Country hitmaker Cole Swindell joins Like A Farmer for a heartfelt conversation about life, music, and meaning. From New Dad Knowledge presented by CASE KNIVES to the story behind his smash hit “She Had Me at Heads Carolina,” Cole shares how storytelling and living life has guided everything he does. He opens up about the emotion behind “Make Heaven Crowded,” which derives from the impact of Erika Kirk’s words, and his journey from Luke Bryan's merch guy to chart-topping artist. Plus, in Give ’Em the Boot presented by TECOVAS, Cole tells his best Luke Bryan story of all time, reflects on today’s country music, and reminds us all what staying humble really looks like.

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.
