Speaker 1 (00:00):
To me, data isn't just numbers. Data is also words.
We struck a relationship with Twitter to be actually the
first one to anonymously connect tweets to purchasers. What I
learned is that there are words that people use in
social media that can tell you whether or not they're

(00:20):
going to go to a film six months for that
film comes out. It is astonishing. Every cultural phenomenon comes
down to two things, Math and Magic. I'm Bob Pittman,
chairman and CEO of I Heart Media, and one of
the things I've always loved is trying to decode how
big ideas find their way into the world. My new show,

(00:40):
Math and Magic is about those stories. It's about the
stories from the frontiers of marketing. Each show, I sit
down with visionaries to hear how they've used data and
creativity to bring incredible ideas to life. It was just
pure desperation. So I come in to the programming meeting
and I said, I've got an idea. I was fearful

(01:01):
that creative executives would see me walk down the hall
and run and hide, because like, there's the data nerd.
Every label was saying no to me. They're like, Scooter,
your grade at marketing, but like it's a YouTube kid.
Let's say, guys, there's a sleeping giant over here. You're
not paying attention. I discovered Justin Bieber on YouTube. Listen

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.
