The Panama hat is famous worldwide — and misnamed. In this solo episode, I trace the story of an object that has come to symbolize travel, elegance, and exoticism, while its true origins are often overlooked.

I talk about its roots in Montecristi, about craftsmanship and time, trade routes and global perception — and about how a false name became a lasting truth.
