In recent years, critics and jaded diners have deemed the multi-course tasting menu dead. It's gotten repetitive, the argument goes, with chefs serving luxury courses like caviar at the expense of any point of view. But recently, our host Lilah Raptopoulos had a meal that felt extremely alive, at Victoria Blamey's restaurant Blanca, in Brooklyn. Victoria is from Chile and worked at Michelin-starred restaurants around the globe before becoming Blanca's executive chef. Today, she tells us what she's doing differently (“We want to slap someone's face, like hey, wake up!”) and why restaurants should take bigger risks. -------We love hearing from you. Lilah is on Instagram @lilahrap, and email at lilahrap@ft.com.

Today, we're sharing an episode from our friends at The Financial Times. If you've been to the wine shop lately you may have noticed a trend: wines marketed specifically toward younger drinkers. Many are natural, organic, or biodynamic. Others are made without special certification but boast backstories that focus on the producers, not just the region or grapes. Wine writer Hannah Crosbie joins host Lilah Raptopoulos to give us a primer on what young wine drinkers want. Why are pét nats, skin-contact wines, and chilled reds suddenly everywhere?Check out Life and Art from FT Weekend wherever you get your podcasts.

This episode is the Culture Study Podcast's version of a Just Trust Me. It's difficult to describe exactly WHY it's so good, just that after we finished recording (with Lilah Raptopoulos, host of the podcast Life and Art) Melody and I both immediately texted each other with: SO GOOD!!! The episode is ostensibly about figuring out how to cook in the world of infinite recipes, but it's also about how we pass down recipes (or gatekeep them), recipes as a form of memory making (and retrieval), recipes as heritage… capped off with some practical advice about how to organize the recipes you do have (and how to ascertain if a recipe is “good”). I can't wait for you to listen, and if you don't think you're a person that invested or interested in recipes: just trust me.

Can you recall the community-related news and trends of last summer? Let us refresh your memory. YouTube announced new guidelines for advertisers that inadvertently led to significant changes in revenue for many creators on its platform. Photobucket broke countless images across the web without notice. The city of Charlottesville, Virginia was descended upon by white supremacists during the violent, hateful, and deadly Unite the Right rally, yet Twitter still gave them (and still gives them) a place to convene and organize online. These topics were covered on Community Signal as they happened and this week’s episode is a gathering of unreleased clips from last summer. These were originally released to our Patreon supporters between July and September of 2017. If you’d like more behind the scenes clips and the chance to contribute potential questions and conversation topics to the show, please consider backing our show on Patreon. In this compilation, you’ll hear from Jonathan Bailey, Jessamyn West, Christina Shorter, Alessio Fattorini, Lilah Raptopoulos, Josh Millard, and Randy Farmer. These clips touch on the events mentioned above, the following topics, and more: Having a backup plan when you rely on third-party software Creating a culture of reciprocity in support communities The goldmine waiting for journalists in the comments section Our Podcast is Made Possible By… If you enjoy our show, please know that it’s only possible with the generous support of our sponsors: Higher Logic and Structure3C. Big Quotes “If you base any significant part of your business or your community on a third-party, you need to have … some means of how to replace them should they shift, should they change, should they pivot or just outright pull the rug out. [You should] be thinking about who you’re working with, who your hosts are, who your advertising partners are [and] then determine, ‘Well, if they go away tomorrow, what do I do? What’s my plan?'” -@plagiarismtoday “You can’t always rely on the technology but you can often rely on the people.” -@jessamyn “People are hard. … Code is easier than people, sometimes. It’s harder to deal with people. You have to be personal. You have to be there. Automation can help but it’s not enough. It’s hard to replace a good community manager or a good personal touch.” -@ale_fattorini “I didn’t really want to just encourage our journalists to jump into the comments just because the audience engagement team says they should just because that’s engagement, and whatever engagement means, you have to do it now. That’s not what our role is and that’s not useful for anyone. If someone told me that, I would think, ‘What’s in it for me? It doesn’t make any sense.’ I have been careful to angle it with what’s in it for them, which is how can it then improve your journalism or add some insights that might be of interest to you. What do your readers want to know? What are your readers not understanding in your stories? That’s all stuff you can get from the comments.” -@lilahrap “People don’t care about the feelings of white supremacists. … Like when GoFundMe bans them from their platform and they complain on Twitter, GoFundMe doesn’t respond, because why respond? Nobody cares if these people are unhappy. You drive them away to whatever platform that will take them at that time: Reddit, Gab, The Daily Stormer, whoever will take those people, that’s where you push them because they’ll always find each other and will exist but you don’t have to have them on your platform.” -@patrickokeefe Related Links Sponsor: Higher Logic, the community platform for community managers Sponsor: Structure3C, expert community strategy for large organizations Jessamyn West, librarian and former director of operations for Metafilter (Community Signal episode) Jonathan Bailey, copyright expert and voice behind Plagiarism Today (Community Signal episode) Christina Shorter, community manager for National Geographic (Community Signal episode) Alessio Fattorini, community manager for NethServer (Community Signal episode) Lilah Raptopoulos, community editor and comments advocate at the Financial Times(Community Signal episode) Josh Millard, owner and manager of Metafilter (Community Signal episode) Randy Farmer, co-creator of Habitat, often regarded as the first graphical virtual world (Community Signal episode) YouTube’s “advertiser-friendly” guidelines WhatCulture Wrestling, a wrestling promotion that saw a dip in revenue after YouTube changed its advertising policies In the Company of Givers and Takers by Adam Grant Unite the Right Descends on Charlottesville, Virginia How Photobucket broke images across the web, without notice to their users Patrick talks discusses the Photobucket debacle with Jessamyn West and Jonathan Bailey Spi.ne, a container hosting platform Transcript View transcript on our website Your Thoughts If you have any thoughts on this episode that you’d like to share, please leave me a comment, send me an email or a tweet.

