This is an in person only event at the British Library 

Table Manners hosted by Jessie and Lennie Ware is an award-winning podcast all about food, family and everything in between, direct from their very own dinner tables. Each week guests from the worlds of music, culture and politics drop by for a bite and a bit of a natter. Oversharing is guaranteed. 

For this special live recording as part of the British Library Food Season, they are joined by Jordan Stephens. Jordan is best known as one half of the chart-topping duo Rizzle Kicks, who sold over 600,000 copies of their debut album Stereo Typical in the UK. Having been publicly open with his own struggles surrounding mental health, Jordan has been very active in creating awareness around the stigma. His mental health campaign #IAMWHOLE reached over 120 million people online and was mentioned in the Houses of Parliament. His children's book The Missing Piece was recently shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Prize. His new memoir, Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak And Dogs explores masculinity, mental health, addiction and relationships, and will be published by Canongate on the 22^nd August 2024. It is available for pre-order now.
