Episode Transcript
Hey, everyone, this is Jake Brennan from Disgrace Land. I
want to talk to you about a new podcast from
my Heart Radio called Icons Ever wonder how our most
iconic stars get to the top, What makes them tick,
what motivates them, when and where they realized they were
going to go for it, and what skills and inspiration
they applied to their hustle. Icons showcases some of the
(00:25):
most iconic musicians of all time, and you can hear
the first episode with the one and only Elton John
and myself discussing his new movie rocket Man and the
iconic songs and stories behind the making of the film.
Why rocket Man you could have had I'm so doning
you could have had the bitches back? Well, don't let
the song go down to me. I mean, there was
so many titles, but rocket Mount and I think it
(00:47):
is by far and away the best title. Elton John's songs,
like the Man himself, have a rich history. Listen to
find out how has music shaped the narrative to his
new film, a film that I believe is destined to
be as iconic as the man it is about. It's
not a biopic, It's a fantasy and a musical fantasy
on my life. But I'm loving every second of it
because he's honest and it's truthful. Or even though it's
(01:09):
a fantasy, it's truthful about me. I wouldn't be the
person I am today if I hadn't gone through that
and survived and then learned a different way of life.
Icons There's a lot in store for you and its
first season with a slate of iconic guests to be
interviewed and some of the most interesting voices in media
interviewing them. I've been influenced by stati different piano players.

When I first heard Little Richard, Julie Lewis, that was
a big turning point, and Ray Charles and Fats Domino,
they you know, the revolutionized piano playing. For me, that's

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.
