John J. Miller is joined by Elizabeth Currid-Halkett to discuss her new book, 'The Overlooked Americans.'

There was no product more important to the economy of the ancient world than silk. 

Silk was transported thousands of miles to be purchased by people so far away from its source that they had no clue where it came from. 

The source of silk, however, was China, and for centuries, they had a monopoly, which brought them tremendous wealth. 

That was until they didn’t. 

Learn more about how the secret to silk was smuggled out of China, and the silk monopoly was broken on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Journalist Rachel Louise Snyder has covered gender-based violence around the world for a number of media outlets and in her widely-acclaimed book, No Visible Bruises. But in her new memoir, Women We Buried, Women We Burned, she examines the role it played in her own life. After the loss of her mother early in life, Snyder was raised in a strict evangelical household, where corporal punishment was the norm. In today's episode, she tells NPR's Scott Simon about how that upbringing eventually pushed her to leave home, and the kindness she discovered waiting for her on the other side.

International borders can be very strange things. 

Sometimes they measured down to the millimeter and a heavily marked and fortified. 

Other times they run through desolate areas where hardly anyone pays attention to the actual location. 

The latter was the case with much of the US/Mexican border in the early 20th century, and it caused a great deal of confusion. 

Learn more about Rio Rico, the American town that everyone thought was a Mexican town, and then it actually was, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
