Episode Description

It’s our first episode of 2026, and we’re kicking off the year by spilling the most famous tea in American history... literally.

You learned about the Boston Tea Party in school, but probably not like this. We’re breaking down what actually led a group of colonists to dress up, break into ships, and dump thousands of pounds of tea into Boston Harbor.

From corporate monopolies and bad political decisions to unhinged protests and unintended consequences, this episode proves once again that history is just gossip. Oh and we're sorry that we said we wanted to beef with our British Rammes, you know we love you.

Welcome to 2026 with Right Answers Mostly!

Created and produced by: Claire Donald and Tess Bellomo
