Tea and Chat - just the ticket

Last week we recieved a donation from Stephen Kilbride. I wasn't familiar with him and his work at the time so investigated. It turns out he is not only a podcast junkie but that he also does his own podcast - "Tea and Chat". It does what it says on the tin - Stephen tries a different type of tea and gives us his thoughts and then moves on to interviewing someone of note and rounds it all of with a film review.

This sort of thing only really works if the guy behind the microphone is any good, many are the podcasts where I have found myself turning off through lack of interest. This is definitely not the case here. Stephen has a great voice for this sort of thing, very easy to listen too and he compliments this with an intelligent and well researched interview, which is also well produced. If the first episode is anything to go by he is going to be getting some superb guests, as none other than Chris Lester of Metamor City fame was the interviewed. Stephen did a great job too drawing out several bits and bobs I had not heard about before.

If you have space on your mp3 player fill it up with a bit of Tea and Chat - you won't be sorry.
