The Ponder Podcast
We live in a world overflowing with opinions, claims, and almost-truths. Everyone believes they’re right — but what if the way we see the world isn’t the way it truly is? The Ponder Podcast offers short, thought-provoking episodes that blend story, history, and reflection to sharpen discernment and spark honest self-examination. The first six episodes form Arc One, exploring everyday lies, the danger of “almost truth,” how trust can be weaponized, what it really means to believe, the logic behind life’s biggest wagers, and whether our lives are accidental or intentional. Sometimes heavy, sometimes light — always worth pondering. Learn more about each episode arc at ThePonderPodcast.com. See truth clearly. Seek truth honestly.

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.
