A Seat At The Table with Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff

Welcome to Episode 12 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 Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff, an award-winning freelance journalist, book editor, columnist, host, and creative. Formerly a Senior Staff Editor at the New York Times and Editor-in-Chief at gal-dem magazine, she has also written and edited for a variety of publications, including the Guardian, the Observer, Dazed, and the Financial Times. She is the editor of Black Joy, a new anthology that explores what it means to be Black and British today, and the editor and main author of Mother Country: Real Stories of the Windrush Children, a leading exploration of the Windrush generation.

We discuss Charlie's dream feminist dinner party, starting with a guest list of novelists; science fiction writers N.K. Jemisin and Octavia Butler, and author Andrea G. Stewart. Set against a soundtrack of Al Green, Isley Brothers and Beyoncé, Charlie and her guests feast on fresh bread and whipped butter, TEP belt noodles, and pandan cheesecake. We discuss Charlie's new column on female friendship for Stylist Magazine, as well as Black Joy, and her career journey.
