BRF24: "Speed"

Barely Researched Facts

Speeding towards the new year, this episode sets the tone by starting off with a great segment on speed limits! There's some pretty cute history on this one.
Making things racy - Shar has a little girl crush we explore this episode. Yes, we went there!
Also, if you think men today aren't manly enough (not our words), you must hear this segment about Peter McAllister and his study into the deeply inadequate modern man (again, not our words and truly a legitimate study)
And finally:
- Why do Kenyans run so fast?
- Why is a ship's speed measured in knots?
- And why aren't we all panicking about being hurtled through the deep space as we stand on the ground in gay abandon.
As always, enjoy!

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!
