My name is Joshua Topolsky and I have a new podcast called What Future.

But I want to tell you that I'm being forced by my producer to record a promo telling you about my show.

And I'm not trying to force you to listen to it.

And maybe you're not interested in internet culture and the future of life on planet Earth.

And why John Carpenter movies are so good.

You may just want to listen to a podcast about, I don't know, sports or whatever Joe Rogan talks about.

And that's fine, you know, no judgment.

But if you like what you're hearing and I know that you do, you can listen to all of what future on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm John Dundee who solemnly swear to uphold the Constitution of the state of Montana against all enemies, foreign and domestic featuring an all-star cast led by Academy Award winner Kevin Costner.

The invasion is over. They will fight you dirty. Is there any other way? As the Dutton family fights to protect their legacy, they'll learn power has a price.

Sign in as a declaration of war. We're already at war.

Yellowstone, new episodes, Sundays at 8 p.m. Eastern exclusively on Paramount Network.

Happy Saturday everybody. P.T. Barnum has gotten a couple of name drops on the show lately and there is another coming up this week.

So we are bringing out our episode on him as today's classic.

This originally came out on May 16th, 2012 from previous hosts of the show Sarah and DeBlinah.

Enjoy.

Welcome to Stuff You Missed in History class, a production of I Heart Radio.

Hello and welcome to the podcast. I'm Sarah Dowdy and I'm DeBlinah Chakraborti.

We have a few podcast regulars who we like to talk about. Queen Victoria, of course, seems to pop up in the most unlikely of episodes as does Arthur Conan Doyle.

Lord Byron had a little run there for a while, but P.T. Barnum may have the strangest record of all of those folks, I think.

If an episode takes place in the 19th century, you'll often find P.T. Barnum somewhere in it trying to buy something, trying to hustle someone.

Once I learned a little bit more about his life, though, those regular appearances seemed a lot less unlikely because in life, he really was everywhere buying odds and ends off of folks, cooking up hoaxes, entertaining celebrities, even running for state legislature.
