Most people think that the second world war started in September of 1939 when Germany invaded Poland.

However, that was only the beginning of the European war.

The conflict in Asia, however, actually began much earlier. What both the European and Asian theaters have in common is they started with an invasion by a belligerent power which was done under false pretenses.

Learn more about the Mukden Incident, and how it began the road to the second world war, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

They are so ubiquitous that most people don’t even realize that they have an origin. They are so commonly used that some of you might have them in your hands right now.

Yet, the objects we use to eat do have very definite histories.

Moreover, around the world, we often use very different objects to consume our food, and sometimes we use the exact same objects in very different ways.

Learn more about eating utensils, how they are developed and how they are used in different cultures, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Genie the Feral Child (Encore)

Subscribe to the podcast!

In October 1970, a blind woman accidentally entered a Los Angeles County welfare office with a child in tow.

The staff in the office immediately noticed the odd girl with the woman. She walked funny, was emaciated, drooling, didn’t make a sound, and when asked, the woman mentioned that the girl was 13.

The staff thought she was seven.

This began one of the saddest cases of child welfare in history, and one which fascinated researchers for years.

Learn more about Genie, the feral child on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

American politics has been called a two-party system. While there are two major parties today, and those two parties have been around a long time, they weren’t always the only two parties.

In fact, there was a political party in the US that, took its name from a British political party, had four US presidents, and even held control of Congress for several years.

Today, however, they are all but unknown to most people.

Learn more about the Whig party, their rise, and fall, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
