What happens when a drone meets a school of fish… and one whale? 🐋🛸 Photographer Joanna Steidle has the answer — and the stories to match 📷 A longtime friend and someone who I admire immensely, Joanna is an award-winning drone photographer whose work has been published by media such as CNN, The New York Times, The Smithsonian Magazine or even Forbes, and her drone footage has aired on Disney, National Geographic and Discovery Channel. Joanna is also, to date, the only female DJI-drones Creator (Ambassador) in the USA.

In this episode, Joanna shares how she went from a love to race drones to creating jaw-dropping aerial art. We talk about what gear she uses, about what gear you need to start out (and regulations you must know), how to get started in drone photography, what it's like to go viral (after working for long hours every day though), a word about marine life and conservation — and why seagulls might just be her spirit animal.

Whether you're drone-curious or just need a dose of inspiration for your next flight, Joanna's stories will have you seeing the world a little differently — from a few hundred feet up and with some good laughs!

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.
