Stay ConnectedLady Audaci-Tea is the podcast where two friends do a healthy amount of spiraling on everything from Amanda’s literal degree in history and metaphorical one in British Royal history, and Alex’s thesis on why Kate and William are the royal parallel to Summer House’s Amanda and Kyle and more. Oh, and Rolodex knowledge of BRF Pop culture history.
Join us every other week for the audaci-tea of it all.

In this episode we have an important announcement about Lady Audaci-Tea’s future, and a lot of politics.
As far as the politics? Blame the royals and Time Magazine. We discuss William’s meeting with Trump, and Kate’s place in the short-list for Time’s Person of the Year. Plus, 2025 Royal predictions.

It’s 12 days since the election and we are still...well, you read the title of the episode.
So, where do we find our chuckles and laughs? From the whirlwind of Royal news that has been happening the last two weeks, of course! Whether it’s explosive duchy reveals, questionable event planning, or even more questionable tactics to get out of hot water, the royals delivered during a dark time. And we? We chatted and laughed about it. Join us this week for a loooottt of tea!

In this week's episode we get into multiple puzzling statements that have you wondering in your best Porsha voice: who said that?
A banana article that is a prime example of the British press trying to make a story, instead of simply reporting a story. The post-funeral briefing war. A daily mail exclusive that got shot down by a Telegraph exclusive. Last but not least, a deep dive into the Norwegian wedding that was a grifting, fairytale, wedding.
Pinkies up!

We’re back!
Despite a couple months of a slow news cycle, the royals came in fierce the last couple weeks with news. We’ve got a banana article by Alex’s problematic fave, Tom Sykes, thanks to William’s friends who have some interesting takes on the Sussex’s Colombia tour. Robert Jobson’s new book about Kate, which, ‘….makes his role as an impartial biographer rather suspect.’ Not my words, but Alexander Larman, from The Sunday Times. The Sussex’s Colombia tour, and all things tour fashion.
We deep-dived in a serious topic, the attack, then racist riots that followed, that happened in the UK in the beginning of August. Which was followed by a response from King Charles that took some pressure. We discuss if it’s up to par, and if it really showcases the modern and diverse monarchy, we’ve been told he and William strive to be.
Along with some more things, we covered our bases for a packed episode of all thing's royals.
Pinkies up!

This week’s episode we had the fabulous Meghan Ely, a PR and public relations expert and long-time royal fan on to discuss the last month of PR blunders from KP.
Not only did we dig deep on how KP lost the plot, but had some confessions about H&M’s own comms blunders. As Tamra Judge would say: IT’S MY OPINION.
This was pre Kate announcing she has cancer, so we don’t discuss that topic in this episode- nor regret anything said.

This weeks episode we covered the phenomenon that was the internet and American presses reaction to Kate Middleton’s two months (and counting) absence from public life. We got memes. We got conspiracy theories. We got write-ups. We got an annoyed Press Secretary reacting. Friends briefing Tom Sykes. All in all, the usual, with a sprinkle of the unusual.
For some reason the computer picked up the wrong audio for Amanda, so her audio isn’t as clean as it usually is. So please forgive us, and hopefully, still enjoy!

Dog food 👏🏽 Health Scares 👏🏽 Podcast 👏🏽 Titles. Royal Watching has not let up with stories to discuss and dissect. Like Harry’s 26 hours in the UK to visit his father. A choice we think has everything to do with wanting to see his father after getting devastating news, ALONG, with a very smart power-play when it comes to his own work.
We got health updates that some were on the ‘up and up’, while others are, well, not. And what that could mean for the monarchy and the people in it.

After a much needed break, Lady Audaci-Tea is back! My partner in crime is down bad with a cold for the recording, but I held it down with the latest royal news. Lilibet! Coverups! Health news!

I pick her brain about an array of topics and she gives us much needed history to everything we discuss.
Join us for an exciting Lady Audaci-Tea episode. And remember, pinkies up!

’Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town?’
Queue Vitamin D’s middle school graduation anthem, ‘Graduation’, for a 2023 send-off. We saw titles dropped for new and improved ones. BRF White saviorship combatting those pesky memories of colonization their name-sakes created and enabled.
Royal fashion that gave everything from angelic to linebacker, and some Royal MVP’s who are advocating for real change, and one for just being a cutie.
Join us for our last episode of 2023! And a demand ya’ll stay safe out there. ❤️

In this episode Amanda and I breakdown the hysterical headlines behind Endgame. With a Banana’s article influenced by the Translation Travesty of 2023.
The onslaught of, ‘it’s worst to be named a racist, rather than be one’, narrative being tossed around by royal rota media outlets, and morning talk shows, that lambasted the aftermath of the (alleged) royals who showed concerned about Archie’s skin-tone.
Plus, one of my favorite things; Amanda doing a deep-dive on royal history that is relevant today.

We went over the who, what, and O-M-G moments of the Byline Times article.
We also talked about the Kenya trip. Viral moments, some history, western foolery, and the deep-seeded racism dressed up in medleys and tropes Dr. Robin DiAngelo coined as ‘nice racism’.

In this episode we explored a recent story- the Middletons, like their rich & royal-counterparts, using tax dollars to pay their bills, and the laminated poster bandit that’s causing havoc at the ‘first families’ Bucklebury village. 🤔 Royal Rota and conservative media have opted for word choices like ‘abuse’ and ‘harassment’ when describing the post.Amanda and I, though, think that’s a bit (huge) overreaction.
We also get into something serious, Nazism. Specifically, a 2015 Sun article with footage of three future monarchs doing the Nazi salute in 1933. I know, especially right now, this is an extremely sensitive topic. I explain why I’m covering this story, that portion begins and ends between, 33:47 - 48:50.
But don’t worry, we left off on a note that is ‘interesting’ (Everette) ‘horrible’ (Amanda) ‘Victoria’s treat’ (Alex) when talking about the urban legend, Prince Albert’s (rumored) Prince Albert.
It’s a packed spooky episode with some tricks and treats!

On this weeks very special episode, Meredith came back for an update on our Dirty Dan segment! She delivered some huge updates, that just maybe, point to some sort of justice could come out of this. 👀 Although, leaves the question, who has to be victimized for action to be taken.
Amanda hopped on for the rest of the episode to co-host! We discussed what a CEO could mean for KP, Jane Noir’s distaste for royals playing ping-pong, and UK’s Black History Month.
We also talked about an important, and not always discussed topic about royals: the underlining politics that influence their work. Why they’re suppose to be bipartisan, but why they can’t be non-political. Spoiler alert: it’s because they‘re titles and jobs are inherently political.
Joins us this week for a fun episode!

This week Lady Audaci-Tea sat down with Amanda (@matta_a_fact) to sip all things Royal Mess™️, and Success. We started with our usual Bananas articles, choosing KP’s Camilla Tominey’s Telegraph article revealing KP’s CEO job posting, and KP’s response to Invictus through a podcast, and Tom Sykes.
We dived into the rapid fire of events since the calendar struck September 1st, and everyone ‘hit-the-ground-running’. Amanda and I chat about Invictus, suits, media literacy, and ‘sex symbols’!
I am sorry about the sound on my end! It actually caused the delay because my editor was WERKING to clean it up. Thank you so much for your patience while I figure out these small technical errors. That will be fixed for the next episode! Thank you so much for your support ya’ll!

We quickly realized that 28 pages of notes wasn't going to fit into 1 episode so we are making this a two parter. First we'll kick off with bananas articles from the week before getting into the scandal involving Dan Wootton and numerous allegations from victims of his abuse - both online, sexual and in the workplace. Part one focuses on the timeline of events and a look into Byline Times as a media company. Part 2 will get into the articles themselves, theories and lingering thoughts we have.
