About

The Podcast

TeaBD is the podcast about tea and friendship! Hosts—and best buds—Matt Aromando and Emily Riggins invite their friends onto the show to discuss that week’s topic over a cup of tea. The trick is that only the guest knows their topic ahead of time (it’s TBD)! Subscribe »

TeaBD is also on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Teas

Each week on the podcast, Matt & Emily try out a new tea with their guests. Get their honest reactions to many different kinds of teas from many different brands. View teas »

Topics

Every episode of TeaBD has a different topic (and possibly a second, mini-topic). These cover pretty much everything: movies, music, social situations, memories, feeling, and on and on. Going into each episode, the topic is a mystery to all but one person. If a guest brings in the topic, Matt & Emily don’t know what it is. If Matt or Emily has a topic, the other host (as well as the guests) are in the dark. View topics »

Guests

Episodes

Most episodes of TeaBD feature Matt & Emily and a guest. Some episodes are a Matt & Emily Alone edition where they don’t have a guest. Every few months, TeaBD records an extra-special episode, such as The Summer Spectacular and the Hot Toddy Fall Spectacular with more to come! View episodes »

Emily Riggins
