Everything Everywhere Daily - Transuranium Elements (Encore)

If you take a look at the periodic table of elements, you will notice something interesting. 

Go to the bottom and take a look at any element over, say, number 94. You will find a bunch of elements you have probably never heard of.


Don’t worry because most chemists probably aren’t familiar with them, either. They are not part of any chemical compounds, cannot be found in nature, and most have only existed for a fraction of a second. 

Learn more about transuranium elements, what they are, and how we even know they exist on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - The 3.5% Protest Rule That Could Bring Down Trump

How much of America would we need to mobilize to stop Trump's power grab? According to political scientist Erica Chenoweth, it takes 3.5 percent—the threshold after which every protest movement, across the world, has been successful. Against the backdrop of the anti-ICE and No Kings protests, the national guard deployment, and Donald Trump's birthday pageant, Chenoweth joins the show to break down the math of the 3.5 percent rule, explain why nonviolence is the key to meeting it, and to share the lessons the civil rights movement can teach us about staying unified, organized, and disciplined in the fight against authoritarianism.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Frederick Douglass

In 1818, the man who would go on to become one of the greatest leaders in the cause against American slavery was himself born into slavery.

At the age of 20, he escaped bondage and went on to lead one of the most remarkable careers of the 19th century. 

He led a multifaceted life, including becoming one of the era’s most notable orators, a newspaper publisher, an author, a presidential advisor, and an ambassador. 

In the end, he perhaps played one of the biggest roles in the end of slavery.

Learn more about the life of Frederick Douglass on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Could you be hit by a falling satellite?

The number of satellites orbiting our planet has been rapidly increasing in recent years. But what are the risks when they start falling back down to earth?

The European Space agency estimate that by 2030 there will be 100,000 satellites in orbit. We look at whether that estimate is realistic and what it means for those of us living on the ground below, with the help of Jonathan McDowell and Fionagh Thomson.
