Everything Everywhere Daily - Didius Julianus: The Man Who Bought An Empire
Throughout the history of the Roman Empire, there were 96 men who are considered to have been Roman Emperors, from Augustus to Romulus Augustulus.
Most of them came to power via being appointed by their predecessor, through military conquest, or through good old-fashioned scheming and treachery.
However, there was one man who ascended to the title of emperor in a totally unique way.
Learn more about Didius Julianus and how he became the Roman Emperor in an auction on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Pros & Cons of Student Loan Forgiveness
You may have strong feelings one way or the other about the Biden administration’s recently-announced plan to forgive some student loan debt. We covered the basics of the plan when it was first announced a couple of weeks ago during our daily news roundups. But today, we’re digging deeper into the potential pros and cons to the individuals impacted and the overall U.S. economy.
Today’s first guest is the director of economic policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center, Shai Akabas. His areas of expertise include higher education – specifically, how we finance it.
Then later, you’ll learn more about exactly who is eligible and how to get the debt relief if you are. We’re getting answers from financial coach Meagan Landress, a certified student loan professional with the company “Student Loan Planner.”

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - The Law v Lawless Edition
Dahlia is joined by Mary Trump and Norm Ornstein to discuss how a single Trump-appointed judge’s attempt to stick a fork in the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into potential mishandling of classified materials is part of a systemic story about American justice. And they discuss the kinds of reform needed to protect democracy and repair the judiciary. And how to handle our collective trauma so we can get it all done.
In this week’s Amicus Plus segment, Dahlia is joined by Mark Joseph Stern to talk about lawlessness at Mar a Lago, whether lawlessness at Mar-a-Lago, the Texas judge whose order this week nominally aims to cut access to HIV preventative medications, but is also setting his sights (again) on cratering the Affordable Care Act, and they probe if the current outbreak of reckless judging can be inoculated or will continue to spread unchecked.

Mathematics and our ability to describe the world in terms of number, shape and measurement may feel like a uniquely human ability. But is it really? Listener Mamadu from Sierra Leone wants to know: can animals count too? CrowdScience presenter Marnie Chesterton goes on a hunt to uncover the numerical abilities of the animal kingdom. Can wild lions compare different numbers? Can you teach bees to recognise and choose specific amounts? And if the answer is yes, how do they do it? Marnie tries to find out just how deep the numerical rabbit hole goes… and comes across a parrot named Alex who is perhaps the most impressive example of animal counting of them all.

New American City Flags Survey
NAVA (The North American Vexillological Association) has launched a public survey to rate the designs of over 300 U.S. municipal flags adopted since 2015. The survey will run through November 30. We encourage all Gist fans interested in vexillography to take it. With so many new flags to rate, the survey results will provide a wealth of analytical information for community leaders, scholars, designers, hobbyists, and others interested in flags. Please visit the survey at https://bit.ly/cityflag-survey-pesca to make history in American city flags!
