Subscribe to the podcast!

Statistically speaking, about 90% of you listening to my words right now are right-handed. Of the rest of you, almost all of you will be left-handed. 

The question of why so many more people are right-handed as opposed to left-handed is one that people have asked for centuries. It is an imbalance that has existed throughout history and across every culture.

Learn more about righties and lefties and why the imbalance between them exists, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

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.

One of the most successful enterprises of the Middle Ages was a collection of free cities located in Northern Germany and along the North and Baltic Seas. 


These cities created one of the greatest trade networks that the world had ever seen and for several centuries dominated trade and economics in Northern Europe.


It was the early prototype for successful trade organizations in the future.

NPR's Book of the Day - A Douglas Stuart double feature! ‘Shuggie Bain’ and ‘Young Mungo’

Both interviews today are with author Douglas Stuart. The first about his Booker prize-winning Shuggie Bain; a story based on his own life growing up a queer son of a single mother struggling with addiction. He told NPR's Scott Simon that he hoped people could find comfort in this story. Next, Stuart spoke to NPR's Ari Shapiro about his new book, Young Mungo. It's a story about two boys separated by faith who end up falling in love with each other. Stuart told Shapiro that when he "write[s] about heartbreak or sadness, I'm really only doing that to make the tenderness and the love shine more."
