Tea Time with Ali Monjack

🚀✨ Welcome to 2025 and the revival of my Tea Time Podcast! ✨☕

This year, I’ve decided to breathe new life into the podcast that means so much to me. As someone fortunate enough to work in PR and communications, I’m constantly inspired by the incredible people I meet and collaborate with. 💡🌟

That’s why I’m thrilled to share Tea Time with you—a space for meaningful conversations with inspirational guests. Each month, I’ll bring you stories that give insight into how these changemakers have touched lives and made a difference. 🌍💬

📌 Kicking off the 2025 season is none other than the brilliant composer Phillip Lawrence 🎼🎺 With over four decades in music, Phil has touched hearts worldwide. One of his most iconic orchestral works celebrated the Centenary of the RAF—a masterpiece of sound and storytelling. 🎵✈️

My next guests are actors Jake Ferretti and Serena Manteghi who have been on tour with The award-winning Original Theatre Company production of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

They talk about the experience of adjusting to different roles, their comic timing, and the up-and-coming live stream which is another art form in itself…… So what next for the dynamic duo?!
