About Us

The TEE Pod is a cosy, chaotic corner of the internet built by two book‑obsessed best friends, Tori & Ella, who can’t stop talking about the stories that ruin us, revive us, and keep our TBRs permanently overflowing.

What started as an unhinged group chat has become a weekly podcast where we dive into fantasy, romance, spicy tropes, character arcs, movies adaptations, fandom theories, and the books that have us in a chokehold. We’re here for the feral reactions, the emotional damage, the comfort reads, and the kind of honest, hilarious conversations that feel like hanging out with your besties.

Whether you’re deep in the bookish trenches, living on BookTok, or just love hearing passionate readers scream about their latest obsession, you’re in the right place.

New episodes drop every Tuesday - grab your favourite drink and join the chaos!

So who are we and how did we get here?

Well, if you tune into the first episode, you'll hear all about how we went from internet friends to real life besties. Essentially, Tori convinced Ella, to come to a Perth Thunder ice hockey game with her, and it turned out to be the best decision, after learning they weren't catfishing each other as balding, old men on the internet.

Tori is a 35yo mum of three boys who has been with her broody 6'6" MMC for just over 20 years. Her love of reading has been evident from a young age, when she picked up the Harry Potter series and fell in love with escaping real life and living in fantasies. This morphed into a love of fantasy, romantasy and all things romance (sports romance a current fav).

Ella is a 35yo mum of two girls, g-ma to one sweet baby boy and married her very own golden retriever hubby. Ella loves a variety of genres, from thriller and horror to romance and fantasy.
