Human Stains

Human Stains

In Human Stains, we peel back the layers of humanity’s darkest impulses to expose the indelible marks left behind by crime. This true crime podcast doesn’t just recount grisly details—it interrogates the psychological, cultural, and emotional residue that lingers long after the headlines fade. Each episode dives into a case that left a permanent stain on the lives it touched, whether through betrayal, obsession, or sheer brutality. The title Human Stains reflects the haunting idea that crime is never clean. It leaves behind traces—on victims, families, communities, and even the perpetrators themselves. These stains are metaphors for trauma, guilt, and the irreversible consequences of human choices. Some fade. Others never do. From infamous cold cases to lesser-known tragedies, Human Stains is a raw, reflective journey into the shadows of the human psyche. Because some stories don’t wash away.

    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.
