A Valley Must!

Love this podcast… amazing poetry, fascinating interviews and - as someone who lives in the Valley - an absolute must!

SocCal Mick ,

Easygoing and accessable, yet literary. No kidding.

The Meat for Tea podcast is as relaxed and pretentious as their zine. The hosts make me feel like I've dropped by for a spot of tea and good conversation with Elizabeth and Michael. It's a welcoming atmosphere, and I love hearing the featured artists read their work.

Smart and engaging explorations of creative people’s art and the process and thinking that shape it. Passionate and heartfelt. The hosts are pros and the audio production is great. It’s really a soothing listen. Good vibes.
