National Poll Worker Recruitment Day is a national day of action established by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) in 2020 to inspire civic engagement and encourage people to sign up to become a poll worker. On August 12, 2025, National Poll Worker Recruitment Day aims to address the continued need for poll workers to sign up to Help America Vote and strengthen our democracy. Among the events that day, a big one will be at the WWII Museum in New Orleans. The event partner is Vet the Vote who recruits military veterans and their families to serve as poll workers across the nation. The event will be livestreamed as a feature of National Poll Worker Recruitment Day.
(Aired July 13, 2025) In this podcast, Lisa Foxx interviews Commissioner Christy A. McCormick with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. They discuss her role and the role of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission with every election nationwide AND the importance of our valued poll workers.

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.
