Coffee Talk with King Francois I

Episode 41 - A Story About Tybalt

Bonjour! Welcome to Coffee Talk with King Francois I! I am your host, Theodore Jander. In this brief episode, A Story About Tybalt, I share a short Pirate Festival experience.
But before story time, I share the following Thanksgiving coffee-related joke. Why was the turkey cooked in coffee? They wanted it to have a darker roast. With that well stuffing-ed joke, grab a cup of your favorite brew, sit back, and enjoy this episode of Coffee Talk with King Francois I.

Episode 32 - Douglas Carr - Part the Second

Bonjour! Welcome to Coffee Talk with King Francois I, episode thirty-two! I am your host, Theodore Jander. 
In this coffee talk, you will hear the remainder of my conversation with Douglas Carr, a longtime friend and former Creative Director of the St. Louis Renaissance Festival. As mentioned in the last episode, due to the original length of the conversation between Douglas and me lasting nearly three hours, I split it up between two episodes. So, we jump into the conversation about 33 seconds before the cliff-hanger ending of the last installment. So, grab a cup of your favorite java, sit back, and enjoy this episode of Coffee Talk with King Francois I.
Douglas’ historical figure of choice with whom to have coffee:
William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
Douglas’ favorite Renaissance word:
Bunghole - meaning a hole for emptying or filling a cask (Merriam-Webster online Dictionary)
Episode Sponsor: Mid-America Festivals and their St. Louis Kegs ‘n’ Eggs event

Have a hopping good time at the largest adult egg hunt in the St. Louis area.
Thousands of dollars of cash and prizes in 15,000 eggs are up for grabs. Come meet Bud Bunny. And, enjoy samplings of locally crafted beers, spirits, and even non-alcoholic drinks, live entertainment by Threshold, food trucks, a live DJ, and egg-citing games and contests aplenty.
Everyone receives a T-shirt, tote bag, and sample glass with their ticket. You can even bring your dog to join in the fun with their very own egg hunt and contests.
Join us Saturday April 13th, 2024, on the grounds of the St. Louis Renaissance Festival in Wentzville, Missouri. The pre-party begins at 11:00 am, with the egg hunt at 1:00 pm. Various tickets are available at https://STLRenFest.com.
