Episode 2.29: The annual festival pilgrimage
It's our favourite time of year. It isn't Christmas (which comes in a close second) but the glory that is festival season. We always wait until August to get going to our favourite (Reading) and this week you'll mostly be finding us knee deep in mosh pits, tents and Barcardi Oakheart. It's all we...

Episode 2.28: Who wants a Blue WKD?
Summer time is a time for frolicking through fields, lying on blustery British beaches and picking insects out of lovingly handmade sandwiches. If you are normal or in a Endi Blyton novel that is. If you are us, you'll probably be daydreaming about that time you out off your box on 3 bottles of...
-
Episode 2.27: Results won't kill you
Guess who's back, back again. Tell your friends. Also your exes, neighbours, Grannies and everyone on your Facebook friends list. We took a little holiday (everyone needs one right?), and now we are back with a refreshed outlook on life and indeed podcasting. As well as all the usual stuff, we…

Episode 2.26: HTCLive x 1
We decided to play fast and loose with convention this week, and instead of meticulous planning and razor sharp editing we decided to grab some gin, our laptops and take a Friday night live slot on Mixlr. For those of you who tuned in live last week, then grab a tea and enjoy it again. For those…

Episode 2.25: Sam v Lea
Oh for a pub quiz. A bottle of wine, good friends and endless questions that we don't really know the answer to. From quiz shows, board games and phone apps we cannot get ENOUGH of answering obscure questions so we decided to do one on the podcast. We invited our good friend Dee to set the...
-
Episode 2.24: In the air
We all love holidays. Sam has just come back off hers and is currently navigating the Tube with death in her eyes, fading sunburn and a sinking feeling that she probably has many months before she can get away again. Lea however still has it all to come, so is feeling pretty smug. So before a…

Episode 2.23: Summer loving
Summer summer summer tiiiiiime. It's a right about now, in almost mid-June that you should get your Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince on and start wishing for those long, hot and hazy Summer days. We love summer - sort of. Despite being pale girls, there is nothing like a cheeky Magnum, weekend BBQ...
-
Episode 2.22: Get your health on
It's fair to say that healthy living has really been on our mids in 2015. We've covered all sorts of topics and interviewed lots of people in this subject area and you've been telling us that you love it! So we invited friend of Tea Towers Laura Agar Wilson over for a Skype chat to give us her...
-
Episode 2.21: Mornings are difficult
Depending on your viewpoint, mornings are either the inner circle of hell or the start of something beautiful. It seems that you are either a morning person or not, but we'd quite like to get better at mornings so we took to YouTube to get some inspiration. We weren't exactly inspired but we did...
-
Episode 2.20: Putting stuff in gin
You don't have to have been listening that long to know that we like to think of ourselves as booze aficionados. We can drink it, we can mix it, we can buy it and we've even had a go at infusing it. But we are not the experts at that last one. So instead we found a comedian who happens to have a...
-
Episode 2.19: The five year plan
Ever felt stuck in a rut? We have too. But bearing in mind you spend more hours at work than you do at home or elsewhere it's probably about time we sorted ourselves out. Life is too short to have a career that makes your dread Monday morning, so we've set about creating an easy to follow plan....
-
Episode 2.18: Blurt it out
Since we started the podcast and blog, we've always endeavoured to not only bring you content that will make you howl out loud or choke on your cuppa, but also content that will educate, inform and inspire. Wellbeing and health content has remained consistently popular with you guys, so we wanted...
-
Episode 2.17: Giving away a budgie
We know what it is like to be a frustrated artist. You know we've been doing our thang over here for nearly four years and well - where is all the fame and fortune we were promised? But despite these major feels, we CANNOT understand why some of our fellow artistes (we're looking at you Nicki...
-
Episode 2.16: Hello Fitty
We sort of got a bit serious this week (but obviously in our own special way - there are still vagina jokes and white wine and all of the usual things). We invited our friend Dee, the politics enthusiast, to educate us all about turning up and ticking boxes for the election. Listen to this...
-
Episode 2.15: Do you suffer from Instagram envy?
The biggest question on our lips this week are where are the twins from Fun House and who comes out of drama school wanting to be a witch surrounded by puppets. And further to this, why call a kids TV show T-Bag?! Britain in the 80s...it was a scary scary place. Another scary place these days is...
-
Episode 2.14: Swear words and how to use them
Ever since Episode 1, we've had the big fat explicit sign on out podcast doors. We're a bit rude and a lot sweary but we've decided that now might be the time to reflect on our use of those naughty words. Are we desensitised? Are we just truly horrible people? Will anyone be surprised to find out...
-
Episode 2.13: What's in my mouth?
We've spoke of Lea's gag reflex a lot recently (just go back a couple of episodes and you'll hear why), but neither of us imagined what would happen if we filmed ourselves putting things in each other's mouths. Easy now soldier. We mean food and drink! You know we'll do anything for a laugh so…
more -
Episode 2.12: Brunch is the new Afternoon Tea
We loves us a meal which is mid-morning, contains bacon and gives you a bottomless alcoholic drink. The trend for brunch is strong is this one, and we've decided we prefer it to afternoon tea. Stay tuned for very much brunch reviews in the future. One another note, we're not really doing so well…
more -
Episode 2.11: Keep it cool, calm and collected
I don't know what it is about us, but every now and then the topic of porn culture arises. And not in the way that you expect. Let's just say, don't ever admit you don't know what a famous porno is about. Because you'll get told. And you'll be sad. If that doesn't relax you, then our tips about…

