TRIGGER WARNINGS: Mental health discussions in the first story, “Thief.” Child death in the second story, “Roadside.” Terminal illness in the third story, “Wandering Spirits.”

This special Halloween episode was written by Erin B. Lillis and produced by Alex Woods. It included three spooky sapphic stories by guest writers.

The first, Thief is by Jason Hayashi - a maturing young LGBTQ+ demon with a penchant for horror and dreams of writing full time in the future. The story was produced by Alex Woods, narrated by Erin B. Lillis and featured the guest voice of Angelique Lazarus. Angelique can be found on Twitter at @AngeliqueVoices

Our second story, Roadside, was by N.M. Brown. Brown writes horror that makes you ask yourself the questions you've trained your mind to hide. She is known for specializing in domestic horror, but has started to branch out towards science fiction horror as well. The story was produced by Alex Woods and narrated by Victoria Juan from the CALLING DARKNESS podcast.

Our final story, Wandering Spirits, is by Robin Alexander. The story was produced and narrated by Erin B. Lillis.  Born in 1965, Robin Alexander grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where she still resides. An avid reader of Lesbian fiction, Robin decided to take the leap and try her hand at writing. It didn't take long for her favorite hobby to become a full-time author. With over two dozen titles in print with Intaglio Publications, Robin's books have fast become a favorite among fans of lesbian romance. Robin approaches everything with a sense of humor, which is evident in her style of writing. The full text of Wandering Spirits can be read on Robin's website.

A very special thank you to the CALLING DARKNESS audio drama podcast which we tunneled into this week to borrow a narrator from. Victoria Juan reprised her role as Mariela and S.H. Cooper reprised her role as Bridgette for this episode with other cast members making special background appearances.

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
