Episode #48: Lilah Raptopoulos, Financial Times Reporter & FT Weekend Podcast Host

In Episode #48, Hanna Lee and Michael Anstendig of Hanna Lee Communications chat with Lilah Raptopoulos, host of the FT Weekend Podcast, which brings the Financial Times’ life & arts coverage to audio. ⁣

 ⁣

The podcast explores today’s culture, big ideas, nuanced questions and how to live a good life, and features Financial Times journalists and special guests. ⁣

 ⁣

Lilah is also the U.S. Head of Audience Engagement for the Financial Times and writes U.S. culture stories.⁣

 ⁣

Lend an ear to this thoughtful and worldly journalist who shares her thoughts on:⁣

 ⁣

1. How the business and economic affairs-focused Financial Times is London-based, yet reaches a global audience through about 700 journalists in 40 countries.⁣

 ⁣

2. How FT Weekend revels in long-form storytelling about arts, culture, luxury, food, travel and restaurants, and how the print edition often drives podcast episodes.⁣

 ⁣

3. Why she always looks at the big picture and how what interests her always fits into a broader story, or question or trend that impacts listeners and readers around the world.⁣

 ⁣

4. How her FT Weekend Podcast episodes always take listeners on a trip, teach them something new, make them think and consider how they lived their lives.⁣

 ⁣

5. Why she thinks industry notables, like Alice Waters, Shannon Mustipher, the Migrant Kitchen team and Overthrow Hospitality’s Ravi DeRossi, are moving hospitality forward. ⁣
