A great thing for the worldwide circus community.

This podcast is a delight. The hosts asks interesting and entertaining questions. They manage to go real deep whilst still moving the interviews foreword at a cracking pace. I love their style! And as for the guests it’s a veritable who’s who of (mainly) contemporary circus. I am a fan!
