    We explore Disney's love affair with the circus and also uncover the history of the Mickey Mouse Club Circus . OH Yeah - thats right ...Walt Disney + Disneyland tried their hand at running their very own circus within the confines of the Disneyland park during its first year in business. It was very elaborate + VERY short lived. Hop on this wild ride with us - No height requirement!

    Le Pétomane: The Fartiste of the Moulin Rouge

    Send us a text

    Today's episode is a rootin tootin ride as we transport back to the high brow performances of 19th century Paris and the world famous Moulin Rouge - strap your booties in ( are you getting the posterior references here...) We are discussing Joseph Pujol the most famous and most well paid "Fartiste" that had graced the stage. This episode is a gut buster, so get ready for a stupid and silly journey back in time as we explore the fascinating performances of Le Pétomane - the fartomaniac.

Great stories, Marc ruins it

Interesting and well researched stories. The female host is knowledge and does a wonderful job! The guy is awful to the point where this is almost unlistenable. He constantly interrupts to derail the story and go on tangents or makes jokes that are not funny - it’s like a 40 something guy with a 14 year old sense of humor and it’s annoying and distracting. This would be all around 5 stars if he left the podcast.
