Everything Everywhere Daily - Counterfeiting

As soon as money was invented, counterfeiting was invented soon after. 

Counterfeiting has been around for as long as money, and as money has changed, counterfeiters have changed with it. 

What used to be a relatively simple process has become a highly technical game of cat and mouse. Today, it is considered a crime in every country on Earth, but of course that depends on what currency you are trying to counterfeit. 

Learn more about counterfeiting and the perpetual game of trying to stop counterfeiting on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Overtourism ho! The Barcelona cruise dilemma

Barcelona has always attracted crowds, but now it's attracting protests from locals angered at the negative consequences of being one of Europe's most popular destinations. This is especially true as large cruise ships can dock close to some of the city's most famous landmarks. On today's show, we look at how cruise ships are both driving revenues and frustrations in Barcelona, and we consider what the city's options are for regulating the flow of visitors.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Imperial Units of Measure

Almost every country in the world uses the metric system…..almost.

There are still a few stragglers, like the United States, who use units handed down to them from the British. These are known as Imperial Units.

These units often confuse those living in countries that use the metric system….as well as those who live in countries that use Imperial Units. 

They don’t often make sense. They don’t have any consistency between units, and their histories are quite murky.

Learn more about imperial units and how they were developed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In today's episode, Rasmussen talks with NPR's Leila Fadel about her years-long fertility struggle, the difficulty of discussing the decision to terminate a pregnancy, and the political context surrounding her novel following the fall of Roe v. Wade.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Last Emperor of China

In 1908, a two-year-old boy named Puyi was installed as the 11th Emperor of the Qing Dynasty in China.

His life would prove to be radically different from that of any other Chinese emperor who came before him. He would see the end of Imperial China, become a puppet ruler for those who wished legitimacy, wind up in prison, and finally live out his final days as a commoner. 

His personal story can be seen as a microcosm of the history of China during the 20th century. 

Learn more about Puyi, the last Emperor of China, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
