Duluth Budgeteer reporter and huge Shakespeare nerd Teri Cadeau joins us to talk about the First Folio, which has called Duluth home this fall.

The 1623 First Folio is the first printed collection of all of Shakespeare's plays and was on display at the Tweed Museum of Art for the month of October. Today, Oct. 26, is the final day to see it on the University of Minnesota Duluth campus.

Hear about Teri's relationship with Shakespeare, which wasn't love at first sight, and how she felt when she was in the same room as the First Folio. She also explains to Brady that you can't simply just "flip" through it.
