Welcome to Episode 9 of A Seat At The Table with Spare Ribs Club!

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 Leah Commandeur, who is a loyal member of Spare Ribs Club. Leah works as a runner and team assistant for an independent creative business that focuses on advertising, having graduated with a BA in English Literature and Drama from Dublin. She loves reading, cooking for her friends, and writing when she has the time.

We discuss Leah's dream feminist dinner party, starting with a guest list of literary icons; Fleabag, Nora Ephron and Greta Gerwig. Set against a soundtrack of Fiona Apple, Lauren Hill and Pillow Queens, Leah and her guests start with tap water from Leah's grandparents' tap in Tallaght, Dublin, and cheap white wine, before feasting on Dusty Knuckle sourdough with butter and olive oil, Asian-inspired burrata, the gnudi from Jolene, her Oma's cheesy creamy baked courgettes, and finishing with almond orange cake and lavender icecream, plus a spicy margarita. We discuss Leah's love of literature and reading, and how it connects with her own personal feminism.
