This week, we’re stepping outside our usual Hallmark lane and diving into Lifetime’s powerful original movie Faith in the Flames: The Nichole Jolly Story. Based on true events, this film recounts the harrowing experience of Nichole Jolly, a nurse who survived the devastating 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, California.
We break down the movie’s emotional storytelling, the real-life heroism behind Nichole’s survival and how Lifetime translated her extraordinary journey to the screen. Along the way, we talk about:
- The balance between heartbreaking tragedy and uplifting resilience
- Why Nichole’s story stands apart from the typical disaster movie
- How the film captures the small, ordinary details that make survival stories hit harder
- Where Lifetime leaned into their signature style—and where they surprised us
Of course, we add our signature Love on the Pod flavor: tropes, favorite moments and a few laughs.
Whether you watched the movie, followed coverage of the Camp Fire, or just enjoy true-story Lifetime dramas, this episode will leave you both inspired and thoughtful.

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.
