Circus World Museum and the Untold History of the Circus

[@caramelapplejollyrancher]

please post more!! this podcast is scratching such a niche itch i adore it

[@FTY13]

It's worth noting that the freak shows and the circus were actually separate although they performed in the same area. The freak show was the sideshow outside the tent

One circus movie you need to watch is "The Greatest Show on Earth" it's a woderful movie and it fully captures the magic and the wonder of the circus as it once was.

[@FTY13]

It is the most condescending incorrect movie ever made about the circus. The ringmaster that's just having a chat then goes rushing into the ring as if it's just a play thing that anyone can do ,doing an entire 2-hour show in the first 3 minutes I simply couldn't watch it complete rubbish that only Hollywood can come out with

Super underrated channel! Keep these coming.

People love everything about the circus but the internet doesn't because it's too much competition so they remove comments and likes

@@NineteenEighty8 I'm surprised people are not aware of this .The circus industry the carnivals everything that was competition for Google they hate and have done everything possible to destroy. Obviously they've got a bit of help from Hollywood with the horror clown thing and insurance companies to kill off live entertainment but the internet is very insidious they want a Monopoly on entertainment

[@FTY13]

The reason why there is so many horror movies about clowns and the circuses is because the internet doesn't like the competition they want everybody on tiktok. Have a look at most circus videos and you'll see there's very few comments because they remove them

Lietzel died in Europe, not on Barnum and Bailey (which was already combined with Ringling by then)

[@HolyCross9]

You know, you shouldn't handicap yourself with Tiger King as a reference to animal treatment within the circus. Because I'm positive that there are some animal distributors that genuinely treat the animals distributed with great care and respect and never resort to using cruelty methods like with Tiger King. Plus, if you recall from the 2 part American Experience Circus documentary, there are accounts of many elephants and their trainers within the circus, having very tender friendly relationships. Something to consider.

[@BombDame]

Ah yes. Like Jumbo

[@fisherdog06]

They don't have elephants at the museum anymore.

[@FTY13]

Yes unfortunately despite the fact that Ringling Brother's won the court case and proved that the animal rights people were making up all the sht they were saying, it's left the public with a stigmatism that shouldn't be there because it's all lies

[@FTY13]

Ok third comment I think that's rather condescending to say circuses are for children only they were family entertainment which is why it was so popular right up until the time the animal rights groups lied about the conditions of the animals and had this show when many others closed
