Podcast appearances and mentions of josh spero

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, Adam Green is joined by Josh Spero, Wealth Editor at the Financial Times, to discuss the rapidly evolving art lending market, now estimated to be worth around $40 billion. Despite being a relatively niche segment of the art market, art-backed loans have attracted attention from traditional banks, auction houses, and boutique firms. Josh explains the unexpected rise of margin calls in this sector, exploring what triggers them, how lenders are responding, and what it could mean for the broader art market. They also discuss how rising interest rates are impacting demand for art-backed loans and where the industry may be heading in the coming years.

Put on your laurel wreath. Today we're joining the gods and taking on Kaos, Netflix's new black comedy series that reimagines the Greek myths. The show follows Zeus (played by Jeff Goldblum) as he struggles to rule over Earth and The Underworld from a gaudy mansion on Mount Olympus. You'll recognize a lot: the Minotaur and Orpheus myths, the fates, the furies, Medusa in middle management and cameos from the likes of Eddie Izzard and Billie Piper. Why are the Greek myths so endlessly popular? What do we want out of our adaptations? And did this one live up? Lilah is joined by the FT's Josh Spero and Claire Bushey, who enthusiastically disagree with her, to discuss.-------We love hearing from you. Lilah is on Instagram @lilahrap.

Comedian Henning Wehn, the self-styled 'German Comedy Ambassador to the UK' sits down with FT journalist and occasional stand-up comedian Josh Spero to chat about comedy in the UK and Germany. The pair discuss why some UK humour would never go down well in Germany, why Germans are obsessed with a 1960s British comedy sketch called 'Dinner For One' and more.

This week, we talk about the Benin Bronzes, a group of sacred artefacts stolen by British colonisers from the west African Kingdom of Benin. Guest host Lulu Smyth speaks to Aanu Adeoye and Josh Spero, who have been reporting on the efforts to trace thousands of them. For years western museums, which hold the bulk of the Benin Bronzes, refused to collect and share inventory, meaning they could not be returned to Nigeria. Now, a new digital project is doing just that. Then, it's the first of our ‘boring topic' challenges. We talk to author Benjamin Lorr about supermarkets and their secret – and not-so-secret – ways to lure us in.—----Tell us your cultural prediction for 2022!

Aside from the wit and charm of the libretto and music, the one act farce for two singers and a silent actor, Il segreto di Susanna, is known for only one thing: the fact that its heroine smokes. So how did Wolf-Ferrari come to write this particular comedy in 1909? To put Il segreto di Susanna in context, we brought together Donald Macleod of BBC Radio 3, Josh Spero, author and art critic, and Dr Rosemary Elliot of the University of Glasgow. Il segreto di Susanna is at Opera Holland Park this summer in a Double Bill with Tchaikovsky's Iolanta from 22 July-3 August. Tickets are on sale now: http://bit.ly/2PRWoxR
