Ep. 25: Cobbling Shoes and Cobbling Cobbler

One of the many names for a cobbler: Apple John
This month we're diving deep into the history of a little Ontario town built by one of the biggest shoe companies in the world. We're also fully committing to the pun game in our food segment, makingyou guessed itcobbler.

Many thanks to Erin Baxter and the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto for their willingness to chat with us and for providing such a valuable resource.

What we're obsessed with in history

Steph: An upcoming exhibit at the Beatty Museum, and specifically an in-development, augmented reality experience that will help put collection pieces into virtual context. Much inspiration for her own work!
Torey: A 2016 event at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London that featured one of my favourite podcasts. Turns out there's not much of a mark left on the internet from a one-night event two years ago, but you can find a description of the event on Facebook (and I'll always recommend Friends at the Table to anyone who loves storytelling.)

Happy holidays & happy new year to all! To accommodate our busy holiday schedules we have a mixed-up informal episode for you today.

Ep. 33: Obsessions: Lace Knits and Hazelnuts

We're going off-script this month and treating ourselves to a whole episode about our current obsessions. No rhyme, no reason, no era - just really cool history. Torey's facing her fears and diving into an obsession with lace knitting (and/or knitted lace, depending on who you're talking to). Meanwhile, Steph is all in on hazelnuts, and we both make some fabulous nutty dishes. Thanks for listening!
