LikeWar
Through the ages, the boundaries between war, technology and politics have blurred. Now, terrorists livestream their brutal attacks online. Twitter “wars” produce real‑world casualties. Viral misinformation influences elections and alters the very fate of nations. Based on the book of the same name, LikeWar explores the ways in which technology, and especially social media, has been weaponized, arming the internet and the billions of people who use it every day. The series is narrated by New York Times Bestselling author P.W. Singer, described in the Wall Street Journal as “the premier futurist in the national-security environment”, with contributions from his co-author, Emerson T. Brooking.

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.
