This will be our final episode of 2024, and I am afforded an unusual opportunity in that I'm actually recording this the week it'll be released instead of months in advance. Things may very well have changed a great deal by the time I get to do this again, so let me just say a very few words. Please don't capitulate in advance the way all the billionaire-captured corporate media already seem to be doing daily. If you can help it, please don't support entities that do. Please consider the advice of Fred Rogers: look for the helpers. Specifically: look around you, find the nearest helper, take them warmly by the hand, and help them however you can. Thank you. Today we have for you Susan L. Lin reading her flash fiction piece, "Inclement Weather", from Reckoning 7. It's a story narrated by the earth itself, the soil, and it's about dealing with loss, grief, and catastrophic change, finding the resources to change with it. It ends with the COVID-19 pandemic, but I think those last lines apply exactly as well to this current moment as they did then. Susan: Hi. I'm Susan L. Lin, and I'm going to be reading "Inclement Weather", my flash fiction piece that was inspired by the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Inclement Weather by Susan L. Lin

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.
