\r\nFriday is weekly: a digest of what the team has seen, read and listened to, and wants to share with you.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n
\u2018What would our lives be like if we did nothing to stop the climate crisis?\u2019 It is this question, a relevant one, all things considered, that the bubbly French humourist Swann P\u00e9riss\u00e9 is looking to provide an answer to with a new podcast, launched at the beginning of October, named Y<\/a> a plus de saisons (\u201cThere are no more seasons\u201d). You know, this set phrase which we love to come up with at the slightest opportunity. To do so, she has teamed up with Tilt<\/a>, a digital media which hosts articles, podcasts, comic strips and videos focusing on the major societal issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The concept could be summarized thusly: making the end of the world an amusing show. Except that it\u2019s a bit more complex than that\u2026 In front of a cardboard urban-bucolic set Swann invites an environmental expert onto the stage and interviews them for over an hour: \u2018are we all going to become vegetarians?\u2019, \u2018how does the GDP impact on our lives?\u2019, \u2018Will Netflix die out?\u2019 are just some of the questions asked by a presenter who has no qualms in describing herself as a \u2018militant humourist\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Owing to a decidedly nonchalant yet exquisite tone, punctuated with roaring laughter, a teasing playfulness and unfiltered ripostes, Swann has the art of making her guests feel totally at ease. In playing the mockery card, without for all that denying the ongoing urgency, these interviews literally bring to the stage major subjects whilst making them accessible. They help us understand the world we live in, whilst overturning certain supposed self-evident truths and preconceptions at the same time, and even manage to make concepts such as sobriety sexy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
