Happy Friday, friends in podcast land! It's time for a brand new episode of the comedy history podcast that answers such burning questions as what is the best alternative to saying ''yes? How can you get out of cross country running? And the classic: how do you take your tea?

Join Annie for an American sports history story over in Tennessee. One little African American girl is overcoming the hurdles of a terrible medical record to smash some records at the Olympics.

Then Andrea is over in India, where the British are fighting wars and smashing rebellions. We Brits have one local man to thank for our knowledge and love of Assam tea, unfortunately, the British East India Company aren't too keen on his entrepreneurial spirit.
