Ep. 9: A Fort, A Felt, and a Fish

It’s a month of big changes here at Fashionably Ate, and we’ve got an episode themed around one of them: Steph’s new workplace, Fort Langley, BC! We’ve used the Parks Canada Heritage Gourmet app (see the link below) to find a Fort-related recipe, to some surprising success, and Torey’s researching the iconic Hudson Bay blanket.

Torey's obsessed with: Indigenous Walks in Ottawa, led by Jaime Koebel -- check out their Facebook page, Indigenous Walking Tours.

Steph's obsessed with: the story of a fantastic female hiker in BC in the 1910s, showing up her fellow (male) hikers on an arduous mountain trail.

Ep. 4: Nogsters

Happy holidays & happy new year to all! To accommodate our busy holiday schedules we have a mixed-up informal episode for you today. We’re drinking some very boozey homemade eggnog and wearing our ugliest Christmas sweaters—all of which makes for a very hospitable environment for our *special guests*! Yes, The Boys are on air with us today, reacting to our creations live. We also entertain with the riotous rum-soaked history of eggnog and an original poem by Steph (!!!) on the origins of ugly Christmas sweater parties. Be sure to listen to the end for extra holiday cheer! Listen: If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element Enjoy!

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, making — you guessed it — cobbler. 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

Ep. 34: Hello to the Future

Yes, friends, it's true: the time has come for us to leave you. We've spent the last three years in a tumult of food highs (wartime cake!), fashion lows (remember that time I tried to describe how to tie an ascot?), and vice versa (remember that time Steph made a totally gorgeous outfit from a thrifted suit? Legendary.). Now, for our final bow, we're taking a trip back to our first failure, our worst failure, our gloopiest, ickiest, saddest failure: vegetarian jello. For what better way to say goodbye to you, our lovely listeners, than to make good on a three-year-old promise to try agar agar again? This month, we brave our fears and face our old foe, while talking '60s jello and the space-age fashion of the future. We said it all in the episode, but it bears repeating: thank you so much for listening. We've loved making this show. We hope hearing us fumble our way through food and fashion has made you as happy as it has made us. Feel free to find us outside of
