Ep. 24 | Step Right Up: The Dark Side of the Freak Show

Step right up—if you dare. In this episode of Spirits Uncorked, Elizabeth and Erica peer behind the curtain of the freak show, where the strange, the shocking, and the supernatural collide. From the dark origins of 19th-century sideshows to the most infamous performers and alleged hauntings, we explore how fascination turned to exploitation—and how the echoes still haunt pop culture and paranormal lore today. We also discuss modern versions of the "freak show," from reality TV to urban legends, and ask why society is still drawn to the bizarre. Grab a glass and join us for a wild, weird ride. We also announce the winner of our Frank Reddy book giveaway!
