Speaker 1 (00:10):
We've heard so much about COVID in the past few years,
but humans have been living with viruses since the beginning. Smallpox, polio,
the common cold, herpies, the flu. It's H five N
one two three four four B. It just rolls off
the tongue right From Pushkin Industries and Ruby Studios at iHeartMedia.
This is Incubation, a podcast about the other viruses that

(00:31):
shape our lives. I'm Jacob Goldstein, and on this show
you'll hear how viruses attack us, how we fight back,
and what we've learned in the course of those fights. Well,
here why volunteers signed up to spend their vacations getting
colds at an abandoned hospital.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
The researchers would collect all their snotty tissues and try
and incubate and analyze the material in those snotty tissues.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
We'll learn how scientists have transformed our understanding of virus ruses.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
There is just something about the way the virus was shaped.
It always felt like there was no hope for creating.

wherever it exists.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Incubation is a show about humanity's struggle against the world's
tiniest villains.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
It's mind bad, crazy, dangerous, so it's completely contraintuitive. The
amazing thing is it did work.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Join me every Thursday starting September seventh for Incubation, the
viral drama you won't want to miss.

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.
