Money is a very strange thing. All of us use it. We spend it, earn it, and save it. We know it when we see it.


Yet, even some of the world’s best economists have a very hard time defining it. 

It has been around for thousands of years, yet there is still innovation being made with it today.

Learn more about the history of money, how it came about and how it developed over time, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Spring Cleaning Made Simple

Spring is here and for many people, that means it’s time for spring cleaning! A recent survey from the American Cleaning Institute found nearly 80% of American adults do some form of spring cleaning every year.

But let’s be honest: it can be daunting or feel pointless if we can’t keep the place clean the rest of the year. To make it all feel a little more doable, and a little less stressful, I’m talking with the expert known as “Clean Mama.” Her real name is Becky Rapinchuck and she was on the show a few years ago, as well.

She’s the founder of "CleanMama.com" and regularly shares her advice with more than 750,000 followers on Instagram. Today, you’ll learn how to set yourself up for spring cleaning success and how to keep a cleaner, less cluttered home – the kind that will make you feel more relaxed 365 days a year.

The Gist - The Interest Rates Are Too Damn Low!

For years and years the line among liberal fiscal policy experts were that low interest rates, even 0% interest rates were the best thing to do to help struggling Americans gain employment and grow wealth. Only the wealthy, and those excessively fearful of inflation wanted them raised. But Christopher Leonard author of The Lords of Easy Money: How the Federal Reserve Broke the American Economy, tells a different story. Plus, texts from Mike Lee and an Antwentig from Mike P.

Consider This from NPR - What a Rare Holiday Overlap Means In a Time That Seems ‘Catastrophic’

This weekend, followers of three major religions are observing some of their most sacred holidays. Many will do so together, in person, for the first time in years.

Easter, Passover, and Ramadan all have their own symbolism and themes. And it's not a stretch to tie any of those themes to world events; from the COVID-19 pandemic to the war in Ukraine.

We invited three faith leaders to tell us about the messages they're bringing to their congregations during a difficult time – and a holy time: Reverend Marshall Hatch of the New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago, Senior Rabbi Ruth Zlotnick of Temple Beth Am in Seattle, and Imam Mohamed Herbert from The Islamic Society of Tulsa.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

State of the World from NPR - What do Russians think of the war? Jews who fled Ukraine reflect on Passover

How a pollster in Russia is gauging public opinion about the war in Ukraine. And the Passover story is about displacement and the search for a promised land. It has special resonance for Jews who escaped the fighting in Ukraine and are now scattered across the world.

CrowdScience - How should we measure cleverness?

The team at CrowdScience have spent years answering all sorts of listener questions, which must make them pretty smart, right? IN this week’s episode, that assumption is rigorously tested as Marnie Chesterton and the team pit their wits against a multitude of mindbending puzzles from an old TV gameshow - all in the name of answering a question from Antonia in Cyprus.

She wants to know: how do we work out how clever someone is? Is IQ the best measure of cleverness? Why do we put such weight on academic performance? And where does emotional intelligence fit into it all?

In the search for answers, presenter Marnie Chesterton and the team are locked in rooms to battle mental, physical, mystery and skill-based challenges, all against the clock. Unpicking their efforts in the studio are a global team of cleverness researchers: Dr Stuart Ritchie from Kings College London, Professor Sophie von Stumm from York University and Dr Alex Burgoyne, from Georgia Institute of Technology in the US.

They are challenged to face the toughest questions in their field: Why do men and women tend to perform differently in these tests? Is our smartness in our genes? And what about the Flynn effect – where IQs appear to have risen, decade after decade, around the world.
