The Gatekeepers - 5. The Vortex

One of the strange things about our new media universe, is how innocuous decisions taken in Silicon Valley - turning a dial, or adding a few lines of code to increase engagement - can change your life.

In 2016, Instagram introduced a new way of looking at content: the non-chronological feed.

Now, instead of seeing what your friends were posting in the order they were posting it, an algorithm brought you stuff based on search history, likes, and interactions.

That’s how tech engineers saw things back then - not just at Instagram, but at Pinterest, and other platforms too - if you engage with something, that must mean you want more of it.

Ian Russell believes that this algorithmic change may have altered the course of his 14 year old daughter Molly's life.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Little Ice Age (Encore)

Approximately 700 years ago, something happened to the Earth’s climate. 

The world started to cool down. It wasn’t dramatic enough to cause another ice age and cause ice caps to cover the poles of the Earth, but it did result in significant changes. 

In fact, many historians think for a period of about 500 years, this shift in the climate dramatically influenced human history. 

Learn more about the Little Ice Age and how it changed humanity on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Questions and Answers: Volume 16

Several centuries ago, many places celebrated the start of the new year in March, not January. 

March was originally the first month of the year, according to the Romans, which is why the Latin numbers for seven, eight, nine, and ten all appear in the months of September, October, November, and December. 

That, however, is no longer the case. Now March is the third month and it means the end of the first fiscal quarter, the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere, and of course questions and answers. 

So join me today as I march into your questions on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Battle of Cajamarca

Some of the most important battles in history, the ones that changed the course of civilizations, are often very small battles. 

In 1532, a battle, really just a skirmish, took place, which completely changed the future paths of Peru, Spain, and the entire continent of South America. 

Despite the importance of this battle, few people have ever even heard of it. 

Learn more about the Battle of Cajamarca and how it changed the shape of the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Memoirs by Helen Rebanks and Crystal Wilkinson weave recipes with women’s stories

Today's episode features two books that capture how cooking, taking care of loved ones, and running a home has sustained women for generations. First, NPR's Scott Simon speaks with Helen Rebanks (who is joined by actor and comedian Nick Offerman) about The Farmer's Wife, which chronicles her life as a homemaker and farmer in England. Then, Here & Now's Celeste Headlee speaks with former Kentucky poet laureate Crystal Wilkinson about Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts, which stretches back into Wilkinson's family history to understand how Black women were the unsung heroes of Appalachia.
