Everything Everywhere Daily - All About Viruses

Inside you right now are most probably millions of, possibly even trillions of viruses. 

Some viruses are extremely deadly, but the vast majority are completely benign. They can be found in almost every type of life, including plants, animals, and bacteria. 

Yet viruses are completely different from any other type of life form. In fact, it is debatable whether they are even life forms at all. 

Learn more about viruses, what they are and how they work on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Alternatives’ is a novel about grief, sisterhood and working women

Caoilinn Hughes' novel The Alternatives revolves around the four Flattery sisters, each with a more impressive career or degree than the last, all with a profound grief for the parents they lost at a young age. When one of the sisters purposely goes off the grid, the other three are reunited in the Irish countryside in an attempt to find her. In today's episode, NPR's Andrew Limbong asks Hughes about crafting the witty dialogue between the sisters, writing side characters that jump off the page and getting feedback from her own siblings.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Battle of Adrianople

On August 9, 378, one of the most important battles in history took place. 

While largely forgotten today, it was a critical battle that contributed to the collapse of the Roman Empire. 

It wasn’t just a loss for the Roman army; it also resulted in the death of an emperor, and it also contributed to the rise of a group known as the Visigoths, who would go on to spread throughout much of Europe over the next several centuries. 

Learn more about the Battle of Adrianople and how it changed the course of history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Smuggling Silk Out of China (Encore)

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.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Anaconda Plan

When the United States entered the Civil War, the Union needed a plan for conducting the war. 

Its senior military commander, General Windfield Scott, devised a strategy that would play to the Union's strengths and exploit the Confederacy's weaknesses. He hoped that it would bring about a swift end to the war and minimize the loss of human life. 

The plan didn’t bring about a swift end to the war, but it did play an instrumental role in the conflict. 

Learn more about the Anaconda Plan and the Union’s grand strategy for defeating the Confederacy on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