Episode 2.10: The north south divide
What's an accent between friends? Whilst our slightly generic/cockney/rural London accents have been recorded for your aural pleasure for many years, we thought it was time to explore what was beyond Watford and go North to see what lies within. Who better to take us on a magical mystery tour of...
-
Episode 2.9: Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
When Tammy Wynette sang those immortal worlds she didn't know how right she'd got it. Boobs, periods, childcare all of the things - let along those modern things like careers and stuff. But this week we're celebrating International Women's Day with a good old dose of real talk. As well as a rant,...
-
Episode 2.8: A very middle class problem
Have you ever had a slight suspicion that the problem that is driving you barmy is actually pretty first world? It's alright, we've all been there and what with ranting about our food boxes and what not, we're coming across as decidedly middle class. Good job we brought it right down to earth…
more -
Episode 2.7: How long is a zombie apocalypse?
We've all thought about it. How we could survive a zombie attack. ARE WE RIGHT? We'd go up high to avoid the whole being eaten alive thing. Surely we could wait it out? The only problem is, if you are watching something like The Walking Dead, the zombie apocalypse is going to last forever (or…

Episode 2.6 - Vaccinated In The USA
Sometimes we get things wrong. Granted it isn't often, but this week begins with much discussion on what happens when a burlesque dance goes wrong (you style it out and shake your tits) and whether you need injections to visit America (pro tip - you don't). It's alright though. As mentioned in…

Episode 2.5: Ask Team Tea
What a fun packed month January has been - and we are back for more weekly shenanigans in February. We are getting right at home in our new weekly slot, and getting our feet under the proverbial podcast table. So much so that we decided this week to introduce you to a Thomas the Tank Engine spoof...
-
Episode 2.4 - What's a porno anyway?
Have you ever wanted to know what the bad porno pun of "You've Got Mail?". No we didn't either, but guess what, we found it and shared that and many many others with you. Google can be a brilliant place if you try hard enough. If that didn't jump start you out of your Blue Monday bad mood, we've...
-
Episode 2.3: Peace up, A town down
We took a left turn into the 90s this week with a slight beatbox-off of RnB classics. Nelly, Usher and R Kelly? We've got them all, and we've got the impersonated badly. It's the remix to ignition don't you know. But aside from that we've got some pretty major road trips to plan and that needs…
more -
Episode 2.2: Fascists, feathers and fat shaming
On an average Monday morning, you'll find us googling where to find ostrich feathers and still nursing a hangover from two days previous. We are classy like that. But I guess it just goes to show that whenever you tune in, you are never going to quite know what shenanigans we are going to bring…
more -
Episode 2.1: No really, this is the comeback
The last six months have been a lesson in silence. Well our silence, probably not yours. Because if you've been silent for the last six months, we've got entirely different issues. But we digress. We took six months off of iTunes to recharge and generally sort our shit out, and now we are back to...
-
Episode 30: Top Tips For An Awesome Life
What happens when you put two Team Tea members in a field in a hailstorm whilst watching The Backstreet Boys? They get all philosophical that's what. Summer isn't usually a time for resolutions, but we've decide that it is our podcast so it's our rules. We're stressed, we're tired and we have...
-
Episode 29: It Looks Like A Comeback
If it looks like a comeback and sounds like a comeback then it probably is a comeback. Sort of by accident we've ended up taking a FOUR MONTH hiatus whilst we got our grown up shit in order. This includes buying a house, moving house, turning 31, going on lots of dates, doing important day job...
-
Episode 28: Last Night A DJ Saved Our Lives
Ever wanted your actual real job to allow you to dress as flamboyantly as possible, creating a character for a night or two and then helping the audience dance the night away? Us too. Sadly, we cannot but we can live vicariously through those that do. Thanks goodness then that in this podcast we...
-
Episode 27: New Year, New Start
I don't think any of us expected to get to 2014 and 27 episodes still podcasting. If we take you back to episode one, you'll know it was a chance encounter, and a drunken promise which essentially gave birth to The High Tea Cast. We've been interviewing amazing people, listening to epic music and...
-
Episode 26: Don't Let The Bells End
Tea Towers loves us a bit of Crimbo magic, and we are personally adorned with tinsel and glitter, even more so now we are in advent and on the official countdown to the big day. But this isn't just about one day, it;s about celebrating the month of December in style, and our contributors will be...
-
Episode 25: Those Autumn Leaves
Those Autumn leaves they are a-changing, the season is getting cooler and the rain is pouring down...and to be honest we love it! Autumn is our favourite season and we are making the most of those long Autumnal days before the clocks go back and the days get dark. And sad. The politicians and…

