Recorded last year before the TikTok ban but more relevant than ever—this electrifying conversation dives deep into the digital battleground that is social media regulation. Isaac and cohost Verum Visand sit down with cultural commentator and social media strategist Quinn Que to unpack the political, cultural, and economic forces driving the U.S. crackdown on TikTok.
Was the ban truly about national security—or something else entirely? What does this mean for digital creators, online freedom, and the future of foreign tech in America? Quinn brings sharp insight and behind-the-scenes industry knowledge to this fast-paced discussion that uncovers the real implications of government control over the apps that shape our lives.
Whether you’re a content creator, policy junkie, or someone who just scrolls until 2am, this is a must-listen episode that reveals how close we all are to losing the platforms we take for granted.

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.
