Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey, everyone, we want to tell you about our new podcast,
Daniel and Kelly's Extraordinary Universe. Hi.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm Daniel. I'm a particle physicist, and I think our
universe is absolutely extraordinary. I work Ancern, smashing particles together
to try to figure out how it all works, from
particles to black holes, and to try to unravel some
of the big mysteries like dark matter and dark energy. Hello.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
I'm Kelly Wienersmith. I have trouble explaining to my parents
what it is that I do exactly, but at various
times it's involved jumping into dump trucks full of dead
fish under a summer sun, long debates over international space law,
co discovering a parasitoid wasp that emerges through its hosts
head which is totally mental, and writing science trivia cards

(00:45):
and well other stuff too. Also with a last name
like Wienersmith, I have a lot of practice laughing at
myself and the general absurdity of life.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Well, you forgot to say that you're also the upcoming
president of the American Society of Parasitologists, A Hugo Award
winner and a two time New York Times bestselling author.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Kelly Well you forgot, Daniel that you're a Fulbright Fellow,
Sloan Fellow, American Physical Society Fellow, and a Webby Award
winner and a Daytime Any nominee for your science show
on PBS.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
All right, Well, basically, we're both nerds. We love learning
about this extraordinary universe, and we love sharing what we've learned.
So that's what we're going to do.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Our new podcast, Daniel and Kelly's Extraordinary Universe, is all
about the mind blowing discoveries we've made about this crazy,
beautiful cosmos, from the tiniest particles to the biggest blue whales.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's also about all of the extraordinary things we have
yet to discover, the size of the universe, the true
nature of space and time, the existence of extraterrestrials, and
whether there's dark matter floating around Uranus.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Was that a joke? I don't know. I love it.
Each Tuesday and Thursday, we take an hour long dive
into some science topic, during which time I try to
suppress by biologists training and keep the poop jokes to
a minimum.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
So find out what qualifies as minimum poop jokes to
a biologist and a dark matter physicist and learn all
about our amazing and beautiful universe on Daniel N. Kelly's
Extraordinary Universe every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
