241 – A Tea Party with George Orwell and Douglas Adams
About this episode
The episode features a discussion about tea and biscuits inspired by essays from George Orwell and Douglas Adams.
Things have been crazy in the last few weeks, so let’s have a nice relaxing cup of tea with two great authors who wrote essays about Britain’s most beloved beverage: George Orwell and Douglas Adams. I will be reading what they had to say, sharing a cup of tea with you, and ranking my favorite British biscuits to serve with tea. Please vote on whether or not you all prefer to dunk biscuits or nibble on them separately from your tea, whether Bourbon Creams or Custard Creams are nicer, and how many minutes steeping produces the correct brew. Try sharing these brilliantly written articles with teenagers, and then encourage them to write their own remarks on the *PROPER* way to do a common task! See the full livestream here:
