Everything Everywhere Daily - The Panama Canal

Every since the lands of the New World were mapped, people dreamt of creating a canal through Central America to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. 

For almost 500 years, that dream was just that. A dream. Creating such a canal would require one of the greatest engineering projects in human history. 

It was finally achieved in the early 20th century with an enormous amount of machinery, money, human lives, and a whole lot of political arm-twisting. 

Learn more about the Panama Canal and how it came to be on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

CBS News Roundup - Celebrating the World News Roundup’s 85th Anniversary

The very first broadcast of World News Roundup, on March 13, 1938, was hosted by legendary CBS newsman Robert Trout and featured the radio debut of Edward R. Murrow. The program would go on to revolutionize radio reporting and this year, will celebrate its 85th year on air. When it launched on March 13, 1938, "World News Roundup" changed broadcasting forever by being the first program to feature correspondents stationed around the globe reporting for one live broadcast. The first broadcast was anchored by Robert Trout and featured reporting by Edward R. Murrow, then a CBS executive, making his debut reporting on the show from Vienna. Hitler's German army was invading Austria....and becoming a growing threat to all of Europe. This was the first comprehensive broadcast that linked America with a world careening toward war.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Emojis – The Good, Bad, & Misunderstood 🤔

Today we’re talking about one of the most commonly-used tools in messaging conversations across the globe – emojis! Those little cartoon characters on our phones and social media apps help us convey emotion and tone in our messages and posts.

Here to help us better understand and utilize emojis and even explain the ways they can be controversial —  is the man credited as the world’s first-ever emoji translator: Keith Broni.

the memory palace - episode 76: Mary Walker Would Wear what she Wanted

This episode was originally released in 2015.

Proceeds from this episode are being donated to the Transgender Law Center.

Music
*Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth’s Modesty Blaise score.
*The piece opens with Rainfall, by David Darling and Michael Jones.
*Her brief love story is scored by Nathan Johnson’s Penelope’s Theme from his score to The Brothers Bloom.
*When she lands her first gig, we start Garde a Vue, and roll into Le Roi de coeur, from Chantal Martineau.
* The vibraphone piece is “Opening” by Nathaniel Bartlett.
* The recurring violin piece is called Geometria del Universo by the one-named Colleen.
* It ends on Romain’s First Love, again by Georges Delarue, from his fantastic score to Promise at Dawn.

Notes
* I read a lot about Mary, but by far the most useful and most thorough works I came upon were: Sharon M. Harris’ Dr. Mary Walker: An American Radical and A Woman of Honor: Dr. Mary E. Walker and the Civil War, in which author Mercedes Graf does a great job walking the reader through Walker’s unpublished memoir.
