Additional random amazements discussed this week

 

Well-known TV writer and author David Bickell has an unusual and somewhat kooky book and website called Creepiosity. He talks with us about what he finds really creepy in this already strange world and sideshow veteran and entrepreneur Ward Hall explains why he feels that freaks are still a viable entertainment option on today’s carnival midway.

We meet Father John, the Carny Priest who travels across America tending to his flock of itinerant show people; Intern Kyle introduces us to a man who has run 365 full marathons in 365 days; and Ripley’s archivist Edward Meyer explains how the marathon got its name and describes the amazing collection of Olympic torches in the Ripley collection.
