Welcome to our Eleventy First Episode!
Across the frozen North, they said the dead never truly sleep. The Norse draugar—corpse revenants—rose from their graves to guard treasure, punish betrayal, or ride the storms headless. In this Haunted Harvest episode, we explore the terrifying roots of the Headless Dead: from Viking burial rituals meant to stop the undead, to the floating entrail spirits of Southeast Asia, the cursed mule of Brazil, and the saints of Europe who walked with their own severed heads.
What connects these myths across continents and centuries? Why does the image of the headless body—or the flying head—haunt so many cultures? We trace the motif through Icelandic sagas, Asian folklore, and Christian miracle tales, revealing how one primal image became both nightmare and revelation.
🜏 Featuring: Norse draugar, nukekubi, penanggalan, cephalophore saints, and modern eyewitness reports from Iceland to Brazil.

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.
