Outside 50 with your hosts Rick Shaibani, Tara Cilke and Ben Martinez

Ep21 of Outside 50 is a fantastic chat with Paddy Smallwood of the Bogota Bulldogs in Colombia Sth America. Paddy originally from Bairnsdale 3 hrs south east of Melbourne, tells of his journey to establishing one of the first teams in Sth America and certainly the first team to play games against USA teams.

The Bogota Bulldogs hit the world footy news recently when they played games against the reigning USAFL National Champions the Austin Crows and then the Crows main  adversaries the Denver Bulldogs.

Starting and building an Aussie Rules team in a non English speaking nation like Colombia is no easy task, and takes a lot of work and luck as Paddy relates and given that Sth American countries are so entrenched in the game of soccer, it is hats of to Paddy and his clubmates to see what they have achieved so far.

As we know footy is in hold for now, but the Bogota Bulldogs have high hopes still of playing games regularly in the USA whilst further developing the game south of the equator.

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.
