Episode Transcript
In nineteen twenty, a magazine article announced something incredible. Real
fairies had been photographed. Two young girls playing by the
creek near their house in Cottingley, England, had been surrounded
by fairies and had been able to snap pictures to
prove it. That magazine article announcing their discovery it was
(00:22):
written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
If you don't recognize his name, you probably know the
name of his most famous character, Sherlock Holmes. Yes, the
man who invented literature's most brilliant.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Detective was fooled by.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Two girls into thinking fairies were real.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
The thing which you probably know is that fairies aren't real,
but Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wanted to believe they could be,
and so he found ways to dismiss all of the
logical ways the photos of the Cottingley fairies could have
been faked.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
History is filled with hoaxes, people coming up with scams
and tricks for profit, but sometimes just for fun. In
an era of misinformation, the ability to think critically and
to understand what's real and what isn't seems more important
than ever.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Hoax is a new podcast for me. Danish Warts, the
creator of Noble Blood and me Lizzie Logan.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Every episode, we'll explore one of the most audacious and
ambitious tricks in history, from the fake Shakespeare's to balloon boys,
all trying to answer the question why we believe what
we believe.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
The first episode of Hoax is available on August fourth.

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.
