In this episode: Over the past 50 years you’ve seen our county from every angle. From your professional work at UCHRA, to your political service in the County Commission, to the countless boards, committees and commissions you’ve seen it all. When you look at your work so far, what’s the through-line that ties it all together? Cookeville and Putnam County are changing everyday. Right now it feels like we’re a caterpillar in a cocoon waiting to transform into a beautiful butterfly. What do you hope the next metamorphosis of Cookeville and the Upper Cumberland looks like? On September 25th to 27th Cookeville will host the Tennessee NAACP State Conference. Why is hosting the 79th NAACP State Convention in Cookeville significant right now for the Upper Cumberland and for the state?

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.
