Festive Fans Unite! (send us a message)
We’re sizzling all the way into a Festive Fans milestone moment — it’s our two-year anniversary and we’re inviting you to join the celebration!
For 50 episodes, we've been traveling the globe and unwrapping the world’s best gifts -- Christmas movies, music, and memories found in so many different places. We have visited nearly every continent and observed the unique traditions and customs found in other countries. It’s heartwarming to realize how, despite our language barriers and cultural differences, we all still enjoy a festive connection and share a little holiday magic, be it delivered by a saint, a goat, a witch, 3 Kings, or a log.
After two years, listeners should know that being a Festive Fan requires more than just curiosity. Whether you've been with us from the start or just jumped aboard recently, we don’t believe the Christmas spirit is limited to one specific season. You can always find time to share joy, wonder, and generosity throughout the year.
In a society that likes to highlight those unfortunate traits that set us apart, Festive Foreign Film Fans offers a welcome alternative. Our podcast is a window into the colorful history and vibrant experiences of other cultures. Knowledge provides the bridges we need to cross over our perceived divides of race, nationality, religion, and politics. By embracing and understanding our foreign neighbors, we can focus on finding common ground instead of obsessing over our differences. As Festive Fans, we should all feel a little more human together.
This is the true reason for our celebration. So, grab an El Presidente Margarita and raise a toast to the festive stories, laughter, and community that we have enjoyed for these two wonderful years. And get ready for Season Three. We are still going strong and the excitement is just starting to build!

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.
