Failures: The Podcast

Failures: The Podcast is a raw, no-fluff self-development show for men navigating life without a manual. Hosted by Rich and Justin — two longtime friends in their 30s — this podcast explores fatherhood, masculinity, legacy, discipline, regret, purpose, and generational healing through one unfiltered lens: failure. Each week, they share real stories, tough lessons, and invisible influences that shaped who they’ve become — and how younger men can learn from it. Whether you're figuring out how to be a father, chasing financial freedom, or trying to heal from the way you were raised, this show is for you. We're not gods. We're not gurus. Just two men in our 30s sharing what we’ve learned the hard way—so you don’t have to. 🎙️ New episodes every week 📲 Follow @FailuresMedia on all platforms 🧠 Join the movement: https://failuresmedia.com/subscribe

    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.
