Revving Up Nostalgia: A Journey Through the Lost in the Fifties Car Show The air is filled with the rich aroma of sizzling food and the gleam of polished chrome as car enthusiasts gather for the Lost in the Fifties car show at St. Teresa's Church. Broadcasting live, Aaron Clements and Jamie Bridges take us on an exhilarating ride through the history and evolution of the automotive world. The show is a haven for car lovers, with a stunning array of classic vehicles on display. From Corvettes to Triumph pedal cars, the event is a celebration of the golden era of automobiles. As Eric and Jamie B reminisce about the 1950s, a time when car design was all about style and aesthetics, they highlight the influence of World War II engineers who transitioned from designing aircraft to creating the iconic tailfins and sleek hoods that defined the decade. But the show is more than just a walk down memory lane. It's an exploration of how far we've come in terms of automotive technology and safety. The duo discusses the evolution of car features, from the introduction of seat belts and power steering in the 1950s to the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) of today. These innovations have transformed driving from a purely mechanical experience to one that is increasingly digital and interconnected. Listeners are also treated to a lively discussion on the impact of modern technology on car design and functionality. A caller, Ron from Apple, expresses his frustration with the homogeneity of today's cars and the over-reliance on electronic features. Eric and Jamie B acknowledge these concerns but emphasize the importance of safety advancements that have made driving more secure than ever. As the show continues, Eric and Jamie B share practical tips for car maintenance and safety, particularly in preparation for winter driving. From ensuring proper fluid levels to investing in a block heater for diesel engines, their advice is invaluable for anyone looking to keep their vehicle in top condition. The Lost in the Fifties car show is not just a nostalgic trip for car enthusiasts; it's a reminder of the freedom and independence that cars have brought to society. The event encourages everyone to explore local car shows, enjoy the history of automobiles, and appreciate the technological advancements that continue to shape the future of driving.

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.
