Ep 08. The Circus Arrives Without Warning

This week, we're taking a deep dive into the history of the circus! Learn all of the fascinating backstory behind stage magic, ringmasters and everything in between as we discuss The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. The game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.
