"Why didn't you lead with that!” - The Rashawn Nadine Scott Interview
Content warning: Two uncensored uses of a racial slur (1:02:15 & 1:02:51) in the context of a story about our guest experiencing racism while performing. This week, Candace the Magnificent and Jeremy Cobb are joined by actor, performer, and comedian Rashawn Nadine Scott! The Halflings chat with Rashawn about her journey as a performer, from growing up playing in bands to her love of musicals and acting, and how those early creative influences shaped her voice, confidence, and approach to performance. They also dive into wider conversations around TV and storytelling, including Heated Rivalry, alongside how Rashawn first discovered Dungeons & Dragons and what drew her into the world of actual play. The episode explores her experiences working with Dropout and her time on Burrow’s End, as well as the collaborative nature of tabletop storytelling. Along the way, The Halflings discuss navigating the industry as a performer, the realities of live performance, and the importance of community, representation, and creating spaces where people feel seen and supported. This episode ends with Rashawn's 'sauce based', pun filled Tale from the Table.

“Trust and Trauma” - Black Community and Mental Health Part 2
This week! Liv Kennedy, Candace the Magnificent and Jeremy Cobb are joined once again by the wonderful Perry Clark and Sekayi Edwards for Part 2 of their Black History Month mental health conversation, and the final episode of this year’s Black History Month series. Together, they dive into the Black community’s relationship with therapy, what it really takes to build trust between patients and practitioners, and the growing concerns around AI in mental health spaces and what may be lost when human connection is removed. They also reflect on generational trauma, the realities of healing work, and how families and communities can help POC children recognise and process racism in ways that empower rather than silence. A candid, necessary, and deeply human conversation to round out this year’s Black History Month discussions.

“Worthy of Belonging” - Intersectional Storytelling Roundtable
This week! As part of Black History Month’s centenary year, Jeremy Cobb and Candace the Magnificent welcome a powerful panel into the Halfling Stadium: Amihan “The Rose Cleric” , Aetherius Bordeaux, “Lamia” Cassie Walker and Queon Story. Marking 100 years of Black History Month, the conversation centres on the challenges of existing in the TTRPG space while telling authentic stories as a Person of Colour. Together, they unpack the spicy realities of the industry, including visibility at tables, who gets platformed, tokenism, structural barriers, and the uneven ladder of success. All four guests are storytellers in their own right, and the episode highlights how they interweave heritage, lived experience, and creativity into their work. From Black storytelling traditions to the responsibility of building inclusive spaces, this roundtable reflects on the weight and the beauty of carrying culture into fantasy, and what it truly means to uplift other POC creatives. Halflings, do not forget. Friday 13th February, 8pm, London Carlisle runs Harlem Unbound live on the Three Black Halflings Twitch for a charity charity stream you won’t want to miss.
