This week Lenore of The Socialist Shelf joins us to explore how tools, capable of influencing people from a distance, could be used to manipulate not just our precious past time of voting, but implementation of policy. What fresh hells could befall the world if a Politician could write their opponents name in a notebook to guarantee their untimely demise? Or maybe even worse, give them the worst Hangover.
It’s Death Note Vs Havana Syndrome in The Most Important Election of our Lives!
“Is writing a book voting?”: Death Note was a powerful vote in that it has lead to people commiting crimes! JK Rowling created a whole fictional world in her head and got it implemented as official Political Policy. VOTE VOTE VOTE!
“How far does the power of Kira take you?”: Whats the highest office one could achieve with the Death Note? And more importantly would anyone care?
“Someone think of the Children”: Congress has passed legislation to provide support for victims of Havan Syndrome. Would they do the same for Victim’s of the Kira Cult given there is a similar amount of evidence of both existing?
“The Ultimate Question”: What’s more powerful? The Havana Syndrome Hangover Ray Gun or a Death Note that punches someone in the Dick?
Don’t miss these wild debates, deep dives, and histrionic hypotheticals! Subscribe to us for more thought-provoking episodes that question power, legacy, and the narratives we build around them. Check out ghostcoast.video/network and join the conversation today.

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.
