Hi friends, happy Thursday! Welcome to the Dark History podcast. Clowns, you either like them or you hate them. There really isn’t much of an in-between. But how could something as simple as a clown manage to get such strong opinions from people? In today’s episode we explore the long, dark, drunk, and complicated history of the clown. And I knew this story would be dark, but ooo boy, this was even darker than I expected. I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. Want some cool Bailey Merch?
