In this conversation, Annalouiza, Sarah Sawyer, and Gus Reid explore the profound themes of grief, death, and the healing power of poetry. They discuss Andi's posthumously published poetry collection, which candidly addresses end-of-life issues and the complexities of grief. The dialogue explores personal experiences with death, the impact of Andy's work on readers, and the significance of open conversations about mortality. Through readings of Andi's poems, the group reflects on the nuances of grief, the role of humor, and the societal challenges of coping with loss. The conversation highlights the importance of emotional expression and connection in the face of death, ultimately celebrating Andi's writing as a source of comfort and understanding for those navigating their own grief journeys.

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.
