  • Episode 5: MORE Legacy - Honoring Brian Murphy

    Brian Murphy, best known to audiences as Shakespeare at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, has gone ahead down the lanes and turned a corner around which we cannot see.


    Our hearts ache for want of his voice.

    We recorded this podcast in the hopes that we could get it to his family in time for him to hear it, so please forgive us if it’s a bit rough. We know Brian will, for we know that regardless, he’ll still hear it.

    We want to send our deepest love and condolences to his family – by blood and by love.

    Brian Murphy, our quiet legend: Thank you.

    Hosts: Adam & Katy Solko
    Guests: Chris & Theresa Meis

    John Behr, King Henry, Minnesota Renaissance Festival
    Rich Shepardson, Troll & Director of the Riddle Booth, Minnesota Renaissance Festival

  • Episode 4: MORE Food

    Warning: You may want to have a snack handy!


    In this episode we talk all about food - what we eat, when we eat it, what foods we love... It honestly will probably be a topic we revisit down the line!

    These are some of the food booths at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival that receive a shout-out in this episode:

    Royal Chocolate (run by The Danger Committee)
    Pierogi Castle (near Treetop Stage)
    The Lazy Dragon Crepes (near the Stocks)
    The Gator Place (near Queen's Pub) If you know the real name of the place that sells shrimp and gator, let us know!
