Tea And A Butty

We're baaaack.  After a somewhat annoying end to the year which included  a computer hard drive that died, taking with it a few pre-recorded  podcasts, among other projects, we've taken a breath, and a little break  to regroup, and we're starting this new year afresh with a new series  for you all.  And yes , if you guessed that it's a food series, you guessed right,...

Our sixth podcast finds us talking about Christmas movies. We discuss  which movies are especially popular in the UK, as well as which movies  Americans tend to favor.  Are they the same or are there popular films  in Britain that we Americans have never heard of?  They show A Christmas  Story for 24 hours on television during Christmas in the United States,  but...

 There was recently a poll of Magic Radio listeners to determine  Britain's list of the Top Twelve Christmas songs of all time.  Who  topped the list, and did we agree?  Today we're talking about Christmas  music from Britain and America: How do the countries' Christmas tunes  differ?  Are there songs that are popular in one country but not in the  othe...

 This episode is all about biscuits! Now, if you're American, you're  thinking about the delicious fluffy bread with a somewhat crispy outside  that we eat with sausage and gravy, or sometimes honey, or sometimes  fruity jam (I said "jam" purposefully for our British readers/listeners,  as "jelly" means something entirely different for them.), but if that  is indeed w...

 In our premiere podcast episode,  Dominic and I spill the tea about, well ...  tea!  We talk about all things tea-related in Britain and America and  how tea varies in each of our countries.  Can you get iced tea at  restaurants in Britain?  Are you supposed to put milk in Earl Grey?  Is  tea-drinking still as popular in Britain as it once was?&nb...
