Episode Transcript
This is Bisiography, the show where we dive into the
strange but true stories of iconic companies. Whether they're a current,
shining start in the midst of a massive dumpster fire,
or settling into the dust heap of history, they all
have a past worth knowing. I'm Dana Verett. I'm a
former tech executive and entrepreneur and a TV and radio host,
and over the course of my career, I've interviewed thousands
(00:23):
of business leaders and reported on the bright beginnings and
massive claymouths of the brands we know and love. Some
of their stories are inspiring, some get my blood boiling,
and some just show how weird American consumers truly are.
Each week on Phisiography, you'll hear about all your favorite
companies from PBR, they were doing nothing in sales except
(00:45):
weirdly enough in Portland, Oregon to Tinder. The idea of
just swiping quickly through and doing it on your mobile
phone while you're waiting in line at the grocery store
is a whole different thing. Two Sears. You know. With Sears,
what he saw was the ability of the railroads to
get things to people who didn't have access to them otherwise.
There weren't cars, there weren't malls. There were people who
(01:07):
lived in rural areas who needed stuff. From your sock
drawer to your mom's photo album. Icons are everywhere, and
we've got their stories. Listen and subscribe at Apple Podcasts
or on the I Heart Radio app, or wherever you
listen to podcasts.

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.
