October 30, 2019 20:44 - 24 minutes - 34.2 MBAllow me to show my love to all of you for being here on my journey, no matter when you might have been part of the story.

Cliche or not, I am incredibly blessed to have YouTube as part of my living and to have an amazing community of friends and family that have supported me every single day.

July 03, 2019 06:29 - 37 minutes - 52.2 MBDavid Imel returns to talk about our recent travels before we get into the main discussion regarding creative process.

And, how do we balance the kind of work we do with the kind of lives we lead? The podcast has made its way to my YouTube channel!

Why Isa does tech (Isa Rodriguez)
June 27, 2019 02:29 - 49 minutes - 67.4 MBWe're back in Tokyo, but this time for work. Isa and I recount our time in the Philippines, where we island hopped for my birthday and ate way too much food. But since we're here to work, we talk about it - Isa recently left the company she worked at for the last couple years, GadgetMatch, and is now doing content for her own channel. I ask her why she is so passionate about the lifestyle and female perspective of tech, having her explain in her own words why we need more voices like Isa Doe...
Tokyo is everything (Isa Rodriguez)
June 18, 2019 21:30 - 42 minutes - 58 MBTokyo, Japan is a special place. I finally got to go to the land of the rising sun with my family and my girlfriend Isa Rodriguez, who is also the special guest in this podcast. We recount our favorite parts of the city that has so much to offer: wonderful people, culture, food, and activities that range from loud to incredibly serene. Don't forget to check out the MUKBANG that happened at the start of the trip, found on my YouTube channel! Follow Isa everywhere! Twitter/Instagram - @s...
Android Authority reunion?! (David Imel, Tayo Onabule, Darcy Lacouvee)
May 01, 2019 19:26 - 54 minutes - 75.1 MBThis is an interesting one - I wanted to test out Skype/OBS for recording video podcast episodes for the YouTube channel but it turned into a reunion of sorts for me and some of the old Android Authority crew! David Imel returns to the podcast but while staying in Vancouver he joined the call with star editor Tayo Onabule and founder Darcy Lacouvee in the room! The four of us catch up, recount our respective Easter weekends, and then get into discussions regarding the Huawei P30 Pro, the ...
Did we get better sleep? (David Imel with Nighty Night by Traditional Medicinals)
April 02, 2019 23:30 - 42 minutes - 58.9 MBLet's find out how co-host David Imel and I fared in our little sleep experiment, sponsored by Traditional Medicinals! In the weeks that followed our previous episode together, we tracked our sleep using a few different trackers and supported our wind-down routines with Nighty Night tea by Traditional Medicinals. I also talk about a stronger version of the Nighty Night tea that includes valerian root, an herb that has been used to combat sleeplessness for decades.* This tea, a soothing mix ...
Huawei P30 Pro, Nokia 9 Pureview, and Galaxy S10+ talk!
March 26, 2019 23:30 - 42 minutes - 58 MBSome weeks, I don't have a co-host. It took me a while to get to this point, but I finally figured how to do this show on a consistent basis even when I don't have anyone joining me. On weeks like this, I will get on the mic and just talk through some of the top comments on my videos from the past week! Come join me, grab a cup of tea, and let's talk about why I might love the accessories more than the Huawei P30 Pro as I respond to the live chat in my YouTube premiere! After that, I'll let ...
Getting better sleep (David Imel with Nighty Night by Traditional Medicinals)
March 12, 2019 20:34 - 40 minutes - 55.7 MBMy cohost, David Imel, is back for another podcast powered by the herbal tea experts at Traditional Medicinals. The topic for this week's podcast: sleep. If you happen to follow either of us on social media, you are likely aware of how little sleep we get because of work and travel. In hopes of getting good sleep during all of the tech launches and conferences ahead (including Mobile World Congress in Barcelona), David and I decided to take mindful steps toward a better night's rest. That in...
Surviving CES 2019, one cup of tea at a time (Isa Rodriguez with Throat Coat by Traditional Medicinals)
March 05, 2019 23:02 - 47 minutes - 64.7 MBThe podcast is back with a couple of surprises! This episode was recorded in late January with my girlfriend, Isa Rodriguez (@sisasaid), at the end of her trip to California, which included our work at CES 2019 in Las Vegas. Together, we make ourselves cups of a tea by our tea sponsor—that’s right, the podcast has a tea sponsor! A huge thank you to Traditional Medicinals for powering this and, hopefully, future podcasts with their extensive and great catalog of teas that you can find in man...

