What if the soundtrack of your life could be summed up in just 10 songs? Join us as comedian Jeff Nelson takes us through his musical journey, sharing heartfelt and humorous anecdotes highlighting how music has shaped his life. From his initial foray into a blues rock band playing tambourine and maracas to his undying love for The Rolling Stones, Jeff’s storytelling brings those vibrant moments on stage to life. He also reflects on nostalgic rituals such as frequenting Blockbuster for new movie releases and how films like "A Few Good Men" and "Chinatown" have influenced his cinematic tastes. Boldly expanding our musical horizons, we discuss U2's role in moving beyond a strict diet of rap and R&B to an appreciation for 60s psychedelic rock. Jeff recalls the transformative experience of watching the documentary "Dig!" and attending his first rap concert by The Roots, which significantly influenced his musical journey. We travel back to the lively Kansas City music scene, sharing stories about local bands, rock and roll parties, and Jeff’s work at Strange Music, where his passion for filmmaking blossomed while directing music videos. Finally, we delve into the profound impact of 90s gangster rap, recounting the thrill of discovering explicit albums and the cultural phenomenon surrounding Tupac Shakur. We examine the unsolved mysteries of Tupac and Biggie's deaths, featuring insights from Tupac's former videographer and a discussion about the evolving comedy scene. Jeff emphasizes the importance of kindness and respect within the comedy community, wrapping up the episode with words of wisdom and gratitude for being able to share his passion for music.

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.
