Why do you never get catcalled when you're using an umbrella? Why do we put tiny umbrellas in cocktails? And is very fast air the future of umbrellas? You might have wondered why we didn't ask these questions in episode 22 of the School for Dumb Women, when we spoke to umbrella expert Marion Rankine. But the good news is, we did ask! And you can hear the answers right here in our bonus episode. Brolliology: A history of the umbrella in life and literature by Marion Rankine is out now, published by Melville House.
