Transcript Talks Machina Ep3 58:26 Taliesin’s History of the Limerick Book

I had to share this one (before I even finished the episode), because this is such a "working at Ren. Faire" story. I mean, this is 100% what it's like at any Faire, large or small, behind the scenes. Most people work ridiculously hard through the day.
