The all-woman town council of Kanab, Utah, wasnât just a quirky footnote in frontier historyâthey were a civic force with apron strings and iron wills. In this second half of their story, the ordinances keep coming, but marshals keep quitting. So the women place a help-wanted ad for a man with âspine, humor, and no fear of mothers.â
But not every tale from their tenure is quite so groundedâŠ
We investigate the myth of the âRollaway Saloonââa bar-on-logs said to have dodged prohibition by rolling across the Utah-Arizona border. Youâll hear the outrageous cowboy version told by Rowland W. Rider⊠and the butter-churning, baby-raising truth recorded by the locals who actually lived it.
Also in this episode:
â A showdown over 12 gallons of âmedicinalâ liquor đ„Â
â A marshal who answers to âMarshaâ đ€ Â
â A fruit festivalđđwelcome party for the first automobile to reach the North Rim
â A young Edwin Dilworth Chamberlain explaining why Kanab watermelons grow so bigđđ€
â And a poetic farewell to the women who governed with grit, prayer, and a rocking chair in every meeting. This is the finale of Kanabâs Petticoat Government. And youâll never see a âwomenâs meetingâ the same way again.

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 customersâwho have become friendsâto talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. âFoods 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,â 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 CuarĂłn, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafeâs 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.
