Everything Everywhere Daily - Exoplanets (Encore)

Ever since astronomers figured out that the stars in the sky are just like our sun, they began wondering if those stars had planets just like our sun. 

For centuries this remained an unanswerable question. Telescopes and techniques weren’t advanced enough to get an answer one way or another.

Eventually, however, astronomers developed methods to detect if there were planets outside of our solar system, and when they did, they found them everywhere. 

Learn more about exoplanets, planets that orbit around other stars, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Graphic novel ‘Einstein in Kafkaland’ ponders how two great minds met in Prague

From 1911 to 1912, Albert Einstein and Franz Kafka both lived in Prague.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Mos Maiorum and Unwritten Rules

Every day, whether or not you even realize it, you are subject to a host of unwritten rules. These are rules that are not written down and are not part of any formal law, but they are fundamental to the functioning of any society. 

These unspoken rules differ from place to place and have changed over time, and there are even different rules for different groups that you might be a part of. 

These unwritten rules of behavior have been with us ever since the dawn of humanity. 

Learn more about the Mos Maiorum and the unwritten rules of society on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Unification of Italy

Italy as we know it today is a relatively recent invention. 

Ever since the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, the Italian Peninsula had been a patchwork of city-states, dutchies, kingdoms, and lands controlled by the pope. 

It wasn’t until the 19th century that a group of idealistic Italians sought to unify the Italian Peninsula and all its Italian-speaking people. 

Learn more about the Risorgimento, or the 19th-century Unification of Italy, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - A Brief History of Texas

Each of the fifty US states is like a separate country. Its area, population, and economy are comparable to those of other independent nations. 

Yet, the histories of each state, while different, all share broad commonalities. 

However, one state has a history that is totally different from all the rest. 

Learn more about the history of Texas and how an independent republic became one of the United States on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Biden’s beef with bad customer service

Earlier this month, the White House unveiled a new initiative aimed at trying to serve and protect American consumers: Time is Money.

It's an array of actions the Biden Harris administration is taking to stomp out business processes that waste consumers time and money, like, for example, making it unnecessarily difficult to cancel a subscription, get an airline ticket refund, or file an insurance claim.

On today's episode: In a competitive market, companies want to treat their customers well or else they'll lose their customers to competitors ... so why does the White House want to intervene in this area of the free market?
