Hello Bes-tea!

 @HelloBesteaPodcast 

Happy Tuesday bes-teas! Today we are pulling back the curtain on how we bring this show to you every week. Are you thinking of starting a podcast? If so, you are in the right place! We discuss how to choose a niche (or not), basic equipment that you need to get started and what it’s really like going into business with a friend. Stay tuned for a game of ‘Pick Your Poison’. If you have any questions or would like more detailed information on how we podcast, email us at [email protected].

Hey bes-teas! It’s the last Tuesday of the month so you know what that means…book club! Today we are discussing our thoughts on The Fury by Alex Michaelides. We hope you’ve been reading along but in case you haven’t, this book is a thriller about a group of friends (one of whom is a famous movie star) who visit a private Greek island over a holiday weekend - and one of them doesn’t make it out alive. Let us know your thoughts about The Fury at [email protected].

Hey bes-teas! The holidays are quickly approaching and we want this season to be as stress free as possible for you. So, this week your girls are sharing a holiday checklist for you to start working on now (like, right now) along with some things we each do to make our holidays run smoothly. It’s been a while, so we’re busting out a game of Bad Opinions to wrap up - you won’t want to miss it! Are you feeling prepared for the holidays? Let us know at [email protected].

Hey Bes-teas! If you’ve been keeping up, you know that your girls live in Florida and have gone through Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton recently. Since our hurricane season lasts from June 1 through November 30, we thought it would be an ideal time to share our experience going through back to back hurricanes, and how we prep for these natural disasters. Sharing is caring, links below for a few of the products that we discussed. What is in your hurricane prep kit? Let us know at [email protected]

@HelloBesteaPodcast  Do you know what today is? It’s our anniversary! Fix yourself a glass of Witches Brew (recipe below) and toast it up with us to one year of podcasting! In true bes-tea fashion, we are having our annual Halloween Carnival and chatting a bit about what we’ve learned in our first year of podcasting. For our book club bes-teas, this month’s book selection was Episode Thirteen by Craig DiLouie so you know we are spilling the tea on that. Did you read it? Let us know your thoughts at [email protected]. Cheers to one year bes-teas, and have a very safe and Happy Halloween!

*Witches Brew Recipe: https://becentsational.com/witches-brew/

For a kid friendly version, mix the alcohol and replace with Polar Blast Hawaiian Punch. It won’t come out quite as purple, but the color is still fun and the kids will love it!

Welcome back bes-teas! We’re in the Halloween spirit and to get this episode kicked off, Tashima reads a scary short story (cue Dracula music). We then share a few fun facts about Halloween and conclude with a very enlightening discussion about nursery rhymes. You know, the ones we’ve heard since childhood and have sung to our own children. Well, you may be surprised to learn that many of them stem from very dark roots…find out which ones.

Did you know the history behind some of these children’s songs? Tell us about it at [email protected]

Hey bes-teas! Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know that Hurricane Milton is making its way toward Florida. As a result, your bes-teas are in full preparation mode and had to pause on getting this week’s original episode out. Never fear though, we are re-releasing our first ever episode about Halloween so if you haven’t already seen or listened to it, you are in for a treat! We’ve got some fun Halloween episodes planned for you all month, so please bear with us as we literally weather the storm. Enjoy, stay safe, and we’ll catch you next week!

@HelloBesteaPodcast

Happy Tuesday bes-teas! We’re back on the couch this week and getting kicked off with an interesting hypothetical question: If you had one minute to telepathically say anything to everyone in the world, what would it be? Spoiler: people had some hilarious responses to this! 

Next, we share a thread from the Mildly Infuriating Reddit group about a man who left a 10% tip to a server for poor service and was called cheap. We also share a confession from a cashier who attempted to do a good deed by giving a customer an item for free. We then shift into a dating convo that poses two questions: do you think that people unconsciously block their own happiness when dating? And would you complete a pre-marriage program on a dating app?

We wrap up with a round of It’s Kind of a Funny Story. Let us know your thoughts at [email protected].

Catch you on the couch next week!
