Kevin Venardos– the visionary proprietor of Venardos Circus.

Discover how this 245-dates-a-year spectacle, roaming the USA, embodies the "delectable dichotomy" of the dazzling and the deviant. We explore the boundless curiosity and passion for the unusual that drives Venardos, transforming what some might dismiss as "carne-trash" into a "bonafide cornucopia of grit and grime, wit and wonder." This episode is a deep dive into the audacious blend of daring spectacle, heartwarming artistry, and the timeless allure of a life lived on the road. If your own life has grown a tad too mundane, this is your invitation to embrace tasteful deviancy and satisfy your peculiar curiosity. Tune in to hear how Venardos Circus dares us all to "Live Your Circus Dreams" and proves that the spirit of the vagabond can find its grandest expression under the big top.
