Big Ideas

Big Ideas

What roles do Bigs play in family engagement in mentoring? How do they enhance (or undermine) family relationships? The Big Ideas podcast—sponsored by Search Institute—will explore these kinds of questions, using the Developmental Relationships Framework as a starting point. Each episode will focus on a key issue and one of the elements of developmental relationships. We’ll interview a Big and a parent for each episode, working with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and the pilot agencies to identify people who can talk about specific, practical ways they have dealt with challenges in positive ways in their own Big-Parent relationship. Hosted by Abby Fisher, VP of Programs at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio.

    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.
