Podcasts about midsummer fantasy renaissance faire

Step into the Renaissance Faire and you’ll be greeted with a scene out of time — dueling knights, vendors hawking their wares and royal proclamations. Today, we'll take you to a faire and bring you voices from a realm filled with magic and whimsy. We'll also hear from the organizers of the Midsummer Fantasy Renaissance Faire and the Connecticut Renaissance Faire. We learn what goes into organizing these festivals, what it is like to perform there, and what keeps people coming back year after year. GUESTS: Isaac Moss: Summer intern at Connecticut Public and recent graduate of Wesleyan University Coco Cooley: Summer intern at Connecticut Public and student at Wesleyan University Eric Tetreault: Co-Founder and Marketing Director at the Connecticut Renaissance Faire Daniel Greenwolf: Co-Owner of the Connecticut Midsummer Fantasy Renaissance Fair Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Raylene Taskoski talks to Daniel Greenwolf, a Celtic magician, podcaster, poly guy, queer advocate, and kilt wearing ginger. We talk about Covid and how it affected his business,  how his relationship with his husband and wife started, their individual other partners, testing, and more. I get really nosy. LOL   Daniel GreenWolf has been a Professional Magician for over 20 years. He's appeared on AMC's "Dispatches From Elsewhere", in the award winning Documentary "Magic Camp", and has performed at Faires and Festivals across the United States. He's also been the Co-Owner of the Midsummer Fantasy Renaissance Faire out of Ansonia, CT for ten years, which brings together 150 volunteers, 20 professional acts, a dozen food vendors, and over 60 Artisan vendors from all over the World for a 3 Weekend Summer Festival.  He also wears a kilt and talks about Irish stuff in his show to an uncomfortable extent.
