11. Victoria on PBS/ITV
22/01/2019 Duración: 32minIn 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? And just how factual is this series anyway? Was Queen Victoria actually as attractive as actress Jenna Coleman? Was Prince Albert as forward thinking as he is portrayed in this series, or was he more like his portrayal in Blackadder's Christmas Carol? So. Many. Questions! But, we're determined to get to the bottom of it. Tune in and then let us know if you watch this show, and if so, what you think about it. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teaandabutty/support

10. Pubs (Food Series #4)
22/01/2019 Duración: 41minIn 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 actually exists. But, whether it does or not, should you expect to be able to order one in a typical pub? We try our best to answer all your burning questions in our tenth podcast. Tweet us, Facebook us or let us know in the comments whether your local pub has lasagna and or chicken tikka masala on the menu! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teaandabutty/support

9. Fast Food (Food Series #3)
22/01/2019 Duración: 35minIn 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. Have we finally answered the question as to why there are no British fast food chains in America? Tune in to find out. And let us know in the comments, or tweet or Facebook us, whether you like to eat fast food, and if so, which restaurant(s) is your favorite? *After recording this podcast, we learned that Wimpy was actually originally an American chain that started in Chicago, but over time all of its American locations closed. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teaandabutty/support

8. Chain Restaurants (Food Series #2)
22/01/2019 Duración: 31minOur 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 are there so many more chains in the United States than in Britain?

7. Foods Hard To Find In The US & UK (Food Series #1)
22/01/2019 Duración: 36minWe'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, because everyone knows we apparently love talking about nothing else, the way we love talking about food! In the first episode of this series we'll discuss American foods you'll have a hard time finding in Britain and vice versa. Never visited a grocery store in another country? You don't know what you're missing. We highly recommend adding a trip to a local supermarket as part of your next travel itinerary, just don't expect to find root beer in the UK or prawn cocktail crisps in America. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teaandabutt

6. Christmas Movies
22/01/2019 Duración: 28minOur 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 is it as popular in the UK? Also, Dominic and I discuss our personal favorite Christmas flicks. We want to know your top favorite Christmas movies. Let us know in the comment section below or, as always, tweet, Instagram, or Facebook us. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teaandabutty/support
