Prismatic: An Audio Series

Prismatic: An Audio Series

Prismatic does more than tell you stories. Hosted by Josh Gwynn (@regardingjosh), Will Johnson (@willnotgoquietly) and Tsige Tafesse (@astoldbytsige), the show goes further than the news, right past whatever pop culture gossip is flooding your various feeds, and straight into that gooey part under your rib cage where those warm, weighty feelings fumble and flutter around all day. This is urgent, in-your-face, need-to-know-right-now stuff about you and me. With storytelling kept at its center, each episode builds up an important archive of knowledges, spaces, people, words, feelings, art, stories, affirmations, laughs, mantras, prayers, and love for ourselves. Prismatic wants to open up eyes, minds, and hearts and capture all the ways we have learned to survive.

    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.
