Imagine if three simple words could help first responders find you faster in an emergency.

That’s exactly what this episode is all about — how the what3words app is making that possible.

Acting Fire Chief Matt Richardson and Michael Atkins, fire prevention officer, from Welland Fire and Emergency Services (WFES) are back to explain how this innovative, user-friendly tool divides the world into 3-by-3 metre squares and assigns each with a unique three-word address. This is a game-changer when it comes to communicating precise locations, especially in moments when every second counts.

We’re exploring why WFES is adopting what3words, how it compares to traditional location methods, and how residents can start using it today.

Here’s where you can learn more: https://what3words.com/embedded.fizzled.trial 

Whether you’re on a trail, at a park, or anywhere without a clear address, what3words can help emergency services find you.

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.
