We are re-visiting past episodes with special insights from the cast! Shrivy is our pioneer commentator in this re-release of the episode from the last time the party was in Tarydion during the New Season's Summer Festival. We aim to provide some humor, reactions, and insights into our characters in this first re-release episode.

Summer festival season is in full swing, and if you're a touring artist or singer feeling the strain on your voice, you're not alone. Whether it's the stress of being on tour, the impact of wildfire smoke, or just the sheer demand of back-to-back performances, your voice might be feeling tired, stressed, or even strained. This video offers a gentle vocal health and rehab program designed specifically to help you manage vocal inflammation and support your voice when it's most needed. In this video, we'll cover: Essential voice coaching tips for singers on tour Strategies to protect your vocal health during stressful times Gentle vocal rehab exercises for tired or strained voices How to manage vocal damage and inflammation The importance of being mindful and not pushing through vocal pain Remember, this is not about expanding your vocal range or increasing power—it's about gently preparing your voice for continued use without causing further strain. Always consult your doctor or ENT if you're experiencing long-term issues, pain, or anything unusual with your voice. Your vocal health is crucial, and pushing through pain can lead to long-term or even permanent damage. Stay safe, be gentle with your voice, and let's keep those performances going strong!

The subject of where to get the best pie in Minnesota is controversial. There's a squabble between those who love Betty's Pies on the north shore and the pies made by The Rustic Inn. The Aroma Pie Shop in Whalen along the Root River Trail has a lot of fans. But perhaps the city of Braham has everyone beat. Back in 1990, former Minnesota Governor Rudy Perpich weighed in when he named the town of Braham, an hour north of St. Paul, the Homemade Pie Capital of Minnesota. Braham Pie Day began that year and it's the latest in our series highlighting summer festivals around the state.This Friday, volunteers will serve somewhere around 700 pies in Freedom Park along Main Street. There are other events planned too — a car show, a quilt show, and a performance by the Pie-Alluia chorus — to name a few. Pie Day entertainment coordinator Marie Grundberg joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer with more on how you can celebrate.

On Wednesday morning, the town of Pequot Lakes in northern Minnesota crowned its royalty for this year's Bean Hole Days festival. The tradition has been going on since 1938 and is described as “rootin' tootin' good fun for the family.”Tuesday night, five cast iron kettles of beans were buried underground to cook. And by noon on Wednesday, they were ready to serve to the thousands of visitors who take part in the annual celebration. Nichole Heinen is the Pequot Lakes Chamber of Commerce director. She joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer from South Trailside Park in downtown Pequot Lakes.
