Breed Presents

We're excited to bring you the next episode of Breed Presents because its guest is Ruthie Rogers, best known as the founder and owner of The River Cafe.
 
It's safe to say she's a creative mind, no matter what she turns her attention to. From co-founding The River Cafe alongside Rosie Gray, writing, designing and editing cookbooks, and now hosting her own podcast Ruthie's Table 4.
 
We discuss her recent books, Table 4 at The River Cafe, collecting interviews from the podcast, and Squeeze Me: Lemon Recipes and Art, a collaboration with artist Ed Ruscha. 
 
Recorded at her home, designed by her late husband architect Richard Rogers, we also touch on her art collection, its meaning and importance.

Ramdane Touhami is the guest in this episode of Breed Presents. Ramdane is not someone to get stuck in one creative silo - perhaps the best way to describe him would be as a creative editor. He is the founder of Words, Sounds, Colors & Shapes, which is described as a context rather than concept store in central Paris and he's also the owner of the Drei Berge Hotel in a spectacular spot in the Swiss Alps. Those two form part of our conversation, along with his creative agency Art Recherche Industrie, his ongoing fascination with the history and design of the counterculture, and the recently opened Papier Royal.

In this episode, we talk to Will Hudson, who co-founded It's Nice That in 2007. It's Nice That subsequently span off in a number of different directions, including HudsonBec Group, creative agency Anyways, Creative Lives in Progress, which helps newcomers to the industry, and If You Could Jobs.  All have had one aim in mind – the promotion and opening up of the creative industries and the ideas they produce. In our conversation, we touch on the original vision Will and his friend and business partner Alex Bec had, when they set up It's Nice That while still at university in Brighton. And whether they could ever have foreseen how influential it's become in the years since.

For this episode of Breed Presents our guest is the Yorgo Tloupas. Not only is he Creative Director of his own design studio Yorgo&Co in Paris, but he's also a snowboarder, teacher and proprietor of his own Greek cafe, Yorgaki
He started his design career while still a student, creating a line of snowboards for Rossignol. He was soon working on magazines in Paris and London, including founding Intersection with photographer Rankin. Recently, he's creative directed Les Inrockuptibles. We talk about all of this, plus his involvement in ski brand Black Crows.

We're joined by artist Polly Morgan for this episode of Breed Presents. Polly made her name working with taxidermy in her art, which evolved over the years into the creation of more sculptural pieces involving snakeskins, concrete and polyurethane.
Our podcast chat took place at Polly's home near Stroud, and covered moving away from London, her home for many years, loss and grief, and all the experiences and inspirations that feed into her work.
We also touch on her recent transition into being a curator for exhibitions by other artists.
