Episode 15 - Cole Hyland // Writer. Graphic Designer.

“Cole Hyland, wow, I love this person. She’s a stunner of a human, inside and out, and I honestly probably love her more than she even knows, to be quite honest. I feel magnetically inspired by her, and I always look forward to spending time with her. I feel like we’re on some fine wine type shit—like, as we both age, our conversations just get better and better, and I come away from our hangs liking this magical human more and more. This time was no exception.
Cole was one of two artists who actually inspired me to make this podcast, the other being Leigh Ellexson. Their individual writings and acts of vulnerability, all shared online, helped me during a time when I was feeling quite down, and I think their work helped pick me up and assisted me in carving my own path of sharing online—this path being the BEDROOM Podcast you’re listening to here. I’ll always be grateful to her for her writings and will continue to be a fanboy.
In this episode of BEDROOM™, Cole shares some behind the scenes of her ongoing writing project entitled “Sunday Love Letters,” which is a bi-monthly journal entry on Substack. Sunday Love Letters consists of existential ramblings, sparkly nostalgia, and constant reminders of the literal—and metaphorical—fresh air she (and we) all need in our lives. We discuss how sharing vulnerable thoughts online can actually help generate connection, and how, through the act of sharing, one can essentially transform sad thoughts that hurt us into acts of healing, helping us feel more grounded and confident in ourselves. We talk about Western normalities and the pressures placed upon women and young girls. We dish out some random-ass celebrity gossip about Bill Hader and Ali Wong, which essentially leads us down a rabbit hole about romance in the modern age, dating apps, makeup, and more.
The theme of this episode is duality and how we, as humans, are just extremely complex. It’s a fun, cute, sometimes silly, and sometimes deep conversation between two pals who just like to get vulnerable on the internet in hopes of feeling a little more comfy-cozy in the world.
Big shout outs to Cole for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOM™, y’all! WORLD WIDE PEACE!” - PSG

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.
