Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

EPISODE 15

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,

 Our Fantastic Beast companion for the podcast.

On this episode of Three For Tea, we celebrate our 15th episode with an animalistic twist. We feature the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, discussing our favorite "Beasts", what classifies something as a "Beast" or "Being" and share our opinions on what the movie might be about. We are joined by Greta, the 8 month old Bernese Mountain Dog that Julienne is currently dog-sitting, so please excuse our furry friend's many interruptions. We also, go on a brief but fun tangent and mention that they day we are recording is National Lipstick Day- a day we Three For Tea ladies admire and take seriously.

It also is quite fitting that the podcast about a Harry Potter book is being posted on Harry's birthday. So to all you Potterheads out there, Accio Birthday Cake! 

And Happy Birthday Harry!!

PODCASTER PROFILE: Meet our newest member, Alyssa!!

Hello, fellow readers and listeners!

I'm Alyssa, and I'm the newest member of Three for Tea. I have a degree in English and an emphasis in Creative Writing because I adore poetry and prose alike. I work in tech at a start-up company in the Silicon Valley, but when not attempting to appear like a responsible adult, I can be found consuming copious amounts of cheese and (probably) having an existential crisis. I'm a lover of puns, parables, and paradoxes and am a strong advocate of the Oxford comma. I'm also prone to drinking coffee, reading voraciously, having romantic notions, silently correcting everyone's grammar, and frequenting libraries and used bookstores. 

Additionally, I love listening to live music, quoting A Knight's Tale in full, and daydreaming about running away to start life anew in Western Europe. I pin, blog, gram, tweet, and am sometimes on Facebook. 

It's nice to meet you all!

Sincerely,

Alyssa
