Episode Transcript
Growing up, I just never liked the name Maurice. I
wasn't sure what just call you, whether I should call
you Maurice. Am. I'm Morocca and I'm back with season
three of my podcast Mobituaries. I'm looking forward to introducing
you to even more of my favorite dearly departed people
(00:24):
and things from once popular names that have been left
for Dad. It's not a goofy name, it's a cool name.
It's tied to the girl whose name made international news
in eleven year old American school girls. Samantha Smith today
said goodbye to Soviet children she met at a youth
(00:45):
camp on the Black Sea. She was that beam of
sunshine that broke through the cold ice of cold work
to the woman of a thousand voices, Why are you
taking our Christmas tree? Why you know her? Laugh for
witch Hazel. It's so quintessential right to freak you out.
(01:07):
It creaked me out from the Latin lovers who set
Hollywood on fire in the nineteen twenties. He would hold
you in his arms if you were a beautiful woman,
and kiss you passionately and brutally. Can somebody turn down
the thermostat and here if I'm feeling hot to TV's
(01:30):
top dog of the nineties. As you know, Wishbone is
the star of the mega popular, award winning children's show
on PBS Design to Introduce kids to literature. I've told
people that writing for the show was like an assignment
from an English professor on asset, it totally was. Yes,
this season, I'll tell you about the year that changed
(01:51):
marriage in America. On screen, so pleased to meet you.
I'm pleased to meet you, Mrs Graydon, And off screen,
we didn't get married for any reason other than the
fact that we loved each other. We weren't trying to
prove anything, change anything. We just loved each other. Listen
to obituaries on the I Heart radio app, Apple podcasts,
(02:13):
or wherever you get your podcasts. What do you think
of the name Maurice. I think of like an old
French dude, kind of short and fat.

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.
