BRF23: "Roof"

For something that's meant to facilitate dryness, this word turned out to be anything but!

We start off with one of the most famous roofs in the world - the iconic domed roofs of the Taj Mahal. Architecture aside, we managed to uncover a juicy little archeological conspiracy theory - fun!
Moving west, Shar takes us to the cute little thatched roofs in England. After which we swiftly ran out of regular roof things to talk about, so we come back east to the Roof of the World. This segment is aces for any other anthropology nerds out there - come find us.
Also what does your roofing preference say about your political leanings and what is the true point of the roof of your mouth.
We've clearly covered everything about roofs that we could. And we leave you with this little riddle before you embark on your listening - what is a baby roof called? You know what to do.

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!
