What Would Handy Andy Do? Winter Renter’s Edition
Frozen pipes, drafty windows, sky-high heating bills — winter can be brutal if you're not ready. In this episode, Handy Andy breaks down exactly what to do before the cold takes its toll, starting with one commonly forgotten (and flood-causing) mistake.
They talk frost-free spigots, DIY insulation tricks, and why thermal curtains might be the best home upgrade you never knew you needed. Whether you're a renter or a homeowner, this conversation is packed with practical, budget-friendly advice for winterizing your space.
Think like Andy, and you might just avoid a mid-January plumbing disaster.
The Internet’s Ocean Floor and the Future of Fake Artists
From fiber optics under the sea to AI artists on Spotify, Handy Andy joins to talk about the invisible infrastructure shaping our digital world.
They start with a simple question: where would you live if cost and time were no issue? Andy shares his craving for sun and affordability — no winter, maybe Vietnam — before diving into the stunning truth that 95% of global data still runs through undersea cables. Then, it's onto AI: why most listeners can’t tell when music is machine-made, and why people get uncomfortable once they find out.
What’s real, what’s human, and what matters more — creativity or transparency?

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.
