Welcome to Long Distance, Bit Weird--the new podcast from international comedy couple Sooz Kempner and Michael Balazo. One of them lives in the UK, the other in Canada. Thank you.
This week Sooz and Michael welcome comedian and writer Lucy Frederick to talk about the uniquely British phenomenon of afternoon tea. When did it begin? Should you have some? Should there be mice around when it is served? Lucy also talks a bit about panto, leading to a discussion of funny panto bloopers.
PLUS: another edition of the hit segment "Actual Customer Letters to Wetherspoon News," in which we read genuine letters written to a pub.
Be sure to follow Lucy on Instagram.
