Episode description

Welcome to Episode 11 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 broadcast journalist Marina Jenkins. Marina started her career in London, then worked in France, before joining ITV regional news in the Channel Islands. She now lives and works in Bristol with ITV West Country, reporting on a wide range of topics.


We discuss Marina's dream feminist dinner party, starting with a fab guest list; screenwriter and actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, politician Jacinda Ardern, and playwright Henrik Ibsen (our first man...controversial choice, but have a listen to hear Marina argue his spot). Against a soundtrack of Aretha Franklin, Fleetwood Mac and Master KG, Marina and her guests host their dinner at an Italian palazzo terrace, feasting on a trio of bruschetta, burrata, and parma ham and melon, followed by spaghetti bolognese, finishing with brownies and vanilla icecream. We also discuss Marina's experience of working as a young woman in broadcast journalism and TV news.
