Listen to this: Gibtown
At one time Gibsonton, Florida was considered the oddest town in America. The fire chief was Al Tomaini the giant. The second deputy of police was a dwarf. The sideshow fat man was also the town’s auto mechanic. And Gibsonton still boasts the only post office in the country with a special counter for midgets. “Gibtown” has long been the off-season home for carnival sideshow performers. But these days it is more of a retirement village.
Once you get through the dreadful (but thankfully short) ‘anytown in America’ intro – it’s good, well-made, surprising, funny and compassionate radio. About a pack of weirdos.
It’s made by the Radio Diaries people (whose site I have recommended to you among others on that list to your right). Enjoy.
