Speaker 1 (00:15):
Pushkin. Hello Tim Harford here, I am dropping by today
with a quick but exciting update from all of us
at Cautionary Tales. I love hearing from you about your
favorite episodes and how Cautionary Tales has sparked your interest
or inspired you. But people also get in touch asking
for more episodes, with suggestions for the show, and with

(00:38):
questions about the stories we tell or how the show
comes together. So I'm thrilled to announce a new way
to get just that. It's called the Cautionary Club, and
it's now live on Patreon. At the start of each month,
you'll see me in conversation with other members of the
Cautionary Tales team. We'll go deep into topics such as

(00:59):
how we design the soundscapes of the show, or the
wild research rabbit holes we tumble into and storytelling choices
we make behind the scenes. Then, in the middle of
the month, you'll receive access to a full length Cautionary
Tales episode, one that's not available on the main feed,
And at the end of the month, I'll send you
an all new Cautionary Tales newsletter. Expect news on what

(01:21):
I've been up to, a spotlight on a recent episode,
and a sneak peek of what's coming up on the show.
In our first newsletter, we profile the enigmatic and dangerously
alluring Baroness from our episode Paradise Poisoned. This is going
to be a space for you, the Cautionary Tales community,
a place where you can discuss episodes, vote on topics

(01:42):
you want to hear more about, ask questions and more,
and of course you'll have access to the entire archive
ad free. If you're already a Pushkin Plus subscriber, don't
fret that's not going away. Nothing is changing over there.
But if you are craving even more Cautionary Tales and
you want to be part of shaping what comes next,

(02:03):
will the Cautionary Club is where you want to be.
If you have any questions about subscriptions, don't hesitate to
shoot us a note at info at Pushkin dot f M,
but to sign up for Cautionary Club, head to Patreon
dot com slash Cautionary Club. I look forward to seeing
you there.

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.
