Coming soon... 'You Could Make This Beautiful'
About this episode
This episode provides a sneak preview of a new series called 'You Could Make This Beautiful', co-hosted by Maggie Smith and Faith Salie, focusing on making life more beautiful through poetry and art.
We have something really special for you: a sneak preview of a new series we've been working on here at WBUR that we think you , in particular, will love. It's called You Could Make This Beautiful , and if that phrase sounds vaguely familiar, it's because it comes from the virally famous poem " Good Bones " by poet Maggie Smith . You Could Make This Beautiful is co-hosted by Maggie Smith and Faith Salie , whom you may know from NPR's Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! or CBS News Sunday Morning. The show is about making life more beautiful, but it's not about telling you how to do that; it's about showing you the way with poetry in all its forms — music, art, nature, you name it. The episodes feature poets, yes, but also actors like Henry Winkler, comedians like Mike Birbiglia, and teachers like Saeed Jones. We've made 3 episodes of You Could Make This Beautiful — so far, at least — and we'll be dropping all three of them right here in this feed, on August 7th. In the meantime, here's a little teaser, straight from Maggie and Faith. Enjoy, stay tuned, and you, too, could make this beautiful.