January 16, 2019 00:10 - 51 minutes - 70.7 MBHere comes the first episode of 2019! I am joined by THE MrMobile himself, Michael Fisher, as we drive in a Hyundai NEXO north along the roads of California. We talk about our pet peeves when behind the wheel, I ask the Bostonian about some New England stereotypes, and we recall the craziness that has been the last few months of 2018 in tech. Look forward to new episodes every Tuesday! Follow MrMobile! http://twitter.com/themrmobile http://instagram.com/themrmobile http://youtube.com/the...
Walking and eating all of Paris (Isa Rodriguez)
December 31, 2018 23:19 - 44 minutes - 61.2 MBI'm back to bring you an episode on the final day of 2018! This year has been awesome for so many reasons, but one of them has been my long distance relationship with this episode's guest, Isa Rodriguez. After episodes about our long distance relationship and how we generally meet up during work trips, we come to you on location from our AirBnB in Paris, France. As we said at some point during the trip (and perhaps in this very podcast), we never quite thought we would find ourselves in a pl...
Recovering from Techtober! (David Imel)
November 07, 2018 00:32 - 41 minutes - 57 MBIn the wake of Techtober and ALL THE PHONES, I finally get back on the podcast with my co-host David! After some proper tea talk we get into every product and every trip that took up our entire last month. You can check out all of our coverage from our respective channels, but on this podcast we talk about some of the extra phones that either of us didn't get to spend time with: the newly resurrected Palm, the RED Hydrogen One, and the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3, in particular. It's any wonder how we g...
Oh, the places we've been! (Isa Rodriguez)
October 04, 2018 13:32 - 54 minutes - 62.4 MBWe're back! Well, I'm back again with my girlfriend talking about our long distance relationship (LDR) for the second time. Just before she left for the Philippines, Isa and I had some coffee early in the morning and we spoke about the many different places that we have been blessed to visit together. Our LDR is a bit unique in that we have been able to meet up more often abroad than in our respective home countries, but through our unique experience we share some tips on how to travel with ...
How to LDR (Isa Rodriguez!)
September 12, 2018 13:00 - 1 hour - 74.8 MBA very special episode comes your way this week as I bring my girlfriend, Isa Rodriguez (YouTube, Instagram, Twitter) to the TEAcast! She has just arrived from Manila, Philippines to spend time with me for a couple of weeks on this side of the earth - so, naturally, the first thing I do is get us some matcha green tea from Sip in Rowland Heights (wearesip.com), throw a concert-level microphone on her face, and make her talk about our long distance relationship (LDR) on a public forum! Isa an...
Who needs IFA when you got PAX West? (Thunder E of Booredatwork)
September 04, 2018 19:09 - 43 minutes - 49.3 MBI'm joined by my first guest! You know him as Thunder E, the mastermind behind the great websorite and channel Booredatwork! Enobong (that's his real name) recounts some stories from PAX West in Seattle, gives some opinions on IFA news, and then gives a quick story about the origins of Booredatwork. I definitely learn a lot about a show that I have always wanted to attend - maybe next year I will skip IFA again in lieu of PAX. Follow Booredatwork --- http://youtube.com/booredatwork http:/...
Pre-IFA for David, Switch games for me (#002 with David Imel)
August 30, 2018 13:00 - 42 minutes - 49.2 MBDavid is on his way to IFA, literally hours after we recorded this episode with cups of coffee in the morning. After a little bit of camera talk (the Nikon Z7 was recently announced, after all) I ask David about his TDC (Travel Day Carry) and we fall down a rabbit hole regarding the Nintendo Switch. Gamers - you know the pain of buying games for basically no reason. Thanks for sticking around for more episodes of Tech and Tea! We're available on all of the different podcast networks (minus ...
#001 - 23 and TEA with the Galaxy Note 9 (David Imel @ tea drunk)
August 21, 2018 19:00 - 42 minutes - 48.3 MBDavid Imel and Lanh Nguyen join me at a wonderful place called tea drunk in Manhattan where super high quality (and super expensive) tea is served in a traditional Chinese manner. While sampling white, green, and oolong tea, the three of us talk a little bit about David's genealogy via 23 and Me, react to Samsung's Unpacked event, and take some pictures using the Galaxy Note 9 and the newly Bluetooth'd S Pen. Thank you so much for joining us on the techandtea podcast! Follow me on all soci...
