Everything Everywhere Daily - The Surprising Origin of Monopoly
One of the most popular board games in the world is Monopoly.
Millions of copies of the game have been sold over thousands of different versions which have been published.

Learn more about the surprising origins of Monopoly, one of the most popular board games in history, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Pompey Magnus
Gnaeus Pompeius was one of the most significant personalities during the late Roman Republic.
He was considered a military wunderkind who, at an early age, was given great responsibilities and never failed to deliver victory.
However, history remembers him not as the greatest Roman of his era but rather as a side player in the events which brought down the republic and, in the end, a loser on the battlefield.
Learn more about the rise and fall of Pompey Magnus on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
