Friends, it is summer. It is hot. And we are thanking our past selves for planning a show all about ice cream and swimming. Torey got real into Toronto's swim history this month. Expect a whirlwind history of bathing suits and a lengthy meditation on social change. Steph found out much more than expected about the nebulous history of ice cream, as well as a selection of CanLit that references the treat. We both tried making our own ice cream from recipes c. 1904-1909, with mixed results, as ever. Your browser does not support the audio element. Thanks for listening!
