About Our Sponsor
This episode is sponsored by Night Zookeeper
Thank you, Night Zookeeper, for sponsoring this episode. Learning should be fun, and the Night Zookeeper educational online program is a big hit in my house. My 9-year-old loves it. She asks to use it at least three days a week (weekends included). I can’t say I blame her; it is a very engaging language arts program with many great features. I love that it provides a safe online environment for my children. All of the shared content is reviewed by tutors to ensure their safety while in the Night Zookeeper realm. My little love creating new zoo characters and leveling them up by playing games, building accessories, and writing reports. Even my 7-year-old reluctant writer and reader thoroughly enjoys this program. It really feels more like playing than learning, and that is what this homeschooling mama needs for her favorite little lion. As a former tutor with America Reads and a five-year homeschool veteran, this is one educational tool that I highly recommend.

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.
