Everything Everywhere Daily - Kaliningrad

Located on the Baltic Sea, sandwiched between the nations of Lithuania and Poland, is the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad.

Kaliningrad, as it is today, does not have a deep history. For most of its history, it was known as Königsberg.

The reason it exists at all dates back to the Teutonic Knights in the Middle Ages and the aftermath of two world wars in the 20th century. 

Today, its status is unique to say the least, and it has the potential to become a geopolitical flashpoint.

Learn more about Kaliningrad and its history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less - Is RFK Jr right about China’s diabetes rate?

The US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr is on a mission to make America healthy again. One of his health-promotion ideas is to reduce chronic illness, specifically diabetes. And has part of his campaign he said that: "a typical pediatrician would see one case of diabetes in his lifetime, over a 40 or 50 year career. Today, 1 out of every 3 kids who walks through his office door is prediabetic or diabetic. Twenty years ago, there was no diabetes in China, today 50% of the population is diabetic' Diabetes does carry a huge burden of health, but are his numbers right and how much of a problem is diabetes in the US and around the globe? We speak to diabetes expert and co-author of the Diabetes Atlas, Professor Dianna Magliano to find out more. Presenter: Tim Harford Producer: Lizzy McNeill Series Producer: Tom Colls Studio Manager: Rod Farquhar Editor: Richard Vadon

Audio Mises Wire - Dystopia Misdiagnosed: How the Rich Drive Health Innovation

The dystopian futuristic movie Elysium portrays a terrible future in which only the rich have medical care while the poor suffer on an overpopulated, polluted planet. The film’s theme—that only huge wealth transfers can bring medical care to low-income people—is fundamentally flawed.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Don’t Eat That Friday-Night Brisket!

The freakout online at the suggestion that maybe Gentiles working at the Heritage Foundation might want to eat a Shabbat dinner at the home of a Jewish person really gave the game away this week–and not in a good way. Is this a game that Jews should even attempt to play? And is there really any way for conservatives to "educate" or "coopt" those who have such hostility toward the Jewish people? Give a listen.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Year 1950

In the year 1950, the world was halfway through the 20th century. 

In the 25 years prior, the world had seen the greatest economic downturn in modern history and the greatest war the world had ever known. 

New technologies were being developed, and many previous technologies were making their way into the hands of regular people, radically transforming their lives. 

On top of all of that, the entire world was about to embark on a total reordering of the geopolitical order. 

Learn more about the world in the year 1950 and the changes that occurred over the previous 25 years on the 1,950th episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
