Spill The Tea With D&E

Spill_The_Tea_With_D_and_E.01.064.TheBirthOfWatching

🎙️ Podcast Description — Spill the Tea with D & E Episode Title: “The Birth of Watching: Power, Privacy & Paranoia” Before TikTok, before the NSA, before even gossip at the village well — there was watching. 👁️ In this wildly smart and funny episode, Dominique and Erica trace humanity’s obsession with surveillance all the way back to ancient Egypt, when Pharaohs used scribes instead of spyware and the Eye of Horus was basically the first logo for “Big Brother.” From Rome’s informants and China’s imperial inspectors to medieval confession booths (aka spiritual data drops), D & E reveal how the world’s oldest addiction isn’t power… it’s information. Between sips of smoky Lapsang Souchong with cardamom honey, the duo explores how we went from papyrus reports to push notifications — and what we can actually do to reclaim our privacy (hint: use cash, delete zombie apps, and stop posting your lunch). It’s funny, philosophical, and a little unsettling — a wake-up call brewed with equal parts history, humor, and rebellion. Because the empire’s still watching… and it fits in your hand. 📱 ☕ Tea of the Day: Smoky Lapsang Souchong — the spy’s brew for suspicious minds. 🕵️‍♀️ Theme: From Pharaohs to phones, the watchers have evolved — have we? ✨ “Pour another cup… and rethink your settings.”Dominique: This podcast is done by us as volunteers, and all monies earned go to Santa Barbara Wellness Center, Inc.
