Shed Dogs. A podcast wherein we discuss things that matter to three old guys who should have better things to do. Featuring Kevin J McNulty, Patrick J Lilburn, and Richard J Tench. It's like watching the ocean from the shore.
For most episodes theme music is Escaping like Indiana Jones by Komiku, with permission. For other episodes theme music is by Voodoo Jazz, with permission.
In a determined attempt to seem grown up, this week the Shed Dogs explore the wonders of cognac - what it is, how to appreciate it, even how to hold it in your hand. Then, and at last, we catch up on all the listener mail, including a look at nicknames and where a couple of ours come from. Finally, we explore why the usual question about Daylight SavingSSSS Time is the wrong one.
Pre-tasting
As we are instructed about structure and scents we may expect to encounter (a hint or creosote? a soupçon of Western decay?), RJ pours the correct amounts. I was a little disappointed that the glasses weren't engraved.
Deftly signalling his readiness to ascend to aristocracy, KJ demonstrates the correct way to hold the glass.
A bottle of fine cognac, and a plastic jar of cashews from Safeway. The Dogs prepare to qualify for Aston Martin ownership.
