Everything Everywhere Daily - The Other Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is known to almost everyone in the world. If he isn’t known, then his music certainly is.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Tokyo 2020: Medals and Records
Most coverage of the Olympics is very biased towards whatever country you happen to live in, and certain popular sports.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Queen Boudica
In the year 60, Roman forces on the island of Britain, the Roman town of Lunduniam, modern-day London, were attacked and sacked by a group of native Celts.
They lashed out at the Romans over years of poor treatment abuse.
When Romans lost Lunduniam, they were shocked and embarrassed, not just at the loss to a group of barbarians, but because those barbarians were led by a woman.
