Noshing With Al Olson – May 25, 2023

This week, Ira spoke with Al Olson, author of "A History of the American Renaissance Festival. Where Have all the Hippies gone?" In this costumed episode of “Ira’s Everything Bagel,” Al talks about his history with renaissance festivals, going back decades; why they are popular and how they are totally inclusive; why they have become more corporate; why he wrote the book; and who are the important festival contributors over the decades.
