Entertainment in Ancient Rome with Aaron Odom of Euripides, Eumenides: A Theatre History Podcast; Wrestling as Sport AND Theater; The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling!

Whew, It's a long episode title! It's nearly as maxed out as the fun we had making it!  It's Laurel's birthday weekend and she wanted to throw a little party in the smoke circle and invite some friends over.  Aaron Odom from Euripides, Eumenides: A Theatre History Podcast comes by to hang out with the sisters and share some stories about entertainment in Ancient Rome, which was usually violent and bloody (but also free!) Next, the sisters fast forward in time to the birth of modern wrestling as sport, yes, but as entertaining THEATER.  KT starts with the history of modern wrestling--from its humble carnival beginnings in late 19th century America to the billion dollar industry roadshow that it is today!  KT tags Laurel in for some women's history with the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling in the mid-1980s.  Get out your folding chairs folks, slap on some spandex (or a toga!), spark up and strap in for a wild ride in episode 41 of Hightailing Through History with special guest Aaron Odom of Euripides, Eumenides!
