During the Roman Republic, two brothers took it upon themselves to seek to change Rome to benefit the poor and underclass.

Needless to say, the Roman elites did not like this and did everything in their power to ensure it didn’t happen. 

…and the elites were successful.

But in the process, they changed Roman history forever and put the Republic on a path to destruction. 

Learn more about the Gracchi Brothers and how they tried to change Roman society on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

On March 25, 1911, one of the deadliest industrial disasters in American history took place. 

In the middle of Manhattan, a fire broke out in a garment factory that killed 146 people. 

Most of the deaths were totally preventable, and the legacy of that incident had repercussions that still exist today.

Learn more about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire and its legacy, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In this episode, two nonfiction books explore the Russian invasion of Ukraine from two completely different experiences. First, 12-year-old Yeva Skalietska from Kharkiv reads one of her diary entries from the early days of the war to Here and Now's Deepa Fernandes. Then, former White House Russia expert Andrew Weiss speaks with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly about his new graphic novel biography of Vladimir Putin (illustrated by Brian "Box" Brown) – and why the Russian leader built a nefarious political image for himself that may not be entirely factual.

Every few years, without any schedule or planning, officials at the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service will add an extra second to the year. 

The reason why this is done does make sense, but adding an extra second to a year can cause a host of problems, and many are wondering if it is a practice that should be continued. 

Learn more about Leap Seconds, why they exist, when they happen, and if they should continue to exist on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Men in Blazers' Roger Bennett knows football – or soccer, as Americans call it. His new book, Gods of Soccer, lists 100 players who've made their mark on the sport one way or another. He tells Mary Louise Kelly about how he managed to compile that list, and why the book delves into the origin stories and cultural impact of a wide range of players – not just the Ronaldo and Messi household names, but the lesser-known figures who are iconic in their own right.