Episode 24: Black Eyes & Bee Stings
Back we went to the big old field with a rucksack on our back. And a tent that leaked. And wellies that split. And all the wasps in all the world that just wanted to sting us. It seemed that even more so than Taylor Swift we just wanted to attract trouble at this years' Reading Festival so we…
more -
Episode 23: It's Like Baby Baby
Life got a little bit strange this month. As in the world imploded, people did bad things, people said terrible things and Lea sat in the sun. Aslso this month, the BBC discussed a future Queens' vagina and Kay Burleigh was a moron. At least we stay the same each month yeah? As usual we'll be...
-
Episode 22: Home Away From Home
Well it has been a busy old month, and although we've been away from home, we have in fact just been visiting what we call our home away from home - that is right, the British Summer Festival. Whether it's a bucket list tick off, the cool thing to do or a place to just get seriously dirty, we…
more -
Episode 21: You're Simply The Best
We are nearly two years old. I repeat, we are nearly two years old. No one is as shocked about this as we are, and when we took a trip down memory lane we couldn't believe some of the stuff that came out of our mouths and into a podcast. Well. In amongst all of that we've whipped up interviews…

Episode 20: Things Beginning With Spring
Spring has sprung and we are all over this crazy new fangled thing called sunshine. We've drunk cider in the park, got planting tomatoes and even bared our legs to the elements all in the hope of getting closer to the season they call summer. But lots of things begin with Spring. Like travel to…

Episode 19: What's A Bucket List?
We've got a confession to make. Something went really wrong last month. We spoke at a sex conference, worked too many hours, moved to London (Lea) and got very much older with a hugely special big Birthday (Sam). Despite planning and planning, sometimes the best plans are derailed and somewhere...
-
Episode 18: Love & Pancakes
Is February the best month of the year? After the shock and downright horror of January where we were fifty shades of blue, February seems pretty awesome. It's the month of love whether we like it or not and we also get to gorge ourselves on pancakes. What with it being the shortest month of the...
-
Episode 17: January Blues
It's the start of another year - we survived the apocalypse, we got through Christmas and didn't turn into a bottle of Bailey's and we made it through New Year celebrations intact. So why the long face? Well January is officially the year's worst month, and we've turned all shades of blue just...
-
Episode 16: Jingle Bell Rock
HTC towers is adorned with tinsel and glitter, even more so now we are in advent and on the official countdown to the big day. That is right, whether the X Factor will get the Christmas Number One. No we jest, what we mean is that extra special day where you give pressies, eat a lot and get merry...
-
Episode 15: Events, Parties & Socialites
It's almost the most wonderful time of the year - as you'll well know, we are huge Christmas fans here at Tea Towers, but we've got another month at least of cold wet weather, freezing fog and dark mornings to get through until we can break out the tinsel. Never fear though! There is plenty to…

Episode 14: Get Crafty
Sorry dear listeners and readers. Just. Sorry. We disappeared in September, and it wasn't because we got too drunk at Reading Festival (well we did, but that is another story) or because we don't love you. We were handed our very own super swish radio show over on Hoxton Radio, and we had to prep...
-
Episode 13: Happy Birthday
It's been a long old year, and if you've stuck with us from the beginning, you'll be feeling it too. It is our bumper packed birthday celebration episode. We are in fact a little over one years old, and episode 13 will be supremely lucky for us all. As we embark on the second year of broadcasting...
-
Episode 12: Penny Pinching
We know how it feels when you look at your bank statements in horror - we are skint too. But it is ok, because our podcast is here to help your money woes. If it is an addiction to ASOS.com or a rather hefty bill bar you've got going on, if you are struggling to find a job or you just want to…

Episode 11: Life is a Cabaret
You'll know if you listened to the podcast, attended one of our events or read this here blog that we love burlesque. The theatre, the cabaret, the beauty, the talent, and well the boobs - we think it is all rather special. The London burlesque scene has never been more exciting, and with…

Episode 10: The Luck Of The Irish
We've been making it quite clear for some time, but it is true. We love the Irish. The music, the bars, the booze, the accent, the food and the rolling hills. So why not record a little episode on one of the greatest passions of The High Tea Cast? If you enjoy the jingle jangle of the tin whistle...
