For about a month, from the end of November to the end of December every year, one of the most popular animals in North America is the turkey. 

Turkeys are the traditional meal served at Thanksgiving and Christmas. However, it is a tradition that is found almost nowhere else in the world. 

This is mostly due to the fact that turkeys are native to North America.

Learn more about the turkey, how it became domesticated, and how it became a part of the holidays in North America on this Episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Cooking with young kids can be a mess, but embracing this idea is the point of Mark Bittman's new cookbook. In How to Cook Everything Kids, the journalist and author makes the case that inviting young chefs into the kitchen is the best way to get them curious about food. The book is filled with child-friendly recipes for dishes like baked ziti, pizza and blueberry muffins that make use of playful ingredients, including Corn Flakes. In today's episode, Bittman joins NPR's Ayesha Rascoe at home to cook a meal with her three kids, putting his recipes to the test. Together, they prepare two chicken dishes while Bittman shares the inspiration behind the project.

Steve Urkel, the nerdy, bespectacled neighbor in Family Matters, is one of '90s television's most iconic characters. Urkel's nasally voice, oversized glasses and signature catchphrases made the character nearly inescapable in pop culture – and also made a star out of Jaleel White, the actor who played him. In a new memoir, Growing Up Urkel, White reflects on how the role catapulted his career while permanently shaping the way others see him. In today's episode, he joins NPR's Ailsa Chang for a conversation that touches on the character's mass appeal, TV stereotypes about Black boys, and how playing Urkel has affected White's view of his own masculinity.

After the Prophet Mohammed's death in 632, his followers faced a dilemma. Mohammed was not only their spiritual leader but also their political leader. 

While no one could replace Mohammed, they needed a leader for their community. 

The result was the creation of the position of the caliph, or "successor." A series of caliphs ruled the Islamic world for centuries, and they left an indelible mark on the world today. 

Learn more about the Islamic Caliphates and how they ruled the Islamic world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For more than 350 years, a single problem stumped the world of mathematics. 

The problem was extremely simple to state, yet it proved fiendishly difficult to prove. 

For several centuries, bounties were placed on finding a solution, and many failed to prove it. 

Finally, in 1994, seemingly out of nowhere, a proof was offered, but it was far cry from the initial promise of being simple.

Learn more about Fermat’s Last Theorem and its legacy in the world of mathematics on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

John J. Miller is joined by Marcus Witcher to discuss a collection of Rose Wilder Lane's essays which he edited with David E. Beito.

There are many things in our world that have surprisingly ancient origins. 

One of the things that most definitely does not have ancient origins in the concept of prison and incarceration as punishment. 

Today, almost everywhere in the world, the primary form of punishment for crimes is incarceration. Yet historically speaking, this form of punishment was almost never practiced until the modern era. 

Learn more about prisons and jails, what the difference is and how they came to be on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
