S4 Ep323: History of the Umbrella & Ziryab, the Guy Who Changed Culture Forever
It’s time for history you probably didn’t learn in school! Kathleen goes way back in time to the invention of the umbrella. (Fun fact: the rain had nothing to do with it!) Then, Bethany talks about a genius who lived roughly 1,200 years ago and yet still affects how we live today (especially if you love a three-course meal…) Also, Bethany tells you why you can NEVER GO IN THE OCEAN AGAIN. Heck, you may even want to avoid puddles just to be safe.
