Everything Everywhere Daily - Why Does the Year Start on January 1? (Encore)

New Year’s Day is not only the day we turn over a new year on the calendar, but also a day where people start resolutions, companies begin new budgets, and everyone screws up writing checks. 

While documenting our trips around the sun makes perfect sense, why do we use this day, January 1, as the starting point for our calendar years? Why not some other date?


Learn more about how January 1st became the start of the new year on this Episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: 2022 Year in Review

With just hours left in 2022, we’re reflecting on the year that was with a roundup of some of the topics we covered in our Special Edition Saturday episodes. And we covered a lot – including some of the major headlines of the year like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and the midterm election.

There was also everything from record-breaking inflation to the debate over student loan forgiveness. And we’ll spotlight some of the lighter topics we talked about this year, like what Web3 really means, the history of daylight saving time, and more. So before we welcome 2023, here’s a look back at 2022.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Irish pubs – a global numbers game

It's possible that the question we focus on in this week's programme occurred to you as you were sipping on an Irish Coffee in Bubbles O'Leary's in Kampala, Uganda: Where can the most Irish pubs be found - in Ireland? Or in all other countries combined? The popularity and sheer ubiquity of Irish pubs is a thing to behold. In 2015, the Irish Pubs Global Federation said there was approximately 6500 Irish pubs doing business outside the Emerald Isle - and our own research tells us there's at least one Irish bar in more than 160 of the world's 195 countries. But what is the secret, the recipe for global success? And can the More or Less team track down a definite number, thus answering the question some of you will have pondered whilst settling into a firelit Irish bar on a scorching hot day in rural Hawaii.
