To The Hilt Deep Dive Podcast Ep 1.10 Mighty Ajax: A Sword Swallower’s History of Sword Swallowing
In this episode, we interview two grandsons of sword swallower Joseph Milana, better known as the Mighty Ajax, who started performing around the age of 18, and went on to tour perform with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show in Europe at age 18, with Coney Island Sideshows for over 50 years, Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus, with Hubert’s Museum, with Ripley’s Believe It or Not, and with many other circuses and sideshows over 55 years without a serious injury!
Mighty Ajax’s story comes from his chapter in the book “To The Hilt: A Sword Swallower’s History of Sword Swallowing” by sword swallower Dan Meyer and sideshow historian Marc Hartzman (Schiffer Publishing), now available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Target, Walmart and more:
