We welcome Stephen St. Francis Decky to the Meat For Teacast!

Stephen and Elizabeth discuss writing, films, music and art - and a lot more. Stephen reads from his novel Werewolf Movie too!

Find out more at https://werewolfmovie.net

And his anwers to the final four questions, summarized here:

1. SCENT: Amour de Cacao by Sud Pacifique presently, but my go-to is the Tonkade by Laboratorio Olfattivo.
2. WRITING: César Aira, (Dinner in particular, but also An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter and pretty much everything else he's written); Molly Pohlig (The Unsuitable); Anna Sewell (Black Beauty); The play I'm currently doing projection design for (and reading over and over) is called Beyond That Nothing Is Certain, written by Monica Isakstuen, performed at The Cherry Theater in Ithaca, New York.
3. MUSIC: Melody's Echo Chamber (Unclouded is her newest album); Spell Blanket by Broadcast
4. FILM: Director Lucile Hadžihalilović (The Ice Tower (2025) is her latest, but Earwig (2022) and Evolution (2015) are also fantastic); Director Steve McQueen (Education from the Small Axe series).

It's Women's History Month - so let's go back to Season 1, Episode 14 for Elizabeth's conversation with Gayle Brandeis!
