Is our planet really getting warmer and drier? More importantly, what does that mean for all of us—no matter where we live or what our family looks like? To tackle these pressing questions, our host Tim Jordan sits down with Dr. Annalisa Bracco, a Senior Scientist at the Centro Euro Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici Foundation in Milan, Italy (CMCC). Dr. Bracco specializes in climate modeling and global warming trends. She will help us understand how changes in our climate affect everything from our daily lives to the future of the planet. Together, we’ll explore why stewardship of our planet matters—not just for those with children or grandchildren, but for everyone who cares about the legacy we leave behind. Tune in to hear a true scientist and discover what actions we can take to protect our world. Listen, learn, subscribe, share, and rate this podcast!

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.
