Everything Everywhere Daily - The Six Star General

If you look at the list of officer ranks in the United States armed forces, there are 10 ranks listed which are held today They go from Second Lieutenant all the way up to the rank of General, which is the four-star variant of the rank.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The 1960 Popular Vote

There have been 5 acknowledged presidential elections in US history where the winner of the popular vote did not win in the electoral college. However, there is a very good argument to be made that there is a sixth election that should be added to that list. The conventional wisdom holds that John F. Kennedy narrowly beat Richard Nixon in the 1960 popular vote by 112,827 votes. However, to get to this number, you have to put a tortured spin on the numbers from one state in particular.

Byzantium And The Crusades - The First Crusade Episode 2 “The Siege Of Antioch”

This podcast series tells the story of the Crusades from the Byzantine angle. It's based on the book "The Byzantine World War" by Nick Holmes. In this episode, we hear how the Crusaders laid siege to Antioch, a huge and heavily fortified city, that had previously been the third city of the Roman Empire. The siege would take months and nearly broke the Crusade.

Please take a look at my website nickholmesauthor.com where you can download a free copy of The Byzantine World War, my book that describes the origins of the First Crusade.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Zero, My Hero

This episode is about nothing.

Not in the sense that Seinfield was a TV show about nothing, but rather this is literally about nothing. 

 

It is about the number zero. 

 

A number that few people bother to give much thought to, yet without it, modern mathematics wouldn’t exist and neither would any of the technologies we’ve developed over the centuries.

 

Learn more about the fascinating history of zero, and why it took so long to develop on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
