Radio Cherry Bombe

“Bet on yourself. Anything is possible at any age.”
That’s one of the biggest lessons Annie Meyers-Shyer, creator of This Oak House, has learned on her unexpected journey from sharing her home on Instagram to building a beloved interiors and renovation platform, writing a bestselling book, and launching a collection with Target.
On this episode of Radio Cherry Bombe, Annie joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about taking a chance on herself, saying yes to possibilities she never imagined, and what happens when you refuse to take no for an answer. Along the way, they revisit their Harper’s Bazaar days (including a few very Devil Wears Prada moments), discuss breakfast nooks and farmers’ markets, and get into why gatekeeping still happens in the design world.
It’s an inspiring conversation about taking risks, finding your voice, and remembering that it’s never too late to build something you believe in.

We’re dipping into the Radio Cherry Bombe archives this week in honor of Olivia Colman’s new movie, “Wicker,” in which she plays a fisherwoman who orders up a husband, played by Alexander Skarsgård. Olivia is one of our favorite actors, and we’re revisiting her conversation with host Kerry Diamond and food stylist Dorothy Barrick about the film “The Roses,” in which Olivia stars opposite Benedict Cumberbatch as a chef whose marriage takes a dramatic turn.
Olivia and Dorothy talk about bringing the movie’s food-filled scenes to life, Olivia’s other chef role as Chef Terry on “The Bear,” and what it takes to make the food look picture-perfect on screen. Olivia also shares her own cooking skills, her early jobs in restaurants, and why playing an angry character can be so much fun. Plus, Dorothy returns for a special one-on-one conversation with Kerry about the behind-the-scenes world of food styling for film and television, including her work on “Saltburn,” the challenges of cooking on set, and the tricks of the trade.
