Show notes

Episode 31: Alison returns to talk with Timothy about historical wild men of a different sort (not bigfoot). Circus sideshow and dime museum "wild men" performers as well as unfortunate souls - itinerants, the insane, or simply people who wandered away from society, looked different, and were labeled "wild men" often out of fear. We talk about Houdini, The Wild Men of Borneo, the Fiji Cannibals, Eko and Iko, and other circus performers.
