For thirty years between 1455 and 1485, England suffered its greatest civil war at that point. 

The war was ultimately over succession to the throne and who should be king.

The period was filled with death and bloodshed, and when the dust settled, it left England a changed country and set the stage for its later ascension. 

Learn more about the War of the Roses, its causes, and its resolution on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Working on the mysterious island that houses the Darkly headquarters, they come across mysteries of the company and its owner.

John J. Miller is joined by Mark L. Clifford to discuss his new book, 'The Troublemaker.'

Sometimes over 3000 years ago, somewhere in Southwestern China, a leaf from the Camellia sinensis plant may have accidentally found its way into a pot of boiling water. 

Noticing that the leaf had turned the water a different color, some person unknown to history drank the concoction and found that it was good. 

That was the start of something that is today a globe-spanning multi-billion dollar industry that millions of people indulge in every day.

Learn more about tea, its origins, and how it spread around the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Comedian, writer and podcast host Youngmi Mayer was raised in Korea and Saipan with a Korean mom and a white American father. Their relationship was strained at times as Mayer navigated her family's generational trauma and often took on a parental role. She pushed through these struggles, and others, through humor–and that strategy frames her new memoir, I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying. Mayer speaks with NPR's Juana Summers about her family story in today's episode. They also discuss Mayer's original pitch for the book's title, relatability in Asian American storytelling and how she became a standup comedian.

December is upon us, and we should be cognizant of the fact that December is based on the Latin word Decem, meaning tenth, which is why December is the 10th month of the year……except that it is actually the 12th month. 

The reason why the 12th month is named the 10th month is because the original Roman calendar was perhaps the dumbest calendar even used in all of human history, where they had a full two months that were pretty much unaccounted for. 

Fast forward over 2000 years and December is just another opportunity for Questions and Answers on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
