Everything Everywhere Daily - The Paraguayan War (Encore)

In the 1860s, one of the bloodiest wars in the Western Hemisphere took place….and it wasn’t the US Civil War. 

It was a war between Paraguay and an alliance of Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil, and it was one of the bloodiest ever fought in Latin America.

It was a conventional war that resulted in a guerrilla war, which spawned famine and disease.

Learn more about the Paraguayan War or the War of the Triple Alliance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Ottoman Empire

One of the most important empires in history was the Ottoman Empire. 

It wasn’t the biggest empire, but it had an outsized impact on the world due to its strategic location and its moment in history. 

The Ottomans shocked the world by capturing the city of Constantinople and later almost conquering much of Central Europe.

Despite having a six-hundred-year run, as with all empires, it eventually weakened and collapsed.

Learn more about the Ottoman Empire, its rise and its fall, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Kokoda Track

In July 1942, Japanese forces landed on the north shore of the island of New Guinea 

Their goal was to cross the island by land and take the strategic city of Port Moresby. 


If they had been successful, the entire fate of the war in the Pacific would have altered. 

They didn’t take it, thanks to the tenacious resistance put up by Australian forces. 

Learn more about the Kokoda Track and how it turned the war in the Pacific on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Phoebus Cartel

Companies that sell products to the public have to follow a fine line. 

On the one hand, they need to sell stuff to make money, and the way they do that is by making a good product. 

However, if their product is too good, then people might not need to buy it again, or at least not for a long time. 

Almost 100 years ago, a consortium of industrialists plotted to make their products worse just so people would buy more of them.

Learn more about the Phoebus Cartel and planned obsolescence on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Last episode, we explored some of the out-of-place animals that’ve been found in Chicago, including a peacock, an alligator and a 20-pound vervet monkey. Today, we’re asking, what happens when they get sick? Take a trip with us to the Chicago Exotics Animal Hospital in Skokie to meet Gomez Addams the tegu lizard and a few of his friends. Plus, hear some wild stories from the people who care for them.

Bay Curious - Were Chain Stores Once Banned in San Francisco?

San Francisco is known for its distinct neighborhoods, each with its own shopping street, full of local businesses.

But recently she's seen more chains and wonders if that was true. We trace the history of San Francisco's regulation of chain stores and the effect it has had on the city.