How a Strict Paywall Affects Community at the Financial Times

Many online news media outlets, especially those that were borne out of print publications, have paywalls. You might be able to view a handful of articles, but you have to pay to keep reading. However, some paywalls are stricter than others. The Financial Times is strict. I was able to read one article, via a Twitter link, and then no more. How does having such a strict paywall affect on-site community building? Community manager and “comments advocate” Lilah Raptopoulos joins the show to talk about it. Plus: What having wealthier commenters does to the comments How the Financial Times identifies the value of on-site community efforts The thing Lilah would like to do next when she secures development resources for the FT comments Our Podcast is Made Possible By… If you enjoy our show, please know that it’s only possible with the generous support of our sponsor: Higher Logic. Big Quotes “[Having a strict paywall] means that we don’t really have a major troll problem. We don’t have a lot of comments that are spamming or going in to wreak havoc or distract people consciously. … That means that some of these issues that a lot of news organizations, with more open paywalls or no paywalls, have are things we don’t have to worry about. But it does mean that, yes, we have fewer comments, and it means that we have different issues that we’re facing around contentious topics than a news organization that doesn’t have such a high barrier to participate.” -@lilahrap “You [have] a commenter who has commented very thoughtfully on a number of topics, but about the European migration crisis, they leave a comment that could be considered Islamaphobic. It’s careful in its wording, but clearly prejudiced, or maybe a questionable interpretation of the facts. It gets a hundred likes. If you delete it as a moderator, you lose the opportunity for someone to respond and have a conversation happen that could actually build empathy and develop these opinions. I’ve seen it happen before in our comments. You delete the comment and the opportunity is gone. The person, and all those who agree with them, continue on unchallenged and convinced of media bias. But if you don’t delete it, and the conversation doesn’t happen, that comment thread could make a Muslim reader feel unwelcome on our pages, and not willing to participate, in a place where otherwise, if it felt more open to that point of view, might. I don’t want that either.” -@lilahrap “We have this robust community of commenters on-site. Even though a very small percentage of our readers comment, like most news sites, a surprising, shockingly large percentage of them read the comments. That’s important to us, because these people are our most loyal and engaged subscribers. We care about growing that community, because they’re in our sphere. They’re on our site, they’re having conversations based on our guidelines. It’s a space where they can interact with our journalists. We don’t want to lose them to off-site platforms, which are often thinking quite commercially about creating an experience that’s addictive.” -@lilahrap About Lilah Raptopoulos Lilah Raptopoulos is the community manager at the Financial Times, where she is responsible for reader comments and all other forms of on-site reader participation. Lilah has had a penchant for community journalism since college, where she developed a self-designed major called New Media Studies to explore how new technology has changed the way people interact with each other and their news. After two years in finance, she joined NYU’s Studio 20 masters program in journalism, where, under media critics Jay Rosen and Clay Shirky, she focused on how journalists can use their community of readers as a resource. Lilah worked at The Guardian on a number of community journalism stories and projects, including the British Journalism Award-winning Keep it in the Ground environmental campaign. In 2015, she reported from Greece on the human side of their financial crisis. She has been published in the FT, The Guardian, Public Radio International, Quartz, BuzzFeed News and Fusion.
