We are two previous teachers in our 20s, living in Philadelphia, ready to school you on life, wine, and the tea. In this podcast, each of us will be finishing a bottle of wine that we, in some round-about and twisted way, have connected to our topics of discussion. Please sit back, relax with your drink of choice (ours will be wine, of course, but choose your favorite beverage), and listen to us spill the tea, not the wine!

Sam Dugan and Dani Bouchard
