Welcome to Episode 18 of A Seat At The Table with Spare Ribs Club, our final episode of the first series!

In this podcast series, creator of Spare Ribs Club Alex Holker talks to guests about their dream feminist dinner party. From their 3 feminist guests, the 3 tunes that will be on repeat all evening, and the 3 courses being served, this podcast brings together conversations around feminism, female friendship and food.

In this episode, Alex talks to Amanda Daud. Amanda is a camera assistant and documentary filmmaker based in Glasgow. She works in the Film and TV industry within the camera department, and has worked on shows such as Black Mirror, The Chemistry of Death and Anansi Boys. She graduated from the University of Cambridge with a degree in anthropology, and she is passionate about interrogating its postcolonial relations with film. Within her own filmmaking practice, she is motivated by those at the margins of canonical anthropology and documentary film, and is constantly inspired by the ways in which they interrogate their ‘Other/Outsider-ness’.

We discuss Amanda's dream feminist dinner party, starting with a guest list of poets and filmmakers; writer Audre Lorde, and filmmakers Cheryl Dunye and Trinh T Minh-ha. Set in an imagined rural lakehouse, against a soundtrack of Nicki Minaj, SZA and Samirah Raheem, they start with vegan nuggets and cauliflower wings, followed by a customisable Beyond Burger station, finishing with homemade lemon drizzle cake and vanilla icecream. We discuss Amanda's interest in film and documentary-making, the societal pressures on women of colour, and the importance of rest and healing in the feminist fight.
