Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Poker: From Ancient Games to Modern Tournaments

One of the most popular card games in the world is poker. 

The game was played in the old west among cowboys, by dogs on velvet paintings, and by the crew of the Star Ship Enterprise. 

Poker is played informally among friends and family, yet it is also a high-stakes competitive game where millions of dollars can be won or lost.

It is a game that has origins that go back centuries, but in its modern manifestation, it is also very modern.

Learn more about the game of Poker and how it became one of the most popular card games in the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Up First from NPR - A Home But Not A Cure

Thirty years ago, housing activists began an unusual experiment to help people struggling with homelessness and chronic addiction. They decided to get people into housing first and then try to help their clients with their addictions. This idea, called "Housing First," is now the central strategy guiding homeless services in America. But the concept is facing new scrutiny and growing criticism from conservative lawmakers. Today on The Sunday Story, we look at the controversy around Housing First and consider if the strategy is working as it was designed.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Special Forces

Perhaps the most respected and feared soldiers in the world are those who belong to Special Forces. 

Special Forces are considered to be the elite of the elite. Most nations have some sort of Special Forces units in their military. 

Some of the best-known Special Forces units are household names and others are, how shall we say, more secret. 

While Special Forces seem rather modern, the tradition of creating units of elite soldiers actually goes back to antiquity.

Learn more about Special Operations Forces and their history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
