“Becoming Barnum: The Journey to Fame and Fortune” is a podcast presented by The Barnum Museum in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The podcast is based on the museum’s award-winning blog series and explores the life of P.T. Barnum through a collection of 750-page copybook letters written by Barnum during his travels in Europe in the 1840s. The letters offer insights into Barnum as a husband, father, and businessman, as well as his mentorship of child actor-entertainer General Tom Thumb. The podcast explores the hardscrabble world of show business in the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the life and mind of the man behind the legend. Support for this project is provided by the City of Bridgeport, People’s United, and the Connecticut Humanities and National Endowment for the Humanities. Join us on this journey through history and discover the real person behind the legendary “P.T. Barnum.” Listen to our episodes and follow along as we uncover the fascinating story of Barnum’s rise to fame and fortune.
