This episode of the Spooktacular is about The Sweating Sickness! This mysterious and deadly disease swept through England and Europe in the late 15th and 16th centuries. Beginning in 1485, this contagious illness caused sudden onset symptoms, and would often lead to death within hours.
This episode explores the chaotic historical context of outbreaks of The Sweating Sickness, including its impact on society and the theories surrounding its unknown cause. Drawing on accounts from people who were living through it, this episode also discusses the fear and superstition that gripped the population during these epidemics. The Sweating Sickness remains a frightening mystery in medical history, which is why it’s a great subject for the Spooktacular!

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.
