Everything Everywhere Daily - Air Conditioning (Encore)

One of the biggest problems that humanity has faced for thousands of years is heat. 

Excessive heat made it difficult to work in the middle of the day. Heat was especially problematic in the tropics, where a shockingly large percentage of humanity lived. 

As cities became more developed, excess heat, all year round, became a limiting factor in how tall buildings could get. 

All of these problems were solved with one invention.

Learn more about air conditioning and how it helped usher in the modern world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Sinking of the Mignonette and Justified Cannibalism

On May 19, 1884, a small yacht containing four men set sail from England to Australia. 

On July 5th, the ship was hit by a massive wave and capsized. 

The crew escaped the shipwreck on a lifeboat, but was left in a horrible situation. They were hundreds of miles from land, with no fresh water, and a single pound of turnips for food.

Three weeks later, on July 25, food was out, and the men were still adrift, and the sailors made the decision to kill and eat one of their own. 

Learn more about the sinking of the Mignonette and the legal ethics of cannibalism on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Audio Mises Wire - The Economic Success of Singapore and Hong Kong

While it is tempting to see the economic success of Singapore and Hong Kong as similar, there really are stark differences between them. Hong Kong has developed through laissiez-faire and entrepreneurship while Singapore is much more state directed.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Are one in six children living through war?

In the midst of the television coverage of Soccer Aid, a celebrity soccer match organised by Unicef, the audience was told that “one in six children around the world are currently living through war”.

Listener Isla got in touch with More or Less to ask whether the claim was correct, so we tracked down the source to an organisation called the Peace Research Institute Oslo.

Research director Siri Aas Rustad tells us how they worked out a figure for the number of children living near to a “conflict” and the big differences between that and something most people would think of as “war”.

If you’ve seen a number you think we should look at, email the team on moreorless@bbc.co.uk

The Superhero Complex - Introducing: The Girlfriends: Jailhouse Lawyer

What does it mean to be a victim, or a villain? What happens when the line between the two starts to blur? On 7th July 2010, Kelly Harnett says her abusive boyfriend murdered a man right in front of her.  So how did she end up in prison for it? Anna Sinfield - the journalist behind the global number 1 podcast, The Girlfriends, returns with her toughest story yet. This series isn’t a whodunnit. It’s not even really about what happened. It’s about how a woman who was a victim of domestic violence became a villain in the eyes of the law. Found guilty of murder and locked up for over a decade; Kelly Harnett taught herself the law. And as she battled to overturn her conviction, she became a beacon of hope, fighting for the freedom of the abused women locked up alongside her.
