El Circo Magico Modelo
For 40 years, photographer Macduff Everton has been documenting the Maya of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. In his book "The Modern Maya" he tells the stories of a people and a culture in transition. As a young man, Macduff and his close friend Charles Demangate spent several years as members of Circo Magico Modelo, a family circus that tours the villages and towns of the region. The two sat with producer Diane Bock to share their tales of life with the circus.

Seeking Rougue and Orphan Audio
AudioDocumentary.org is looking to feature pieces of audio -- maybe resting deep in your archives on a dusty external hard drive -- that may be too long, too edgy, too sexy, or just too weird for main stream radio.
Maybe it has the F-bomb. We don't mind the F-bomb.
This is the first step in a new push at AD to feature more original, exclusive content in addition to our carefully chosen, "curated" links to high quality, free audio content online. We thought we'd start at the most logical place for an "unprofit" outfit such as ours -- digging through the trash to feast on discarded table scraps. Contributors will be paid with undying gratitude, a fitting memorial, and a satisfying sense of closure.
Of course, as always, continue sending us anything you find interesting -- links, news, tips, suggestions, and your orphan audio. Please send to info@audiodocumentary.org.
Thanks,
David Maxon
