Episode Transcript
Hi. I'm Ali Wentworth, best selling author, actor, host, mother
and Zoloft consumer. In my new podcast, Go Ask Ali,
I'm really taking a look at life. Look. I wasn't
around for the Spanish flu, but it seems that since
this pandemic there's a new normal. So I'm asking the
question in two parts, how do you grow a teenager
(00:22):
in a pandemic? And how do you grow a relationship
in the pandemic. We'll be tackling such subjects as the
sexualization of girls in the Internet. From movie star model Brookshields.
I had a very strange, strange relationship with sexuality as
a child. This is only a half hour podcast, Brooke
and listen. How are we dealing with teenagers? And they're
(00:44):
overwhelming anxiety and uncertainty about the future. Actually teenage years now.
By the way, the National Academy of Science says it
goes all the way up to age Wait a second,
teenagers go to twenty five now? Got up, my man,
it's for this. Let me be honest. I'm not a truthsayer,
therapist or advice columnists. I'm not even particularly sage, but
(01:07):
I do know a thing or two about a thing
or two. This is not the image of you that
should be out there. I say, when it comes to
social media, what is the story that you're telling? Is
your story that you care about social justice? Or is
your story that you're sexy and you can bend your
legs like that, which I think are probably better ways
(01:30):
than I'm following you. I know what you're putting on
your social because they're teenagers and they'll find ways around it.
For whatever reason, people come to me for advice, probably
because I act like I know what I'm talking about,
or I'm married to a Rhodes scholar, and sometimes it
falls on deaf ears and sometimes I get the response,
stop you're annoying, but that's usually my children. So join
(01:55):
me as I really dissect life in this new normal
and try to figure out how to grow everything in
a pandemic. All new episodes of Go Ask Gali release
every Thursday. Listen to Go Ask Gali on the I
Heart Radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your 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.
