Unknown to many, the Bloomington-Normal (Illinois) area along The Mother Road is the birthplace to aerial circus performance in America. Join host Anthony Arno as he dives deep into circus life along Route 66 with three very special guests, who have committed their lives to aerial circus performance and preservation. Wayne Wright was a human cannonball, being shot out of a cannon over 1100 times. Marcus Alouan is the current director of the Gamma Phi Circus, the oldest collegiate circus in America located on Route 66 at Illinois State University, and Maureen Brunsdale, author of The Bloomington-Normal Circus Legacy.
