CHANEL Connects, the flagship arts and culture podcast, returns for Season 5.
Listeners are transported to La Pausa, Gabrielle Chanel’s "ideal Mediterranean villa" on the French Riviera. It was the only place entirely imagined and designed by the couturière. Set against this backdrop, Season 5 welcomes new guests and ideas, and explores the home as a nexus for creative encounters.
Presented by Yana Peel, President of Arts, Culture & Heritage, CHANEL Connects brings together artists and innovators shaping the now and defining the next.
Gabrielle Chanel hosted many of the leading visionaries of the 20th century—from Salvador Dalí to Jean Cocteau—at La Pausa, which became a site for artistic alchemy. Following a meticulous restoration, the villa reopened its doors for the Connects guests and their conversations.
The new season features changemakers across disciplines: Academy Award-winning actor Lupita Nyong’o, Emanuele Coccia – philosopher and professor, Francesca Hayward of The Royal Ballet, artist Allison Katz, performance art duo Gerard & Kelly, Lauren Collins – writer at The New Yorker, artist Matthew Lutz-Kinoy, Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco, and American artist Adam Pendleton.
5 is a significant number for CHANEL, so this season promises to be special. Episodes will be released weekly from July 16.

Life After Jazz Hands is a podcast that celebrates the many paths our lives can take, and the diverse stories and characters who are - or have been - drawn to the performing arts.
My name is Matthew Russell-Jones and 20 years ago I graduated from musical theatre college. Back then, I had ideas about how my life and career would look, what constituted success, and what I wanted from the decades ahead.
But I’ve since realised that our lives can take many unexpected twists and turns. And this got me thinking: what were my classmates & others I met along the way professinally? So now, I’m sitting down with them individually to hear about their stories and to understand where they are now, 20 years or so on.
From performers and directors to doctors and barbers, Life After Jazz Hands charts the diverse careers of a single graduating class across two decades. Along the way, it also explores the moments and experiences that shape us: loss, parenthood, relationships, ill health, and opportunities in the most surprising places. Join us as we navigate the highs, the lows, and the unexpected encores in the lives of those who once shared a stage.
