  • S5-E-1: I'm Baaaccckkk!
    Nov 4 2024

    On the kick-off episode of Season Five of Tedi Talks, Tedi shares with us where he has been (MIA) and how the podcast, with its new name (well, actually original name), is keeping some of the old format, but bringing in a lot of new and exciting things. Tedi also provides us with the many things that have been bothering him, including a resurgence of the word 'Karen', rude people and the stress of watching a movie series, plus much, much more.

    All in all, it's typical Tedi, but with a shaky voice and and a bit more saucy attitude. The new Season of Tedi Talks is going to be a ''bumpy ride, so fasten your seatbelts."
