Episode 108: The Alamo Cenotaph Restoration
The Spirit of Sacrifice, commonly known as the Alamo Cenotaph, has stood proud and tall for 85 years. Built in memory of the heroes who sacrificed their lives in the Battle of the Alamo, time had taken its toll on the marble monument.
We reveal the painstaking efforts over the past year to restore the Cenotaph in place, the ceremony this week to rededicate the monument, and the improvements made to ensure it continues to stand, for generations to come. Featuring the Alamo's Head Conservator Pam Jary Rosser and the Alamo's Senior Curator, Historian, & Lecturer Ernesto Rodriguez.

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.
