Everything Everywhere Daily - King George III

In 1760, George III succeeded to the throne of the United Kingdom at the age of 22, becoming the third king in the House of Hannover. 

His reign would become one of the longest in British history, and he was monarch during some of the most important events in history including the American Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, and the Napoleonic Wars. 

However, his reign was also marked by a serious illness that eventually rendered him king in name only.

Learn more about George III and how he influenced British history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Tackling The Three-Body Problem

Netflix has a big new show named after and inspired by a classic problem in astrophysics, 'The Three Body Problem', where predicting the course and orbits of three or more celestial bodies proves near impossible.

But how faithful is the Netflix show - and original novel - to the actual physics? Dr Anna Lisa Varri from the University of Edinburgh explains what we can and can't say about the complex and beautiful motions of planets, stars and moons, and brings a dose of scientific facts to science fiction.

Presenter: Kate Lamble Producer: Nathan Gower Sound Engineer: Graham Puddifoot Editor: Richard Vadon

Everything Everywhere Daily - Sergeant Alvin York

In October 1918, just weeks before the end of the First World War, one of the most incredible feats of military valor took place in the Meuse–Argonne offensive, one of the last great battles of the war. 

This incredible feat of bravery and soldiering was done by a very unlikely soldier. One that didn’t even want to participate in the war on religious grounds. 

His story has been the subject of books and movies and is still being told today. 

Learn more about Sergeant Alvin York and his remarkable story on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
