South Carolina Supreme Court Historical Society Podcast
Join the Historical Society and the SC Bar Foundation as we share the stories of South Carolina’s legendary lawyers and judges through our oral history program. We have had the distinct pleasure of recording hundreds of our hours of interviews and conversations detailing early life experiences that encouraged individuals to seek a legal education, epic legal battles, and reflections on landmark cases from attorneys who litigated, judges who presided, and the fortunate lawyers who found a seat in crowded courthouses. In addition to these milestones, we’ve had the rare ability to capture history you’ve likely never heard from invitations to join singing groups, friendships formed through the civil rights moment, and so much more.

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.
