Everything Everywhere Daily - A Brief History of London

Almost 2000 years ago, after conquering most of the island of Great Britain, Roman forces established a settlement at a strategically narrow point on the Thames River.

Since its establishment, the city has grown dramatically, at one point having secured the title of the largest city in the world.

Today it is one of the world’s most important cities, is an international hub for finance, and it is the capital of the United Kingdom.

Learn more about the history of London and how it went from a Roman military outpost to one of the most important cities in the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In God We Lust - Listen Now: Suspect “Five Shots in the Dark”

Suspect is an investigative series about mislaid justice and the kinds of weighty decisions that detectives, lawyers, and jurors make every day - decisions that, once made, are almost impossible to reverse.

Season 3: Five Shots in the Dark follows Leon Benson, who spent 24 years in an Indiana state prison for the 1998 murder of a young man named Kasey Schoen. His conviction hinged on the testimony of two eyewitnesses – but what if their memories turned out to be wrong? And what if the people who knew what really happened had never been allowed to speak? Suspect Season 3: Five Shots in the Dark is the story of two victims: one murdered, one sentenced to life. Follow host Matt Shaer and attorney Lara Bazelon as they investigate how the justice system failed both Leon and Kasey, and who the real killer might be. Join this unprecedented look inside the attempt to overturn a wrongful conviction and find out if justice will finally be served.

Follow Suspect wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen to Suspect: Five Shots in the Dark early and ad-free on Wondery Plus. Join Wondery Plus in the Wondery app or on Apple Podcasts.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Temple Folk’ conveys the experiences of Black Muslims through short stories

Early in today's episode, Aaliyah Bilal says she knows that a lot of people associate the Nation of Islam with hate. But in her new collection of short stories, Temple Folk, she reclaims narratives about Black Muslims and how they contemplate faith, identity and community in the U.S. She tells NPR's Scott Detrow why it was especially important for her to center women's stories and how her characters contend with some of the complexities of the movement.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Silurian Hypothesis

The universe is billions of years old.

If, in the future, humanity were to explore the galaxy and visit other planets around other stars, we might be visiting places where at one time, an advanced civilization once existed.

However, if such a civilization existed, it might have been millions of years in the past. If that was the case, how would we even know that it existed?

Also, what if we ask that same question of Earth rather than of alien worlds?

Learn more about the Silurian Hypothesis on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Titanium

Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust.

However, titanium is not even remotely close to the ninth most common element in industrial or commercial use.

In fact, despite being so abundant, we didn’t even know titanium existed until the late 18th century, and we couldn’t figure out how to actually practically use it until the 1960s.

It is a remarkable metal with amazing properties that is still incredibly hard to work with.

Learn more about titanium, the amazing yet difficult metal, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
