Hello listeners, this is Tom Myers. I am back and Greg and I are putting together an amazing new lineup of shows for the spring.

Now while we're working on next week's newest episode, we thought we'd give you a little sampling of one of our favorite new shows.

It's called History Daily.

I am really excited to introduce the show to you. If you haven't already heard it,

I am a big fan of the podcast American scandal and American history tellers, which are both hosted by the award-winning producer and narrator, Lindsey Graham.

That's the podcaster, Lindsey Graham, not the political one.

Right. And he brings some old time radio drama techniques to exploring history.

And he does it again in his new show, History Daily, which takes you back in time every single weekday to explore a momentous event that happened

on this day in history, whether it's to remember the tragedy of December 7th, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, or to celebrate the 20th day of July, 1969, when mankind reached the moon.

History Daily tells you the true stories of the people and the events that shaped our world one day at a time.

So we thought we'd give you a sampling of two episodes of History Daily that we think you'll enjoy.

One on the great merging of circuses by Impressarios, PT Barnum and James Bailey.

And after that, how about a little bit of gay paris with the opening of the Eiffel Tower?

I mean, Paris and circuses, two of my favorite subjects.

After listening to these episodes, be sure to subscribe to History Daily, wherever you get your podcasts.

And Greg and I will see you next week.

It's July 6th, 1944, and the circus has come to Hartford, Connecticut.

Inside a big top 10 trapeze artists, lion tamers, and fire eaters dazzle the people of Hartford with astonishing feats.

Thousands of people have flocked to the circus today, and there's not an open seat in the house.

Backstage of 45-year-old clown named Emmett Kelly waits for his cue to enter.

As he stands behind the curtain, Emmett wipes his brown, taking care not to smudge his white face paint.

It's a swerved-rangingly hot day in Connecticut, and beneath his heavy costume, Emmett is sweating buckets.
