I got an email last week from someone who couldn’t sleep.

First let me warn you there’s a little bit of rough audio tape here. (The first minute, but it’s worth it.) In this episode I check in after the first town on the tour and things are off to a rough start. Then one morning I make an interesting discovery out on the circus lot.

I’m out here taking a walk. It’s six in the morning. No one else is awake.

Rainbow over Chapiteau It doesn’t feel great being an entire day late for work. But here’s a rainbow to cheer you up. How about a walk around the circus lot?

This is the first episode in the 2016 season. Looks like I’ll be going back out on the road again.

I’m just going to start right into this. It’s too weird to set up in any way. an older limo

I was home on a break from the circus. Me and my sister are informally hanging out and probing the depths of each other’s minds. This was originally published in December 2006.

This is the second part of a two-part episode. It’s about my sister. I recorded this in 2014 and published it in 2015.

This is part 1 of a two-part episode about my sister Lisa. I recorded it in 2014 and published it in 2015.

I podcast this originally in 2007. It contains stories of regret and panic from the circus lot. There’s a real gem in there about Alex Blatt losing his alarm clock and his mind on the same day. Also contained here, and my reason for re-broadcasting this, is the original telling of the Richard Fick story. If you want to hear the updated, full length Richard Fick story I’ll tell you right here. Don’t forget to like me on Facebook. Listen or review in iTunes. Subscribe in iTunes. Subscribe in a reader
