Today’s podcast was our 50th Episode, quite a milestone for us here at FTCO. We had a special guest for this episode, it was Jenn Lee who is the VP of Sales and Marketing for Travel Planners International (TPI). TPI is a leading host travel agency with over 4000 Travel advisors, close to 400 suppliers and $20 million in commissions paid last year, they are a leader in the travel industry.

Jenn and the Friends discussed the value of travel advisors and why it makes sense for all travelers to use one. No cost, and it saves them money and the insider information that a would-be traveler gets is incredible. We also discussed the state of the travel industry due to COVID and optimism that 2021 is just around the corner and that the travel industry is set to take off.

Jenn and the Friends discussed the role travel content providers like podcasters and bloggers will play as the travel industry move forward. Podcasters like FTCO provide valuable first- hand accounts of what travelers can expect to experience on their journey’s, and that can be invaluable to a travel advisor who is guiding their customers to their dream vacations.

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.
