  • Tea from the sea.

    Love this show! I just got literal goosebumps when I learnt about tea from the sea vs. chai by land. Goosebumps. From a fact. I got goosebumps from a fact. If you’re so weird you get goosebumps from facts then you will love this show too!

  • Funny and relatable

    Lots of adults writing reviews on this podcast moaning about the very small amount of swearing.

    Note the word ADULTS above. Maybe consider growing up before writing a review complaining about 3 people speaking in a perfectly normal way?

    It’s a good pod, interesting and funny.
