Episode 197 - CIRCUS FOLKLORE

from The Folklore Podcast Hosted by Mark Norman

We visit the circus in this episode of The Folklore Podcast. Specifically, we are guests of Paulo's Circus where, after watching a traditional circus performance, we interview Kenny Darnell, son of the current circus owner and part of a family with circus heritage going back many generations. Kenny talks about circus heritage, the importance of the art form in the modern world, and some of the myths and superstitions attached to the circus, its workers and performers. We also find out about an exciting new plan to bring a new addition to a very rare piece of circus history - the permanent indoor circus. You can visit Paulo's circus online at https://www.paulos.co.uk/ Support The Folklore Podcast and enjoy extra exclusive content and other rewards on our Patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/thefolklorepodcast
