Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is so cool. You know how inventions come out
of necessity. Well, there are these two sisters from Colorado
and they have launched a dating app that they say
has helped hundreds of people with disabilities and chronic illnesses
find a connection and it's the only dating app of
its kind. They got this idea after their friend Jacqueline

(00:21):
went out on a date and she took her feeding
tube with her and her date was a little you know,
it was just surprised at that, not mean about it,
but just surprise. And so they created in twenty twenty two,
date Ability, which bills itself as the only app for
the disabled community and chronically ill communities, and so far
it is going great. That is fantastic. That cool. I

(00:42):

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.
