1 小时 21 分钟Oh, hey, it's the last guy at the campfire pouring Pepsi on the Umbers, Allie Ward.
Did you ever think you'd have a whole episode on brooms?
Me neither.
Here we are.
It continues to be Spooktober.
You've got cinnamon brooms on the brain, which is in your windows.
Let's get into it with an artist, educator, historical researcher, and yes, a broom squire.
Speaking of broom, the word comes from the plants, brooms, which have these stiff kind of bristly...
Twigs that work well to sweep stuff away.
And scopa means broom in Greek and in Latin.
And listen, I wanted this to be titled scopology.
But alas, our guest and the historical record and various craft references
and books informed me that yes, broomology is the official study.
Do not tell me I'm making it up.
That's real.
But first, thank you so much to patrons of the show who support
ologies for one hot dollar a month and submit questions before we record.
Thank you to everyone out there wearing ologies merch from ologiesmerch.com.
If you need kid-friendly, swear-free ologies episodes, you can find them in their own feed, wherever you get podcasts.
They're called Smologies, S-M-O-L-O-G-I-E-S.
