For a period of about 200 years, and really intensely for less than 50 years, the world’s monetary system functioned on a gold standard. 


During the gold standard, the world basically functioned for the first time under a single global currency. 


Economists have been debating the merits of the system ever since. 

 

Learn more about the gold standard, how it started, and how it ended, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In God We Lust - Wondery Presents: Will Be Wild

Will Be Wild is a new 8-part series about the forces that led to the January 6th insurrection and what comes next. Through in-depth stories from a wide range of characters – from people who tried to stop the attack to those who took part – hosts Andrea Bernstein and Ilya Marritz explore the ongoing effort to bring autocracy to America, the lasting damage that effort is doing to our democracy, and the fate of our attempts to combat those anti-democratic forces. Because January 6th wasn't the end of the story, January 6th was just a practice run.

Follow Will Be Wild wherever you get your podcasts, or you can listen early on Amazon Music or early and ad-free by subscribing to Wondery Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondery app.

NPR's Book of the Day - Mortality, politics, and the power of poetry in Colm Tóibín’s ‘Vinegar Hill’

After more than a dozen novels and collections of short stories, Irish writer ColmTóibín recently published his first book of poetry. His new collection, Vinegar Hill, examines a wide range of subjects: from mortality, religion, and the current political climate, to the power of poetry in life's most important moments. To celebrate Poetry Month, Tóibín read some of his poems to Scott Simon on Weekend Edition Saturday, and said that he wanted to write without the usual adornments of poetry. In a way, he hopes the simplicity of his writing will have more expression and power.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Iffland Ring

Subscribe to the podcast! 

https://podfollow.com/everythingeverywhere/


August Wilhelm Iffland was one of the finest German actors in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. 

That fact alone would probably not make him worthy of a podcast episode. What does make him worthy of a podcast episode is a ring that bears his name which has been passed down from actor to actor for over 200 years. 

It is a tradition that is still ongoing today.

Learn more about the Iffland Ring and the very odd tradition surrounding it, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Rise, Fall, and Possible Rise of the Wooly Mammoth

Subscribe to the podcast! 

https://podfollow.com/everythingeverywhere/


Thousands of years ago, enormous furry elephants roamed the northern latitudes of Europe, Asia, and North America. 


While these animals are now extinct, they were actually around much more recently than most people realize, and because of where and when they existed, we know a shocking amount about them. 


Learn more about Mammuthus primigenius, aka the wooly mammoth, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
