It's Not Even Like That

It's Not Even Like That

It’s Not Even Like That is a comedic podcast that examines how the media depicts disability and smacks it in the face with a dose of reality. What is it like to be disabled? Judging from TV and film, disabled people are: angry, depressed, non-sexual, and pitiful. Or they’re portrayed as childlike, magical beings whose sole purpose is to inspire and remind non-disabled folks to appreciate what they have. Either way, the message is loud-and-clear: disability is bad. But why? Comedian Pavar Snipe is on a mission to find out! In each episode, she interviews a different disabled comic, actor, or media personality about their experiences and accomplishments before diving into what they think Hollywood gets right and so very wrong about disabled life. Along the way, she and her amazing guests smash the ridiculous stereotypes, myths, and tropes that have plagued the disability community for too long to prove that real life is much funnier than fiction.

    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.
