Everything Everywhere Daily - The English Premier League

The most popular sports league in the world in terms of the number of people who follow and watch is the English Premier League. 

Unlike other sports leagues, the English Premier League is relatively new. It was only created in the early 90s in response to the poor condition of top-division football at the time. 

Since then, it has brought in billions in revenue for the clubs that have played in the league, as well as some of the world’s highest salaries for its players. 

Learn more about the English Premier League, how it was formed, and its possible future on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘At the Edge of Empire’ traces China’s history through Edward Wong’s family

The central character of New York Times correspondent Ed Wong's memoir, At the Edge of Empire, is not Wong himself — it's his father, who studied in Beijing in the 1950s and staunchly supported the Chinese Communist Revolution. Wong's book traces his father's disillusionment with Mao's government and eventual move to the U.S. In today's episode, he speaks with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly about intertwining his family's personal story with the greater history of his parents' home country, and what Americans can still stand to learn about Chinese citizens.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Horrible Voyage of the 1905 Russian Baltic Fleet (Encore)

In February 1904, the Russian Empire found itself at war with the Empire of Japan over what was territory in the current nation of China. 

The problem for Russia was that a big chunk of its navy was located in the Baltic Sea, and the war was in Asia. 

The Baltic fleet was sent on an incredibly long and interesting voyage to get the ships into battle.

Learn more about the disastrous voyage of the Imperial Russian Baltic Fleet and how it helped change the course of Russian history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - How to Lie With Statistics

Mark Twain once said, 'There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.'

The reason why he placed statistics into its own category is because it is possible to use numbers to misrepresent the truth, distort reality, or outright lie. 

However, if you know what to look for, you can catch misuses of statistics, and if really pay attention, you can find these misuses almost everywhere.

Learn more about how you can lie with statistics on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
