Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here!

Pressurize the seltzer, polish up your big red nose and prepare your face for pie because on this week’s episode we’re discussing not just the exceedingly ancient history of clowns but their strangely coherent set of symbols and mythology spanning multiple time periods and cultures concluding with the Heyoka of the Native American Sioux tribes.
