the memory palace - Introducing Charlie’s Place: A Cultural Haven That Brought People Together Through Music

Here’s a preview from a new podcast, Charlie’s Place. 

How did a Black man in the 1940s Jim Crow South open a club where Black and white people danced together? Charlie’s Place was revolutionary, and that meant it was dangerous. Host Rhym Guissé explores the unbelievable true story of Charlie Fitzgerald, a mysterious Black businessman whose nightclub became an unlikely site of integration in Myrtle Beach. Charlie broke down racial barriers through the power of music and dance, hosting some of the greatest musicians of our time: Little Richard, Count Basie, Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, and many more. But who was Charlie? How did he rise to power? And what price did he pay for achieving the impossible—an integrated club in the Jim Crow South? This is a story of joy and passion that erupted into violence and changed a community forever. Listen to Charlie’s Place wherever you get your podcasts.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Air Conditioning (Encore)

One of the biggest problems that humanity has faced for thousands of years is heat. 

Excessive heat made it difficult to work in the middle of the day. Heat was especially problematic in the tropics, where a shockingly large percentage of humanity lived. 

As cities became more developed, excess heat, all year round, became a limiting factor in how tall buildings could get. 

All of these problems were solved with one invention.

Learn more about air conditioning and how it helped usher in the modern world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Sinking of the Mignonette and Justified Cannibalism

On May 19, 1884, a small yacht containing four men set sail from England to Australia. 

On July 5th, the ship was hit by a massive wave and capsized. 

The crew escaped the shipwreck on a lifeboat, but was left in a horrible situation. They were hundreds of miles from land, with no fresh water, and a single pound of turnips for food.

Three weeks later, on July 25, food was out, and the men were still adrift, and the sailors made the decision to kill and eat one of their own. 

Learn more about the sinking of the Mignonette and the legal ethics of cannibalism on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Battle of Cajamarca (Encore)

Some of the most important battles in history, the ones that changed the course of civilizations, are often very small battles. 

In 1532, a battle, really just a skirmish, took place, which completely changed the future paths of Peru, Spain, and the entire continent of South America. 

Despite the importance of this battle, few people have ever even heard of it. 

Learn more about the Battle of Cajamarca and how it changed the shape of the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Curious City - Car, bike, public transit: What’s the best way to get around town?

What would win in a race between a car, bike and the Chicago Transit Authority? Over the past few years, Chicago has been abuzz with road construction projects. There are more protected bike lanes, pedestrian refuge islands and curb bump-outs across the city. As we learned in our last episode, that also includes the installation of miniature traffic circles in residential areas. It’s all in service to make the roads safer by slowing cars down. Safer streets is a win, but it doesn’t necessarily satisfy the urge to get somewhere fast. Cycling and public transportation are viable alternatives, but sometimes it’s hard to separate yourself from the convenience of driving somewhere. In this episode, the Curious City team puts the different modes of transportation to the test in a good old-fashioned transit race. From the Garfield Park Conservatory to Navy Pier, who will win? Car, bike or public transportation? Plus, Midwest correspondent for the Economist, Daniel Knowles makes the case for why we should rethink our relationship with cars, and answers why the fastest isn’t always the best. “People will always drive if it's the most convenient or the quickest way,” said Knowles, author of “Carmeggedon: How Cars Make Life Worse and What to Do About It.” “You can't exhort people to change, you have to kind of change the incentives.”
