Thousands of years ago, humans discovered a black-yellowish liquid that come out from the ground and could burn when it was set on fire. 


Today, the fluid that seeped from the rocks is responsible for much of our modern world.


But how does that fluid become usable fuel, and how exactly do you get it out of the rocks? 


Learn more about petroleum, aka crude oil, and how it gets from the ground to your vehicle, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Author Tessa Hadley writes a juicy tale of the bourgeois in ‘Free Love’

Author Tess Hadley's new novel opens with an affair, but that's not really what the book is about. Free Love is set in the 1960s just outside of London and it starts with a wealthy woman in her 40s, Phyllis, sharing a secret kiss with a much younger man who is not her husband (gasp). The kiss has unintended consequences and Phyllis has to figure out what she really wants out of life. Hadley told NPR's Elissa Nadworny that being part of the bourgeois is not something she's familiar with, but she loves to write about it because she doesn't think that world exists anymore.

If you were to ask most people what the very first invention that humans came up with is, many of them might say the wheel. 


It isn’t a bad guess, but believe it not, the wheel was nowhere close to being the first invention. 


In fact, as far as we know, there were a whole bunch of things that were invented before the wheel, and in fact, probably had to have been invented before the wheel.


Learn more about why the wheel wasn’t invented sooner, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
