Broomology (BROOMS) with Cate O’Connell-Richards

تفصیل

Whisks and witches. Bristles and Shakers. Potions and prisons. From making brooms to jumping them, teacher, author, broomsquire, and Broomologist Cate O'Connell Richards gives us the overlooked history of how that broom got in your garage. So light a candle and tuck in for fibers, harvests, how-tos, angel wings, hawktails, besoms, labor laws, Broomcorn Johnnies, utopic communes, wedding traditions, oral histories, care tips and how everything is more interesting with context. Even brooms. Content warning as requested by the guest: when we talk about history, especially witches, there may be mentions of violence, death or sexuality.Visit Cate’s website and store and follow them on InstagramA donation went to Prison Arts CollectiveMore episode sources and linksOther episodes you may enjoy: Spooktober: Topics to Startle and Love, Canistrumology (BASKET WEAVING), Ceramology (POTTERY), Witchology (WITCHES & WITCHCRAFT), Ethnoecology (ETHNOBOTANY/NATIVE PLANTS), Disinfectiology (BLEACH), Cabinology (CABINS), Traumatology (PTSD), Nomology (THE CONSTITUTION) 400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topicSmologies (short, classroom-safe) episodesSponsors of OlogiesTranscripts and bleeped episodesBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a monthOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on Instagram and BlueskyFollow Alie Ward on Instagram and TikTokEditing by Mercedes Maitland of Maitland Audio Productions and Jake ChaffeeManaging Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by Kelly R.
