Always interesting and informative. The voice delivery is excellent and done in a straightforward and laidback manner, avoiding the cliches of modern radio and over the top podcast personalities!
Excellent start!
Having grown up in the modern carnival world in the Southern US, I only got to to experience the end of the “Side Show” phenomenon. Long before I had reached adulthood, it seemed like all of the few remaining side show acts had retired, mostly to Gibtown, Florida. I have tons of memories, which may be about as reliable as many of Barnum’s claims. I am always excited to see the stories being shared in a respectable way. I am really looking forward to upcoming episodes.
