On this episode, Bill talk with author Wayne McFarland about his book "Tales From The Day" www.TalesFromTheDay.com.. Wayne McFarland wandered away from a small, mid-western town some years ago. His experiences there led to a humorous memoir, some say a satirical memoir. His first book, Tales From the Day, is a young man's memoir in the sense that it consists of humorous short stories from back in the day. This rollicking tour of the human condition, readers have found, is applicable to living a full life both then and now.

The episodes in Tales From The Day are humor stories told with candor coupled with a dry wit. Praise for Tales From The Day, for its material and great writing, is voluminous and multi-generational.

With no planning at all, his history is one of stumbling into one bog after another from the Dakotas to California, from Pamplona to Paris, picking up life changing, funny events along the way. His main claim to fame is mostly and surprisingly not being dead, plus getting involved with a lot of strange stuff, usually unwillingly or by accident. https://amzn.to/3e1Gr50 Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/1-on-1-with-bill-alexander/exclusive-content Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

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.
