Circa Sunday Night
Say goodbye to sleeplessness and the "Sunday Night Dreads." Direct from Circa19xx.com comes Circa Sunday Night, a quirky little show that explores an idealized version of yesterday as an escape from the turmoil of today. Come along as we discover intriguing stories from history, shop amazing antique stores and markets, explore beautiful mansions and places of note in yesteryear, immerse ourselves in the forgotten music of times gone by, and get acquainted with the glittering personalities, artists, writers, and taste makers of the early 20th Century. It's time travel for the imagination--and the cure for insomnia. It's Circa Sunday Night. If you like the show, and aren't afraid to admit it, won't you please leave a favorable review on your favorite podcast platform? Jennifer, our host, needs almost constant affirmation.
