Speaker 1 (00:01):
And your name a Morocco. Rocca. Morocco is the country. Okay,
I'm mo Rocca, and I've got a brand new podcast.
It's all about the people who have long fascinated me.
The one thing they've got in common, they're all dead.

(00:21):
The name of my brand new podcast, Mobituaries. This first season,
we've cast a wide net from the twentieth century's greatest entertainer,
easily the greatest. He had it all. He was everything.

(00:42):
I mean, he could play any instrument, he could sing,
he could dance like a maniac. So you were blobbs, Yeah,
what was that like? It was fabulous. He's as talented
in that area as he wasn't as he was otherwise.
To the founding Father, who just doesn't seem to get
much respect, this guy did everything wrong, said, there's no statue,

(01:06):
there's no signature on the Declaration of Independence. All his
pr instincts were bad instincts, okay from sitcom characters gone
too soon. They had to kill her instantly, instantly. They
did not have room in the writing for the older brother,
because the fawns became the older brother to our cave

(01:28):
dwelling human ancestors. If they had told me only how
much Neanderthal I am. I would have paid twice the
amount for the test. You'll learn new things about people
you thought you knew. Were you aware that the day
of your inauguration, Audrey Hepburn died. No, you didn't know that. No,
you'll learn about people you've never heard of. She's really

(01:51):
the Rosa Parks of New York. Most New Yorkers, most Americans,
have no idea. How much does this historical amnesia bother you?
I mean, it's infuriating, it's absolutely infuriating. Oh, by the way,
some of the people aren't people at all. We've got
the majestic trees that do no harm to anyone, and

(02:12):
someone has chosen to harm them. It makes no sense
to me. So join me this premier season of Mobituaries.
Ye know what, I'm telling you, my whole life story.
Anything you're doing, it's a podcast that's even worse.

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
