The Cheesecast

Kirk and Daine get their festive on with The Cheesecast's first-ever holiday wedge!

We've got ancient Greek cheese lore, seasonally appropriate cheese history, a holiday shopping guide -- including the epic Cheesecast debut of *The Fondoodler* (when Kirk touches things he shouldn't touch and Daine freaks out in a supremely midwestern way) -- AND a bonus field trip to Horrocks Farm Market in Lansing, MI, to survey the cheese troughs and marvel at The Big Cheese.

As always, thanks to the Fabulous Sam and her amazing iPad for the cheese lore and The Fondoodler and thanks to Steven and the crew at Horrocks for the hospitality!

Kirk and Daine are back in the studio full of holiday happiness and excitement to dip their proverbial toes into some cheesy dips and spreads (We promise they didn't ACTUALLY dip their toes into any of the dips and spreads)!

Check it out to hear some cheese news, some cheese lore and even a little cheese law along with some recipes from Kirk that will wow your family and friends this holiday season!

As always, thanks to the Fabulous Sam and her amazing iPad for the cheese lore and a special shoutout to Paul and Sheila Pavloski for graciously hosting Daine and Erin for a Packer game!

Kirk and Daine are back in the studio to talk about some STANKY cheeses! They bust out some seasonal cheese news, make moose noises and chat about some more cheese lore before the main event, a tough tasting of three pungent picks!

Thanks to Trevor at Zingerman's Deli for acting as our washed-rind cheese spirit guide and, as always, the Fabulous Sam and her amazing iPad for the cheese lore!

Kirk and Daine took too gosh darn long giggling and talking about cheese stuff in Cheese Hook-Ups 1 so they had to return to the studio to continue working their way through the cheese pairing grid prepared by Dr. Susanne Lewis! Listen along as Kirk feels guilty and tries some of the icky pairings from Part 1 and then try the pairings with Feta, Manchego, Parmesan, 1000 Day Gouda and Blue Cheese!

Kirk and Daine are joined in the studio by Dr. Susanne Lewis, Professor of Chemistry at Olivet College to talk about the science behind cheese pairings! Does marscapone go with dill pickle? What about cheddar and apple? What kind of noises does Daine make when he tastes disgusting cheese combinations? Why are canned peaches so bad? Listen along as our intrepid Cheesecasters answer those questions and explore those pairings (and MANY more) in Part 1 of our cheese pairing wedge!

Thanks again to Dr. Susanne Lewis for joining us on the show and dropping some science knowledge and of course the Fabulous Sam and her Amazing iPad for lending her research expertise!

Kirk and Daine continue their cheesy adventure with a second helping of blues! Listen along as our intrepid cheesecasters talk about cheese-powered towns, the origins of a classic children's tune, and, of course, another tasty test of Daine's tastebuds as he dives into some award-winning blues!
