After the end of the second world war, Berlin was a divided city controlled by the four major allied powers. Despite the different zones of control, people could move freely between the zones in the city. 

However, on August 13, 1961, the East German government decided to end the free travel of Berliners by building a wall around West Berlin. 

For 28, the wall defined the city and served as a metaphor for the entire Cold War.

Learn more about the Berlin Wall on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

From Notting Hill to the real-life relationships of several SNL writers with Hollywood starlets – to even the new Barbie movie tagline ("She's everything. He's just Ken.") – there's a recurring storyline in pop culture of ordinary guys dating up, falling in love with glamorous women who are seemingly out of their league. In her new book, Romantic Comedy, Curtis Sittenfeld shakes up these gender dynamics. She tells NPR's Juana Summers why she wanted her career-focused heroine – a comedy writer – to stumble into a romance with a global pop star.

John J. Miller is joined by Bill Meehan, editor of a recent collection of Bill Buckley's travel writings titled 'Getting About.'

For hundreds of thousands of years, humans lived a nomadic life, hunting for game and foraging for food. 

Then, several thousand years ago, they stopped. They began domesticating animals, started growing crops, and lived a sedentary lifestyle.

Learn more about the rise of agriculture, aka the Neolithic Revolution, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
