What happens when foundational issues like racism and corruption don't sway voters? Join us on Slap the Power as we wade through the emotional fallout of the recent elections, highlighting a national rift in what were once universally accepted values. We grapple with the disbelief and dissonance felt by many, questioning how these deep-seated issues could possibly be overshadowed. In the midst of this uncertainty, we spotlight the valiant efforts of some political figures and confront the chaotic influence of misinformation from digital moguls like Elon Musk. With this backdrop, we stress the urgent need for action towards positive change and a rekindling of the core principles meant to bind us all.
From politics to pugilism, we shift gears to the thrilling spectacle of an upcoming boxing match between social media sensation Jake Paul and boxing legend Mike Tyson, streaming soon on Netflix. Reminisce with us about Tyson's nostalgic days from Nintendo glory to intense advocacy for his beloved pigeons. Discover the surprising talents of these underestimated birds, from detecting cancer to predicting volcanic eruptions, and delve into Tyson’s potential plans for a pigeon protection initiative. As we sail through this diverse narrative, get ready to explore the exciting, the unexpected, and everything in between on Slap the Power.

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.
