Everything Everywhere Daily - The London Underground

The 19th century saw an explosion in population in London. The city grew severalfold and became the largest city in the world. 

With so many people and the city growing so rapidly, transportation became a huge problem. 

One solution was to provide the new technology known as locomotives in the city. However, building train tracks would require a great deal of land which simply didn’t exist.

The solution to their problem lay under their feet.

Learn more about the London Underground, its origin, and its growth on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Chapo Trap House - 798 – Iowa Carcass feat. @ettingermentum (1/15/24)

Well, here we are, Iowa Caucus day 2024. Considering we all took several points of permanent sanity damage this time 4 years ago, what’s insane this year is how on rails this whole thing is. Nonetheless, our elections correspondent Josh (@ettingermentum) returns to update us on the state of the races for 2024. We look at how Biden’s long-term hyper-commitment to Israel affects his chances, Trump’s advantages and disadvantages in his ‘24 campaign, the RFK Jr. of it all, and the race for #2 between the rest of the GOP candidates..

NPR's Book of the Day - Álvaro Enrigue’s new novel reimagines Hernán Cortés’ and Moctezuma’s empires

You Dreamed of Empires sets the scene for a violent historical encounter: the war between the Spanish and Aztec empires. But in a fictionalization of Hernán Cortés' arrival in the city of Tenochtitlan in 1519, author Álvaro Enrigue challenges ideas about colonialism, revolution and influential rulers. In today's episode, he speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about finding humor and humanity in the men he writes about — sometimes laughing about, but not with, the powerful ones.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Swiss Mercenaries (Encore)

When most people think of Switzerland, they think of a small country embedded in the Alps that makes fine chocolates and is the home of the cuckoo clock.

They have been neutral in European conflicts for almost 500 years, and they serve as the headquarters for several international organizations. 

Yet, it was the Swiss who, during the Renaissance, were some of the most feared and in-demand mercenary fighters in Europe. 

Learn more about Swiss mercenaries and how they instilled fear into Europeans on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
