Shoemaking

He's a, and I want everybody who's listening to this, I'm going to give you like a half a second silence here to shout out this team.

He's a Cobblers fan.

Now, which team are the Cobblers? Luton Town, isn't it? No.

Northampton.

Oh, my God.

Anyway, why Northampton Town? Yeah, why? What? No, no, that's not the question.

Will you just pack it in? I'm asking our listeners.

Why Northampton Town called the Cobblers? Does anybody know? I shall tell you.

He probably has something hidden somewhere that he doesn't want anyone to, to get hold of.

There is the Room of the Cobbler.

The Cobbler's Room.

Yes, very active, haunted by a very happy spirit who loved to cobble.

[laughs] He's believed to be the shoemaker.

Yes.

Jeanette, one of the, the, the biggest female leaders in the footwear industry where there's not a lot of women that are CEOs and of that level in an industry with a lot of family and a lot of history, with a lot of factories overseas.

You said that your father was the face of some of that business, I think.

Mm-hmm.

But...

And I knew nothing about football.

And so, so I've seen it transition, and I remember around the time when 210 Foundation, Peggy Mille brought me in, and this is when they were starting WIFI, Women In the Footwear Industry.

And I was...

We're gonna, we're gonna give ourselves a little break." We're legitimately gonna do that this time.

We've been making Cobbler's Cryptid Carnival for quite a while now, and we are having a blast with it.

I keep saying that we're gonna share that with you.

We were talking about how much of that we wanted to share, and there is a story arc that Tas particularly liked and was a lot of fun.

So the month of October is gonna be our Cobbler's Cryptid Carnival month.

Every week we're gonna release three episodes of Cobbler's Cryptid Carnival.

So in the month of October, you're gonna get 12 episodes of that.

So for those of you on our Patreon, that means in October there's not gonna be a ton of new content for you, at least on the main feed, but of course there is still new content coming out every week on the Patreon feed.

Where'd you make it?

We made it together at the Chicago School of Shoemaking and Leather.

So fun.

It was such a fun time.

And then if you both just kind of wanna briefly introduce yourselves and what your role is.

Okay.

We are from the Chicago School of Shoemaking and Leather Arts.

I'm Deborah, and I'm the manager and one of the instructors.

Hither resorted those idlers and squires of low degree who hang loose on society and are blown about by every wind of doctrine.

Cobblers abandoned their stalls to give lessons on political economy.

Blacksmiths suffered their fires to go out while they stirred up the fires of faction.

And even tailors, though said to be the ninth parts of humanity, neglected their own measures to criticize the measures of government.

And now I have some very big news.

I have managed to secure sponsorship for the game from our friends in the parish of Nobbly-on-the-Wold, and specifically their shoe repairers in the high street, What a Load of Cobblers.

They have made a magnificent donation to the parish birdbath, and they are advertising the game in their parish, and I am for one delighted to have them on board.

They will be carrying out free shoe repairs on the day, and I think we can all agree it will be lovely to have a load of cobblers watching the game and helping us throughout the day.
