Sugary Brew

This week we catch up on some 2 player board games, a tea, and our music doco of the week 'Little Richard - The Kind and Queen of Rock n Roll'.

The podcast about life, tea, and entertainment! We're back after a short hiiiiiiiiiiiiatus, with a few slight changes - nothing major. This week we discuss the King Crimson doco. We're going to focus on music docos for a while, so if you have any recommendations for things you'd like us to discuss, please let us know!

The henceforth half-as-regular chaos ensues in traditional SugaryBrew fashion as we discuss men's health, mystery tea, and probably the worst bit of entertainment we've had the displeasure of sitting through in a long long while.

This week Brew is back on board as we catch up on what we've missed, a bunch of Toffee Time updates, the usual random chaos and some entertainment chat.

James understandably needed another wee cough, what with a 3 week old baby at home! Ana stepped in to record a short pod to keep things on track as best we can without our Brew! back to our regular programming soon as is readable :)

We had a wee cough as Mavis Rose Brewer was born last week, but it's great to be back to discuss the new arrival, have a cuppa, and talk on a random smattering of entertainment.

Sugary got a new mixer for his birthday! Hopefully sound quality is a bit better, but it allows us to have call in guests too - which we put to the test bringing Jen Wardly-Wardleback back for an addendum, post episode 3 review of HBO's The Last of Us. We also have general catchup and shenanigans', a review of 'The Banshees of Inisherin' and a tea review. We're getting close to Brew's new arrival, so if we can't have a full show in/for the next few weeks we'll put the new desk to good use and have some sanity-checks and birthing stories in its stead.

This week we're joined by Jen to talk about HBO's 'The Last of Us', as well as catching up on a whole bunch of medical minutes, a mystery tea tasting, and the usual 'Get Rec's. Join us next week as we discuss 'The Banshees of Inisherin'.

This week's short yet chaotic pod includes a review of Yorkshire Tea's Malty Biscuit Brew (thanks to listener Doggy Laybys!) and a review of 'The Menu'. Listen out for the spoiler warning, spoilers end at 34:45 if you want to skip. See you next week when we'll be joined by Jen to discuss HBO's 'The Last of Us' adaptation!

This week we ramble on about AI Art, sup a Clipper 12 days of Xmas tea, and review 'My Old School' - plus a smattering of Get Rec's and random annecdotes! Next week, 'The Menu' is on the menu, see you then!

Aaaand we're back - Happy New Year! Feels longer than a week off! In this ep we catch up on festive goings on, nut milk updates and multiple 'Get Rec's.

In our last ep of the year we talk on Yorkshire Tea Toast & Jam, as provided by a lovely listener and long time friend Mikey 'Doggy Layby'. We also discuss Stephen Spielberg's 'The Fabelmans'.

This week we unravel some interesting Spotify pod stats & discuss Apple+'s Shantaram. Join us next week for the last show of the year - we'll discuss Stephen Spielberg's 'The Fabelmans'.

SugarBrew, sweet and fun Join us for a lively show Sips of tea, stories told Funny stories, we share Laughter fills the air, we grin SugarBrew, always fair. The above intro was written by AI, which we put to the test in this weeks episode... we also discuss life, tea and entertainment; Netflix's 1899 spoilers, and some 'Get Recc's.

An old friend gets in touch, tea is tasted, telly watched, and a ruddy good chinwag! No pod next week as James is off to show his knees by a cricket pitch in Christchurch and hoping not to get arrested - see you the week after for more SugaryBrewness.

We had a wee cough, and now back refreshed and in high spirits! This episode is jam-packed with 'Life, Tea and Entertainment', though which part is which of which is down to interpretation!

Believe it or not the topic of the day ends up being the new reissue of The Beatles 'Revolver'. We also catch up on some Toffee time, a go-to gumboot brew and a mish mash of entertainment. We won't be here next week but join us the week after as we discuss 'See How They Run'.

Between random anecdotes, we brave a tea we're unlikely to enjoy, and discuss the 'hot new thing' Jaws (1975).

In which we discuss everything from booker prize nominated books to Poetry, Tea, and The IT Crowd, as well as jump several sharks! (More of which next week, as we talk on 'Jaws')

This week we fail to succeed, catch up on Zoe's PAL's, review a bubble tea, and fly through 2 weeks worth of get rec'd's!

This week we catch some Toffee Time at the beach, talk tea and discuss the new Star Wars series 'Andor' and 'How to with John Wilson'.

This week we get some exciting news from Brew, have some Toffee Time, drink tea, talk on '3000 Years of Longing' and share in some lengthy 'get f***eds'.

In this weeks extended edition we review another tea from the Golden Panther Tea Company and catch up with some Toffee Time, before listening to Jen and James geek out over Lord of the Rings/The Rings of Power for probably a bit too long (depending who you ask)!

We're back with the 'Severance' spoiler cast you didn't know you missed last week! With special guest, friend of the show and honorary 3rd wheel of the Sugary Brew trike Jennifer Wardle. 'Toffee Time' is born, and we attempt to figure out whether 'behind every great man is a great woman' rings true in the Grey household. Schedule allowing, next week Jen will be back to discuss The Rings of Power.

Sugary dog update! And we sample a beautiful tea from the Golden Panther Tea Company (https://goldenpanther.co.nz/) - I misspoke about the 12 flavours, there are 15 varieties and 45 flavours!  We also discuss 1964 Beatles film 'A Hard Days Night'.  Get your 'Severence' on before next weeks spoilercast with special guest Jen!

