Episode 16: Haunted Helpers & the Grumpy Van Man Survey
Welcome, my spiritual sweethearts! 👻
We kick off this week with Linda venting about her latest run-in with a nasty white van man — honestly, the spiritual energy in some of these tradesmen is diabolical. That leads us neatly into a completely unscientific but 100% accurate survey of the UK’s most miserable workers. (Van men, you’re high on the list. Sort it out.)
Then we dive into the mystical pages of Take A Break Fate & Fortune, exploring stories of people with a sixth sense — that uncanny spidey-tingle that tells you something spooky’s afoot.
From the same mag, we hear an incredible tale of a ghost saving a woman from alcoholism. A true spirit intervention! 🍷✨
But the big one this week is a powerful, emotional story from Dave Granville — a listener who sent in a letter so packed with spiritual twists, family secrets and chills, we just had to talk to him on Zoom.
And as if the spirits weren’t done, we then hear from Kelly Rickard, who contacted us to say she’d experienced the very same haunting Dave described only last week. The spirit world is clearly on a group chat.
Then it’s time for a bit of problem solving — everything from ghostly nuisances to relationship confusion. You send them in, we dig through the ectoplasm for answers.
And to top it all off, Barry from Watford pops in to promote his latest Buckle Up with Barry episode — featuring none other than Matt Lucas. Find it on TalkSport or wherever you get your podcasts, and do give it a listen… if only to hear Barry go wildly off-topic, as usual.
With thanks to:

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.
