  • Spilling Tea With Meagan!

    Spilling Tea With Meagan!
    Nov 18 2025

    While Meagan’s loved drinking tea for a long time, lately she’s gotten really, really - we mean, really into it. In this episode we uncover some surprising things you may not know about tea (what’s the actual difference between white, green, oolong, and black tea? How did it become such a popular drink in the Western world? Are herbal “teas” really tea?) while Meagan encourages people who think they don’t like tea to try again - with better tea this time. Meagan also shares more about the process she’s going through to become a Certified Tea Sommelier, as well as what’s coming up for her tea company Bevy and her new tea-adjacent YouTube channel.

  • Better Living Through Television!

    Better Living Through Television!
    Nov 11 2025

    Sarah takes a methodical approach to TV-watching and clocks an impressive number of series each year, while Meagan enjoys random docu-series and the occasional BBC binge - but, we both love television! In this episode we each unpack our watching habits, share some shows we’ve loved (and some we could have lived without), and discuss our television goals for 2026.
