Tonight, we’ll read the second part to the fairy tale called "The White Cat", credited to Madame d’Aulnoy. In part 1, the old king devises to distract his sons from taking over the throne with a sort of fool’s errand to find him the perfect beautiful lap dog. Whoever won would also take over the kingdom. The youngest son stumbles upon a magical castle with a lovely talking cat, known as the White Cat. She gives him an acorn that she says carries the tiniest, most perfect dog, to bring to his father. As an aside, the story mentions that the prince brings with him a “turnspit dog”. This was a lowly breed of dog that is now extinct. It was kept in kitchens and ran on a wheel to turn the spit, or rotisserie that meat cooked on. The turnspit may have been an ancestor to either a modern Corgi, or the Glen terrier. In order not to overexert a dog with this hot and unpleasant work they were often kept in pairs, so that they could be worked in shifts. It is believed that this is the origin of the proverb 'every dog has his day.’The Turnspit dog was also used as foot warmers at church, and it is said that Queen Victoria kept retired turspits as pets. -- read by 'V' -- Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/snoozecast)

Two guests! Two live performances! Amazing! To wrap up 2018, Hi Ho (Gillian McGhee) and OUTDrejas joined me for conversation and live performances inside a CX-5 on the showroom floor of The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston. It was an amazing day for the podcast, and a thrill to record at the Autobarn Mazda of Evanston. We'll definitely be doing this again! Here's what you'll hear in this episode: Hi Ho segment LIVE PERFORMANCE: "WHISKEY SHEETS" TOPICS: Gillian's 101 Dalmatians sweater and its long history in her wardrobe. What would Gillian eat, if we were allowed to eat in a new car on a showroom floor? The evolution of Hi Ho and Turnspit. Hi Ho took a backseat to Turnspit for a while. GILLIAN'S IN A LITERAL BACKSEAT. OMG. Gillian's moment on stage with Rise Against ("I sobbed for 20 minutes afterwards"). "Were you a fat five-year-old?" What's up with that t-shirt that has Gillian's young emo face on it? Gillian's upcoming west coast tour ("basically not men"). Gillian beat me to my Dad joke. OUTDREJAS segment LIVE PERFORMANCE: "WE'LL FIGHT THE FIGHT" TOPICS: OUTDrejas is the only band who would tolerate having the "Santa" filter added to our Facebook Live. OUTDrejas does an awful cover version of the podcast theme song. Sorry, Josh Caterer of Smoking Popes. Why are there no clams? I spent the weekend with OUTDrejas.

The differences between the Vietnam War and OUTDrejas's travel itinerary. There were no parades when OUTDrejas came back, either.

Humans are the only animals that cook their food, an innovation that changed the course of our evolution and the trajectory of the planet. But how did we tame those early cooking fires and put them in a box—and what can subsequent leaps forward in heating technology tell us about cuisines and culture? This episode, we’re taking you on a whirlwind tour through oven history and science, from the legendary roast beef of Old England—and the special dogs bred to turn the spits on which it hung—to the curious origins of the microwave in military radar technology. What do we gain and lose when our ovens change—and how might understanding that help with the quest to bring better cookstoves to the developing world?

This is the incredible true story of Turnspit Dogs.  The turnspit dog is an extinct breed of dog. This breed was used in kitchens to turn roasting spits back when roasting was done over an open fire, rather than in an oven. The earliest known reference to to this breed is in a book called "De Canibus Britannicis" by Dr. Caius. In this book, which was published in 1570, turnspit dogs were described as a kitchen service dog.  Turnspit dogs were put into wooden wheels (that looked like giant hamster wheels), and made to run inside the wheel, which turned a chain, which turned the spit.  Thank You to Our Interviewee: Ciara Farrell from The Kennel Club Thank You to this Looperman Artist for the Music: Melody by Slice0fCake
