   Some #CircusInPlace regulars have encouraged us to record a podcast.

   I argued that we would have to lock ourselves in a closet in order to get a clean recording. It was quickly pointed out that locking two clowns in a closet and forcing them to answer questions would be a terrific premise for such a project.

   And so, I need your help!

   What questions would you like to hear answered by two classically-trained theater and circus clowns kept under lock and key until they provide a response?

     @RussSharek When people use "clown car" or "clown world" to describe politics they dislike or even hate, is your response to:
     
     1. work hard to reclaim the word "clown", educate people
     2. consider a new word
     3. expect people to know the difference between different uses of a word
     4. not care
     5. be sad
     6. be proud
     7. something else, all or some of the above, etc

     @RussSharek How did you explain your choice of profession to the people in your life when going off to clown school? Was it always your plan or did you discover it later, maybe after some false starts? How do you think your performances affect people in the long term? What's the most "serious" thing you studied for clowning?

     Another #question for “Two Clowns, One Closet”: How do real #clown situations differ from their usual portrayals in popular media? For example:

     The Birthday Party

     Busking in the Tourist Quarter

     Between Burlesque Acts

     Distracting Bulls Away From Fallen Cowboys

     Oh so you are already familiar with how podcasts are made.
