Sibling’s Ramble: Phineas Taylor Barnum

A brand new sub-podcast comes to Siblings and Fandoms. Listen in awe as Noah dazzles and amazes, hoodwinks and confounds, talks and talks and talks. Wait, what? The story of P.T. Barnum was told, sort-of faithfully in the 2017 movie the Greatest Showman, however there were a few key differences. Noah goes through the film and compares the events pictured to real life.
