In 1893, the eyes of the world turned to the city of Chicago, which was hosting the World’s Fair. The fair was the largest public demonstration at that point of the new technology called electricity.
However, there was a dark side to what was happening in Chicago.
One man created a building that has been dubbed a murder castle. Many of the people who entered his macabre structure never left alive.
Learn more about HH Holmes, the man who is considered to be America’s first serial killer, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

On October 31, every year, we celebrate Halloween. It is especially popular in the United States where we use the holiday as an excuse for kids to dress up and ask for candy and for adults to dress up and drink.
But why do we dress up, and what’s the deal with pumpkins? How does this have anything to do with witches?
Learn more about the history of Halloween and how so many unrelated things got lumped together on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

As early as 2400 years ago, Greek philosophers were coming up with paradoxes that seemingly had no solution.
Early mathematicians came up with problems that seemed impossible to solve.
It wasn’t until the 17th century that the techniques were finally developed to solve these problems and unlock new fields of science and mathematics.
Learn more about calculus, what it is, and what it attempts to do on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Conventional histories of mathematics are dominated by well-known names like Pythagoras, Leibniz or Newton. But to concentrate solely on figures from Europe gives us only a patchwork understanding of the rich and varied history of mathematical achievement around the world. Tim Harford speaks to Dr Kate Kitagawa, co-author of ?The Secret Lives of Numbers? to explore the long history of mathematical advances and innovation across civilisations and centuries, from the female mathematician at court in imperial China to the pioneers in the mathematical powerhouses of the Middle East in the first millennium AD.
Presenter: Tim Harford Producer: Jon Bithrey Editor: Richard Vadon Sound Engineer: James Beard
