Tea & Treachery
Tea & Treachery
History is full of kings, queens, conspiracies, and killers—but the truth is often stranger than the legend.
Join your host J’Lynn and co-host Adam the Llama as they steep themselves in the most fascinating true crimes, mysterious deaths, political betrayals, and forgotten scandals from history. Each episode uncovers the evidence behind infamous cases, separates fact from folklore, and explores the people whose lives—and deaths—changed history forever.
Whether it’s a poisoned bowl of porridge, a wrongful execution, a royal conspiracy, or a murder that remained unsolved for centuries, every story is meticulously researched and served with sharp wit, dark humor, and just the right amount of sarcasm. While one host dives deep into the historical record, Adam the Llama asks the questions you’re probably already thinking—adding clever commentary, modern perspective, and the occasional perfectly timed eye roll.
So pour yourself a cup of tea… just maybe don’t ask what’s in it.
New episodes are brewed regularly.
Tea & Treachery—where history spills the tea… and somebody usually ends up dead.
