Circus Magic, Broadway Buzz, and Italy Escapes

Audio By Carbonatix

This week’s Fun Friday kicks off with Kevin and Cristyne joyfully dodging political fatigue and embracing the festive season ahead. With elections behind them (mostly), they’re ready to swap campaign ads for circus acts and Broadway lights. Kevin’s thrilled to be past Halloween and election week, while Cristyne reminds him that politics never truly sleep—hello, surprise governor’s race!

The duo dives into the holiday spirit with excitement over the Big Apple Circus and the Radio City Rockettes’ centennial celebration. The circus promises international flair, jaw-dropping trapeze feats, and foot-juggling Italians—yes, really. Ringmaster Brett Alters guides audiences through a dazzling lineup of never-before-seen acts, making this year’s show a true spectacle.

Broadway takes center stage as Zachary Stewart from TheaterMania joins to preview the season. From celebrity-packed revivals like Waiting for Godot starring Keanu Reeves, to emotionally rich dramas like Ragtime and Liberation, the stage is set for a thrilling winter. Stewart’s encyclopedic knowledge and sharp insights make him the perfect guide to what’s hot (and what’s not) on the Great White Way.

The episode also teases a tantalizing travel opportunity: a hosted trip to Italy in fall 2026. With stops in Rome and the Amalfi Coast, Kevin, Linda, and possibly Cristyne and Aimee will lead a small group through pasta, piazzas, and gelato galore. With only 32 seats available, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that promises laughter, luxury, and lots of carbs.

Cristyne wraps up with weekend tips including Cheese & Wine Week, Bryant Park’s Winter Village, and the upcoming Veterans Day Parade. From circus tents to Broadway marquees, this Fun Friday episode is a whirlwind of culture, cuisine, and celebration—proof that the best kind of politics is no politics at all.
