultural rituals, our institutions, and even the work we create.

On this podcast, we interview brilliant creators who we really believe are shifting culture forward. But as you know, over the past

six months, culture hasn't just shifted. It's morphing into something entirely new. Right now,

we are living through quite a bit, a global pandemic, a civil rights movement,

a climate crisis, and a massive election here in the U.S.

We can't know how this story will end.

We're still in the middle of it.

But what we do know is that things that would have seemed impossible before are possible now.

Join me for a series of conversations with the creative icons who are shaping culture today.

I've invited them on to explore some pretty big questions, like how are they making sense of this

historic moment? What is it doing to their work? And how are they envisioning what's next?

You'll also hear from some of my brilliant colleagues, those are the journalists and critics behind the FTs award-winning life and arts journalism.

We are kicking off this season with the irreplicable artist and filmmaker Miranda July.

She has just released a feature film in a pandemic, and it's called Cagillionaire.

I mean, the funny thing is,

this movie is less weird in a way.

Totally.

Like the world got weird.

That first episode drops next week.
