Our Editor's Take

The creators of Everything Everywhere Daily chose an accurate description for the name of their podcast. The show teaches listeners about everything happening everywhere. It's an entertaining educational podcast. It showcases a different random topic to examine for each 15-minute episode. There is a new episode out every day.

Blogger and photographer Gary Arndt, a self-described polymath, hosts the podcast. He has traveled to hundreds of places in the world. The host is well-positioned to share his knowledge with listeners. Arndt has boundless curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. He conducts extensive research for each episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The topics Arndt chooses for each day's podcast episode could be almost anything. Sometimes the podcast talks about people. He spends one episode telling listeners about Sun Yat Sen who once ruled China. In another, he tells the story of the famous escape artist Harry Houdini.

Arndt likes to talk about places in Everything Everywhere Daily. The history of Venice gets an episode. He also discusses life along the Amazon River. In another podcast episode, he discusses the political importance of the Panama Canal.

Historical events have their place in the podcast as well. The host explains the Cuban Missile Crisis in one episode. In another, he tells the story of the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster.

Arndt doesn't forget to mention interesting phenomena and inventions. He explains what El Niño and La Niña are and why they matter. He also tells the listener what RADAR is and how the technology works

Arndt's real gift is the ability to explain complicated ideas in ways that make sense in everyday language. He can explain and summarize a complex concept or event in only 10-15 minutes. Listening to the podcast leaves a person feeling enlightened but not overwhelmed.

Everything Everywhere Daily is an important podcast. It's a great choice for anyone who likes learning new things. Both children and adults may enjoy the podcast. Because of its length, it's easy to fit in an episode. Some listeners make it a part of a daily learning habit.

The 1204 Crusader Sack of Constantinople
2d ago
The 1204 Crusader Sack of Constantinople
One of the defining events of the Middle Ages took place in Constantinople on April 12, 1204.  Soldiers of the Fourth Crusade, under orders of the Doge of the Republic of Venice, breached the walls and sacked one of the greatest cities of the era.  The sack wasn’t just an orgy of violence and destruction, which it was. It also set into motion events that caused irreparable divisions between the Eastern and Western Christian worlds and, ultimately, the fall of the Byzantine Empire.  Learn more about the 1204 Sack of Constantinople and how it changed the course of Europe on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The United States Supreme Court
Sep 26 2024
The United States Supreme Court
The United States Constitution identifies three separate branches of government: the executive, the legislative, and the judicial. Each branch has a set of checks and balances, which, in theory, limits the power of the others.  Two of those branches are outlined in detail in the Constitution. The third, the judicial, is given very little mention in comparison to the other two, and much of its workings and its power in relation to the other two, had to be created over time.  Learn more about the United States Supreme Court, its founding, and its development on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam
Sep 21 2024
The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam
For decades, the nation of Ethiopia has dreamed of creating a damn on the Blue Nile River.  Such a dam would provide an enormous amount of electricity for a country that is one of the lowest electricity consumers in the world. Such a project would be a massive undertaking and it would also bring a great deal of prestige to the country.  What was once a dream began to become a reality in the 21st century, and today is producing energy for the country. However, the project has also caused problems with many of its neighbors.  Learn more about the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, how it was built as well as how it has impacted the country and its neighbors, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

What is Calculus? (Encore)
Sep 19 2024
What is Calculus? (Encore)
As early as 2400 years ago, Greek philosophers were coming up with paradoxes that seemingly had no solution.  Early mathematicians came up with problems that seemed impossible to solve. It wasn’t until the 17th century that the techniques were finally developed to solve these problems and unlock new fields of science and mathematics.  Learn more about calculus, what it is, and what it attempts to do on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
