Hey y'all! Thanks for stopping by! We're Nikki and Salina, the hosts of Sweet Tea & TV. ST&TV started inside the walls of Sugarbaker & Associates, where we spent seven seasons steeping in the sass, smarts, and Southern charm of Designing Women. These days, we’re following the unforgettable women of television wherever they lead — tracing their stories through the pop culture that made us. 

Inspired by “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” - a quintessential Millennial pop culture touchstone - we’re using the “six degrees of separation” concept as our roadmap through television history. We’re connecting the dots between iconic characters, the actors who played them, the themes they explored, and the cultural impact they left behind.

It’s how we jump from the Southern sass of Designing Women to the sun-soaked friendships of The Golden Girls - which is where we're finding ourselves now for season 8 of the podcast. Maybe one day we’ll land in the heart of Sex and the City or find ourselves sipping coffee in another Millennial touchstone - Gilmore Girls. Each show leads us to the next — sometimes through a shared actress or creator, sometimes through a kindred theme or era — creating a continuous thread of unforgettable women and meaningful storytelling.

We’re not just connecting characters — we’re stitching together a patchwork of voices that speak to where we’re from, who we’ve become, and how women have always carried the story forward.

From big-haired soapbox speeches to late-night cheesecake chats, we’re here to celebrate the characters who made us laugh, think, and feel right at home. So pour a glass of sweet tea, grab the remote, and join us as we explore how TV reflects our culture, questions our norms, and reminds us why great storytelling (and great women) never go out of style.
