Everything Everywhere Daily - Napoleon’s 100 Days (Encore)

After years of war throughout the continent of Europe, in 1814, Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte abdicated and was exiled to the small island of Elba off the coast of Italy. 

The European powers thought that they had seen the last of Napoleon. However, they were wrong. 

He came back and, in a shockingly short period of time, regained control of France and its army. 

Learn more about Napoleon’s 100 Days and the last gasp of the Emperor of the French on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - Why is Big Business Caving to Trump? (with Andrew Ross Sorkin)

Why have CEOs been so eager to bend the knee? How are tariffs actually affecting the economy? Is the next major financial crisis already underway? New York Times financial columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin stops by the studio to talk to Lovett about our weird economy under Trump 2.0. They discuss big business's refusal to stand up to Trump, the prospect of a crypto-crash big enough to tank the U.S. economy, and why this moment is eerily similar to the stock market crash that kicked off the Great Depression, which Sorkin writes about in his new book 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History and How It Shattered a Nation.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Cultural Revolution

In 1966, the People’s Republic of China entered what became one of the most tumultuous periods in its history. 

In a spasm of revolutionary upheaval primarily led by students, almost everyone in the country, including high-ranking communist officials, was a potential target for public humiliation, denunciations, torture, and hard labor. 

The result was an entire generation of Chinese whose educations and careers were lost, and who vowed never to let political extremism run amok again.

Learn more about the Cultural Revolution, what caused it, and what its purpose was on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Nobel economics prize 2025: What’s the big idea?

Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt have been awarded this year’s Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.

The three are sharing 11 million Swedish kronor, over a million dollars, after being recognised for their work in the area of “innovation-driven economic growth”. But why does this area matter and what did the three economists actually do? We turn the tables on our presenter Tim Harford, to explain all.

If you’ve seen a number in the news you think we should take a look at, let us know: moreorless@bbc.co.uk
