Everything Everywhere Daily - The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (Encore)

Today in Western Europe, there is a line that divides speakers of Germanic languages and speakers of Romance languages. While that line has shifted over time, its existence can be traced back to a battle that took place over 2000 years ago. 

That battle rocked the Roman Empire to its core, and finally set limits for how big the empire could grow. 

Learn more about the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest and how its impact can still be seen today, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Largest Known Things in the Universe

The universe is big. Really, really big. So big that it is hard to intuitively grasp its size because we have nothing in our lives that we could compare it to. 

Not only is the university big, but within it are things that really big as well. 

The discovery of these big things have been some of the biggest discoveries in the history of science, and the discoveries will probably keep continuing into the future. 

Learn more about the largest known things in the universe on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Origin of Words and Phrases: Military

The English language has evolved organically, gathering words and phrases from different languages, countries, and communities. 

It should come as no surprise that many of the words in English have come from the military. For centuries, soldiers have developed their own way of speaking and created words to describe their unique circumstances. 

Some of those words and phrases have managed to make it into the wider language, even if the meaning sometimes changes. 

Learn more about the English words and phrases with military origins on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - 98%: Is misinformation being spread about a review of trans youth medicine?

The Cass Review is an independent report on the state of gender identity services for under-18s in England?s NHS.

It found children had been let down by a lack of research and "remarkably weak" evidence on medical interventions in gender care.

But before it was even released, claims were circulating online that it ignored 98% of the evidence in reaching its conclusion.

Is that claim true?

We speak to Dr Hilary Cass, the author of the review, Professor Catherine Hewitt of York University, who analysed the scientific research, and Kamran Abbasi, editor in chief of the British Medical Journal.
