Hey friends!
On this podcast, we will be talking about all thing’s crime. From murder, to missing persons, to mass shootings, to just plain old spooky! Layered with some lighthearted humor...and some not so lighthearted humor. Please be advised that this podcast is filled with adult content and explicit language; listener discretion is advised.
Today’s episode is our first one of spooky season! We are doing a throwback to a creep in the night…
In the fall of 1888, an area in the East End of London called Whitechapel was rampant with poverty, violence, and women engaging in sex work to survive. With all this happening, a sudden string of brutal murders began to occur with women being found with their throats slashed and major trauma to their abdomens. These women were known for being involved in sex work and many of them were struggling with alcohol dependency. No evidence was ever left behind and the majority of these women were found very shortly after they were murdered. All police knew was that the killer used a 6–8-inch blade, was a man, the direction of the neck wounds, and that the murders occurred on or around weekends and holidays. With nothing to go on, media received a letter from someone who had knowledge about the murders and had named himself, Jack the Ripper. Who was this Jack? Was he caught? Listen to find out!

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.
