In this podcast, we're talking about the ITV/PBS series, Victoria,  which is based on the life of Queen Victoria.  This season is airing in  the U.S. before it airs in the U.K. and people in Britain are not happy  about it.  Do Americans just like the British royal family more than  Brits, or is there another reason for its early broadcast in the United  States?&...

In the last episode of this series, we're discussing pubs: how and where  to order food, the kinds of foods you can find in pubs, who actually  owns the pub, and more.  What's the difference between a pub and a bar?   What's the American equivalent of British "pub culture"?  Dominic does  his best to try and convince us all that a drink called a Woo Woo  act...

In our latest installment, we're discussing British and American fast  food chains.  From A&W to KFC to McDonald's to Taco Bell, the list  of U.S. fast food chains seems endless.  In fact, there are way too many  for us to cover them all in a 30-minute podcast.  But again, the list  of UK chains is minuscule with Wimpy* being one of the more famous  ones...

Our latest podcast finds us talking about chain restaurants in America  and the UK.  Erica lets visitors to the UK know what they can expect  when ordering a drink with their meal in a chain restaurant in Britain.   For the love of God, what do the British have against ice?!  Are there  any restaurants whose popularity stretches across the Atlantic?  And why...

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...

This podcast is all about how Christmas traditions differ between the  United States and Great Britain.  When and how is the season kicked off  in each country?  What do American children and British children  traditionally leave out for Santa?  And what the heck are Christmas  crackers?  Also, Erica invites any and everyone who goes caroling (and  does...

Our latest podcast is all about desserts!  We're talking about  everything from British staples like Sticky Toffee Pudding and Eton Mess  to American go-to's such as Apple Pie and Brownies.  Also, Dominic  drops a major bombshell on me by revealing he had never eaten Banana  Pudding before he came to America!  What exactly is Angel Delight and  Blancmange?&n...

 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...
