ABOUT JUSTIN
The Baltimore community knows Justin Schlegel’s voice very well, given he’s co-hosted the popular morning radio program, Justin, Scott & Spiegel, since the show’s inception in 2013. Viewers can tune in at 98 Rock to hear Schlegel from 5:30 in the morning to 10 AM.
As a natural entertainer, Schlegel first explored the radio industry when he got into the Broadcasting Institute of Maryland. He was often at the top of his class and tutored other students, so it’s no surprise that upon completion of his studies, he was hired for stations WYCR and WHVR to perform board operation duties. Since he didn’t align with the company, after five years, he quit his job and went to a bar, where he found himself performing standup comedy. Suddenly, he performed 15 shows a month, hired an agent, was touring nationally, and even made it into the prestigious comedy festival, Just For Laughs, in Montreal.
One night, he was approached after a comedy set by 98 Rock hosts, Kirk McEwen and Mickey Cucchiella, and they asked him to feature on their show. He impressed the station, returned to his broadcasting roots, and spent years recurring all over 98 Rock before he was offered his own late night program: The Justin Schlegel Fiasco. Eventually, he was moved up to afternoons, and then he received the coveted spot as morning host.

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.
