Splitting ribs and making them. Rustie is joined by the legendary Harry Redknapp. Welcome to episode 8 with more cooking, questions and laughter. A huge thank you to Harry.

Rustie Lee, and son, James, are back in the kitchen and ready to jerk it up! One of Rustie's faves and packed full of heat, she is cooking her Jerk Pulled Pork. It's a Jamaican ting! You'll have your guests coming back for seconds for this one. This episode is bursting with fun and laughter and you will be crying out loud so grab some tissues or a tena lady! Come and have some great food and some belly laughs. With quick fire questions from the public, unearthing forgotten memories and hilarious tales; from Rustie and her sister sneaking out of the family home to go to nightclubs, to bringing Kool and The Gang back home to surprise her parents. Naughty Rustie. You'll also hear some brilliant stories from James about his childhood; don't ask about the BBQ and the frog. We also have Wakefields Darren Hinton, aka Miss Hap, who ended up in a gay bar on stage with Rustie over ten years ago. Get comfortable; you won't be moving when this podcast starts. 

The Kitchen is closed for this episode. Instead, you have two strong Jamaican women in the public eye; Rustie Lee and Simone Riley. Simone is a radio presenter for BBC Manchester and she joins Rustie today, discussing their shared heritage and culture, going through their traditional slang and impressions for us, and the important history of the Windrush era. We're grateful for Simone's honesty and openness as they discuss pregnancies, miscarriages and post natal depression. A poignant episode highlighting the realities that are faced and the feelings and emotions involved. This one will hit you in the feels for all the right reasons and it's truly inspirational listening to two wonderful women being so honest, open and raw. Always have hope and always speak up.
