When Aliens Come to Tea

About the Podcast

“When Aliens Come to Tea” is your portal to the cosmos, one delightful teacup at a time. We bridge galaxies with good conversation, warm brews, and a touch of the wonderfully weird.

Our Mission

“Bridging the cosmos, one cup at a time.”

At When Aliens Come to Tea, we believe the universe’s greatest mysteries aren’t found in quantum physics or wormhole equations – they’re discovered over a shared pot of tea and a good laugh. Our mission is to prove that whether you have two hearts, seventeen eyestalks, or offspring literally growing on your shoulders, we all share the same fundamental experiences: love, fear, hope, and the occasional catastrophic misunderstanding about proper biscuit etiquette.

Through intimate conversations that blend profound connection with laugh-out-loud absurdity, we explore what makes us universally human (or Sporonite, or Crystalline, or sentient gas cloud). We celebrate our differences, find humor in our miscommunications, and discover that sometimes the best way to understand each other is to admit we don’t understand each other at all – and that’s perfectly okay.

Every episode is an invitation to see the familiar through alien eyes and the alien through familiar ones, proving that empathy, curiosity, and a well-timed “Oh, for the love of Earl Grey!” can bridge any gap between species.

Because in a universe full of incredible diversity, ridiculously specific customs, and beings who think our eyebrows are a separate species, the most radical act is sitting down together, sharing a warm beverage, and finding joy in our spectacular differences.

Welcome to When Aliens Come to Tea – where the only thing stronger than our tea is our commitment to connection through cosmic comedy.

Meet Felix

Broadcasting from Terra Nova’s Galactic News Network, Felix Andromeda transformed from award-winning war correspondent to the galaxy’s most beloved tea-time conversationalist. After covering conflicts across seventeen star systems, he discovered that true understanding between species happens not in peace summits, but over a properly brewed cup of tea (or photosynthesis solution, or whatever your species considers comforting).

Felix combines journalistic instincts with diplomatic grace and the bewildered charm of someone whose guest just explained they drink tea through their elbows. Known for his signature “Oh, for the love of Earl Grey!” – deployed during peak cultural confusion or when STEEP makes particularly unhelpful suggestions – he’s become the galaxy’s most trusted cultural interpreter.

Master of the Unexpected

Felix excels at creating space where beings can share their stories, find common ground, and discover their wildly different approaches to existence are hilariously universal. He asks questions others won’t (“So your mating ritual involves competitive screaming?”), translates alien occupations into simple terms (“Space gardener who tries not to get eaten by the petunias”), and maintains warm professionalism even when his guest’s thirty-nine offspring are actively heckling the interview.

Whether learning why Zorglings consider hiccupping a form of classical music or or explaining human sarcasm to literal-minded species, Felix approaches each moment with empathy, humor, and elegant bewilderment.
