Bay Curious - Did I Actually Contact a Dead Person? A Science Editor In Search of His Mother’s Ghost

Can spirits really speak to us from beyond death? That's what science editor and skeptic Jon Brooks has been wondering for 27 years, since he and a friend had an experience with a Ouija board that they just can't explain. After losing his mother, Jon decides to dust off the same board he used in 1995 and try to recreate the original experience with as much scientific rigor as one can manage while attempting to contact the dead.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Operation Felix

Early in the second world war, the Germans found themselves with a metaphorical pebble in their shoe. The pebble was actually a rather large rock that happened to guard the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. 

Unfortunately for them, it happened to be controlled by the British.

If they could remove the British, they could solve their problem and maybe do something for Hitler’s friend, Francisco Franco. 

Learn more about Operation Felix, the planned German invasion of Gibraltar via Spain, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pulitzer Prize winning-author Annie Proulx tells Leila Fadel that she learns by writing. So when she wanted to better understand the wetlands – and how they're being affected by the climate crisis – she dove into nonfiction. Her new book, Fen, Bog & Swamp, does not concern itself with how the natural world serves humans, but rather how it serves itself.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Recorded Sound

One of the landmark inventions in human history was the ability to record sound. 

This technology allowed music to go from something only appreciated by a small number of people to something which could be enjoyed by millions. 

It also allowed people to speak to others across vast distances and eventually led to a thing called podcasting.
