Bonjour! Welcome to Coffee Talk with King Francois I, episode twenty-three. I am your host, Theodore Jander.

In this coffee talk, you will partake in my conversation with Kathleen Whalen, a long time friend and cast member of the St. Louis Renaissance Festival as well as the Oklahoma Renaissance Festival.

Before jumping into our conversation, some more coffee humor to start things brewing. Does Moses use instant coffee? No. He brews. And to think, I found that one on my tablet. Kidding. With that bit of brew-licious humor, grab a cup of your favorite java, sit back, and enjoy this episode of Coffee Talk with King Francois I. Enjoy!

Kathleen's favorite Renaissance word/phrase:

  • Good morrow - means the same as “good morning”

Intentionally Disturbing

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
