Summary

Gris and Lilah here, coming to you between episodes to find out how you're holding up. As we live through this surreal pandemic together (and apart), we want to know what's going through your mind. What are you noticing around you? How have you seen culture already begin to adapt to this new reality? And what have you been watching, reading, listening to, crafting, cooking, etc to get through? This is our Culture Call Out. We want to hear from you.

Let's put our observations, epiphanies and cultural recommendations together to try to get through this time. Send your voice memos to us at [email protected] by Monday, and we'll put a bunch in our next episode.

Here's how to send a voice memo: open the voice notes app on your phone, talk right into the mic, and email the file to [email protected]. If you're more comfortable in writing, feel free to email us the old fashioned way.

And if you want to connect online, you can find us on Twitter at @ftculturecall and on Instagram at @griseldamurraybrown and @lilahrap.

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

0:00.0	Hello, everyone. It is Lila and Gris here, and this is Culture Call from the Financial Times.
0:17.1	We're living in strange and stressful times, and we hope that you're feeling okay, wherever you're
0:22.1	listening from. But it is normal to be finding all of this quite weird and difficult. We definitely are.
0:27.1	Yep. So we'll be bringing you a full episode as usual next week, but for now we just wanted to
0:32.8	turn the microphone around and to ask you the questions. We want to know specifically what role culture has played in this time for you.
0:40.8	We want to know what you're noticing around you. How are you seeing culture already change? And what are the ways that you anticipate them changing over the next couple of weeks and months?
0:49.6	Yeah, and also whose work are you turning to? What have you been watching and what have you been reading and listening to? And also cooking and just doing at home since you've been there. We will be
0:59.0	collecting a ton of your voice memos and emails to put in the next episode. And we just wanted
1:03.7	to give you a couple of examples of the things that we would submit if we had to send an audio
1:08.8	note. So, Grizz, these are the things that have been on my mind.
1:12.1	Okay.
1:15.8	One, I have been extremely moved by how quickly people have adapted to socializing online.
1:20.9	Yes.
1:21.4	Isn't it crazy?
1:22.0	My friends are getting together for virtual happy hours.
1:25.3	To a degree that I can barely keep up with, frankly.
1:29.6	Also, exclusive content is being democratized, it feels.
1:33.6	Like, even live fitness classes from instructors stuck at home are available on Instagram
1:38.3	live for free.
1:40.1	Also, the funny combinations of celebrities, I'm noticing, like, the other day I saw Jay Balvin and Cardi B
1:47.1	hanging out and eating tomatoes together.
