Tea And A Butty

 There was recently a poll of Magic Radio listeners to determine  Britain's list of the Top Twelve Christmas songs of all time.  Who  topped the list, and did we agree?  Today we're talking about Christmas  music from Britain and America: How do the countries' Christmas tunes  differ?  Are there songs that are popular in one country but not in the  other?  Find out the answers to all these questions, and which songs are  on our own personal lists of the top Christmas songs of all time in our  latest podcast. 

 This episode is all about biscuits! Now, if you're American, you're  thinking about the delicious fluffy bread with a somewhat crispy outside  that we eat with sausage and gravy, or sometimes honey, or sometimes  fruity jam (I said "jam" purposefully for our British readers/listeners,  as "jelly" means something entirely different for them.), but if that  is indeed what you're thinking, you'd be wrong!  Because today, we're  talking about British biscuits, which are actually what we Americans  call cookies!  That's right, we'll be discussing Hobnobs and Jammie  Dodgers (like those pictured above) and everything in between.  We'll  also be comparing and contrasting British and American cookies.  Here's  the ultimate question though: cookies or biscuits?  Let us know down in  the comments! 

 In our premiere podcast episode,  Dominic and I spill the tea about, well...  tea!  We talk about all things tea-related in Britain and America and  how tea varies in each of our countries.  Can you get iced tea at  restaurants in Britain?  Are you supposed to put milk in Earl Grey?  Is  tea-drinking still as popular in Britain as it once was?  We discuss all  these things and more in our very first podcast!  Let us know in the  comments below if you're a tea drinker, and if so, how you take it.