We have our minds blown by our friends at Pomeroy's of Nelson with a surprise alchemical tea experience! We also compare and contrast 'Thirteen Lives', the Ron Howard dramatization of the Thai cave rescue of 13 children in 2018, with 'The Rescue', a National Geographic documentary on the same event. Check out our Facebook page for photos and videos of this weeks incredible brew (redirect from www.sugarybrew.com)!

In our longest and undoubtedly most informative episode yet we are joined by local Yerba Mate addicts Inoa & Justin to discuss the mystical Yerba and the ritual of Mate drinking!  We also discuss some big Sugary news, and televisual delight 'Severence'.  Don't forget to pair this episode with Justin's recommended playlist of 'Solea' by Miles Davis (last track on Sketches of Spain), Niiv's Cauldron by Omnia, and Iron and Wine's version of 'Waiting for Superman'!

'Turmeric' or 'Tyoomeric'? You sure you're alright? Is there life after 'Life After Life'? Does the camera-person have Parkinsons? These questions and more will be ceremoniously asked and likely remain customarily unanswered in this weeks SugaryBrew! Join us next week as we discuss the new series 'Severence'.

Join the SugaryBrew Poetry collective! We also discuss an odd black tea and fruit blend, and the lockdown lovey series ‘Staged'.

After a week off, we give 'Bell' another crack with 'Citrus and Elderflower, and we discuss the distant memory of watching 6 part drama 'Sherwood', amongst the usual shenanigans'.

This week Brew randomly spots his old Percy on Twitter! Plus we sip a cuppa while discussing Norwegian horror flick 'The Innocents', and the naming of our new quick recommendation section, 'Get Rec'd!'

Mystery solving, tea drinking, and heated discussions - an average day at Sugary Brew HQ!

This week we get another Sugary medical minute, drink tea, and discuss 'Under the Volcano' - a music doco about Sir George Martin's Montserrat studio's decade on this planet.

We made it to 50! We're joined live in the studio (Kitchen) by Ana and Alexandra to talk about late night YouTube, Yerba Mate (I'm still coming down as we lost the first recording and drank more than the uninitiated should dare to drink!) & Danny Boyles 'Pistol'.

Will we love Love? Will we love The Northman? Will we still love each other at the end of all this nonsense? The answer to at least one of these questions is... probably!   Join us next week for episode 50, as we discuss Danny Boyles Sex Pistols biodrama 'Pistol'.

We get an update on Lumpy and Rashy, discuss Oolong and talk about Crime/Drama/Mystery 'Shining Girls'. Next week we'll be discussing 'The Northman' in our usual spoilery fashion - so watch it before then if you can, and if you do, please leave us a one sentence review at anchor.fm/sugarybrew!

This rip-roaring episode of SugaryBrew is fueled by tea, shingles and butt plugs - silly questions, asked and answered and an a review of 'Everything, Everywhere, All at Once'.

Borage for Courage! This week we discuss some children's animations, Ana's Borage (from the garden) tea, and numerous things to watch!

This week we're joined by friend of the show and regular contributor Jen 'Wardley' Wardle to review her choice of tea, 'T2 French Earl Grey', and her somewhat random selection for a movie review, 2019's German language film 'System Crasher'.

This week we discuss good deeds, tea, doco's, concert memories, and numerous other ramblings. Also, apologies to any ninja's in the audience, we're only joking please don't kill us.

Advance apologies as brows reach new lows in parts of this episode! But we also discuss a fascinating documentary about the 'Folk Horror' genre, multitudinous TV shows and a new podcast recommendation.

Sugary and Brew share the same physical space for the first time in a month! A tea is shared, some yarns are spun, and we discuss, amongst other things, talking heads (NOT the band!).

In our first post-covid catchup, delayed further by a day long power-cut, we discuss covid survival, vegetable insertions, board games, and finally get James' opinion on last weeks movie 'After Yang'. Hopefully back to regular programming next (this) week! (?) Ooooookbye!

James is out of commission with Covid, so Sugary is joined by regular contributor Jen 'Wardley' Wardle to discuss unwell pets, DIY, a tepid tea, our movie review of 'After Yang', and we even snuck in a game review! Get well soon James, hopefully we're back to normal next week!

This week we catch up on Brew's sobriety status (spoiler: still on the wagon!) and review the 4 part real-crime-drama 'Landscapers'.

Back after a mini-hiiiiiiiiiatus, we discuss the movie 'Mass' in some detail. While I don't think speaking on the plot and some moments of the film is spoilers (I'm not sure you can really 'spoil' this movie) enter at your own risk if you haven't seen it and want a completely untainted experience.

This week we're joined by our social media guru and accessibility expert Jen from Sydney to discuss the film CODA (Child of Deaf Adults). We also attempt Tuvan throat singing, and sample a tea from Israel.

We tackle 'One shot movies' with a 'One shot pod'! In dedication to our intention, I've avoided editing anything by not listening to it! Please let me know if it went alright on facebook.com/sugarybrew or anchor.fm/sugarybrew for voicemails!

This week we discuss a close encounter with a *ping*, Janie's regular gumboot brew, and a review by committee of 1961 movie 'Whistle Down the Wind'

...aaaaand we're back, getting back to Get Back! We missed a week - but thankfully nobody noticed.

In our first pod of 2022; we offer a humble apology for an inadvertent murder, a 'coming out' of sorts, multiple exciting anecdotes, and triggers for those with an over-active visual imagination!
