In this week’s Life in Jest Podcast, bestie cousins Selene Castrovilla and Pascale LaForest prove that life is equal parts comedy and chaos. From jaw-dropping food prices (yes, $72 Thai For One is a thing!) to bargain-hunting at Lidl and TikTok side hustles gone rogue, this comedy podcast dives into the absurd realities we’re all living.
But it’s not all laughs—Selene and Pascale also break down the latest updates in the Karen Read true crime case, including the consequences of lying, the fallacy of “false memories,” police resignations, and courtroom drama that feels straight out of a movie. If you love true crime podcasts that mix sharp analysis with humor, you won’t want to miss this. The besties have a lot to say about what justice for John O'Keefe truly looks like, and if it's even possible.
Between pet drama (spoiled dogs and cats stealing the spotlight), lost-and-found library books, and Selene’s publishing triumph with her latest American Revolution historical fiction, Freedom’s Cost, this episode captures everything you expect from funny stories, friendship goals, and real talk.
Tune in for a wild ride where laughter, justice, and everyday absurdities collide. Because in the end, many a true word hath been spoke in jest.

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.
