BRF17: "Beard"

Today is World Beard Day! And we celebrated by putting together this episode! Listen in to find out all the wonderful traditions you can now begin annually to celebrate the togetherness of person and beard. As always we have lots of history - stories we never really imagined we'd be talking about, but there you have it. The many medical marvels and perils of that fabulous mop of hair and we unravel the mystery of why the King of Hearts is the only one in the deck without facial hair and why he seems to be stabbing himself in the head (hint: it's not anguish caused from not having a beard unfortunately). Barely Researched Facts is a facts-based show (barely) brought to you by ArtNowThus, a Mumbai-based experiential arts company. Born out of the infamous lockdown of 2020, the show is a trip down dissection lane – of words. Every episode, the hosts Ragini and Shar choose one word and deep dive into it. Every interesting fact we can find, we research – somewhat casually – and bring to you, pairing it with some good humour and casual chat between two friends. Come take a listen!
