Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello. I'm Jamilla Risby. I've been a journalist for oh god,
too long, maybe ten years now, But growing up as
an Indian Australian, I heard and I read and I
watched stories being told by people who didn't look like me,
whose experiences weren't like mine. Whether it's our first people's
or our most recent arrivals, Australia is full of diverse storytellers. Enter,

the spinning chairs. We put out the word to unearth

(01:10):
believe something like this has been made for emerging diverse talent.
I want someone who's listening to a story that I
come up with to feel like they're just sitting on
the couch having a cup of tea. I'd love to
be able to use some cultural aspects and tell some
Indigenous stories as well. We whittled it down to the
final four, flew them into iHeart HQ and gave them

(01:30):
a crash course in podcasting before setting them free to
find and tell the best stories this country has to offer.
And now they're ready to go. Each episode our storytellers
will be given a theme. Then they'll go head to
head to find and tell the best story, and whoever
does it best will be crowned the find and Tell Champion.

Stuff You Should Know
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.
