Has capitalism, white supremacy, climate catastrophe and patriarchy ruined your week? Then maybe it’s time for a cup of tea... with a kick. Belal and Alice, two hilarious, opinionated humans, get together fortnightly to digest the madness and set the world to rights. Each episode, they bring you all the latest tea, with 2 heaped teaspoons of progressive, anti-racist queer-feminist sugar. Expect seriousness mixed in with silliness: from fart jokes and celeb shade to serious chat on world revolution and amplifying radical activism from the margins.
