Ian Wright

Ian Wright does many things I could never dream of doing. He used to play for football for Arsenal in front of thousands of people and now is a television pundit in front of millions. But we do share a lot, as well. Concern for healthy eating for children, advocacy for social justice, a fairer society, and an end to racial discrimination. Today on Table 4, we're going to get to know each other better, discussing all of this and more.

Bob Pittman

Today, we're here at the Cannes Lions Festival and have swapped the River Cafe kitchen for a galley on the most beautiful boat in the harbour, which I'm happy to say is safely tied up. Bob Pittman is a captain, sort of, as he is of so many great things. He created MTV, which changed the way we listen to music, and most recently iHeart Media, which changed the way we listen to everything else. Bob believes in stories. He has often said that everyone has one great story to tell and today it's our turn to hear his.  Please rate & review the podcast on Apple podcasts, Spotify, IHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Rachel Eliza Griffiths

Rachel Eliza Griffiths is smart, she's funny and she's kind. She's a beautiful poet and a photographer, whose black-and-white images evoke for me, Dorothea Lange. Her latest book, Promise, tells the story of two Black sisters growing up in New England during the Civil Rights movement, the story of food at the table and food in the kitchen. For food is important to Eliza. Today in The River Cafe, we will talk together about friendship, memory, writing and love.Please rate & review the podcast on Apple podcasts, Spotify, IHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Jemma Sbeg

Jemma Sbeg and I met for the first time just a few days ago in the River Cafe. She was introduced to me as the most exciting podcaster today - not great for my ego. Distance keeps us apart. She lives in Sydney. I live in London and we're in different stages of our lives for sure. But that doesn't seem to matter. We both love talking to people, we both love eating delicious food, and we both love pondering situations and finding solutions.Please rate & review the podcast on Apple podcasts, Spotify, IHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Michael Elias

Michael Elias is impressive. An actor, director of movies and television. A writer of novels and screenplays, a black belt in karate. He is generous, funny, has great ethics, and, he is a fantastic cook. They tell me that I fell in love with him the moment we met. Michael Elias is impressive, and Michael Elias is my brother.

Bella Mackie

Bella Mackie and her family have been close friends for 30 or so years. And when you're close to a family, you're close to their food. We all spent summers footsteps away from each other's homes in the Val d’Orcia, swimming, walking and attempting to read novels between long lunches, late dinners, Negronis in the piazza piena Montepulciano Bella is no longer just the daughter of our friends. She is my friend. When she and her husband Greg come to the River Cafe, they know the food they want to eat, the wine they wish to drink, and they always request a quiet table. Ask any young person working in the restaurant about Bella's books, and they'll tell you that Jog On helped them through a crisis or How to Kill Your Family was one of those books they could just not put down. Welcome to Table 4, Bella. Please rate & review the podcast on Apple podcasts, Spotify, IHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Frank Gehry

When I phoned Frank Gehry to ask him to do this podcast, he immediately said yes. And I’m not the only one Frank has said yes to. Ask around and the stories are the same—Frank giving a million dollars for an arts education in underserved communities along the Los Angeles River, or overseeing a program for mentoring children in underperforming elementary schools. His philanthropy is based on personal relationships, and I think his architecture is, too. Every time a new Frank Gehry building opened, Richard and I would make a pilgrimage to visit them—the Disney center in Los Angeles, the Louis Vuitton building in Paris, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. But one summer, in 2008, all we had to do was walk 10 minutes from our house to Hyde Park, because he had built a temporary pavilion for the Serpentine Gallery. He designed the timber-and-glass structure with his son Sammy. For those few months, we met there almost daily, to watch the sunset, to listen to people play music, to eat, and drink. This brave and beautiful structure made the park a better park and, for the summer, London a better city. Today, I have traveled from London to Los Angeles, not to see a Frank Gehry building but to see my dear friend, Frank. Will we have a good time? As always with Frank Gehry, the answer is yes.  Please rate & review the podcast on Apple podcasts, Spotify, IHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
