Everything Everywhere Daily - Calendar Reform
Our calendar and system of keeping time are rather unique.
It isn’t nice and tidy like the metric system. It is a collection of odd time units, leap years, and rotating calendars.
As such, many people throughout history have thought that they could do better.
So they have made proposals for changing our calendar, some of which would be very different from the one we are used to.
Learn more about proposed calendar reforms on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Sherman’s March to the Sea (Encore)
Just one week after President Abraham Lincoln was re-elected in November 1864, Union General William Tecumseh Sherman set out to execute one of the most audacious plans of the US Civil War.
His plan involved violating several central tenets of warfare, which had been established for thousands of years, yet in the process, he helped bring the war to a swift conclusion.
In hindsight, many people consider what he did to have been a war crime.
Learn more about Sherman’s March to the Sea and how it affected the outcome of the US Civil War on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
