Everything Everywhere Daily - The Origins of the Federal Reserve

In 1913, the United States created its third national bank. 

Unlike the previous two, this bank was organized in a completely different manner. It was organized differently, in an effort to avoid the problems of the previous national banks. 

Also, unlike the previous national banks, the creation of the Federal Reserve was not done openly and subject to public debate. It was created using secrets and subterfuge.

Learn more about the creation of the Federal Reserve and the very odd way it was created on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Dominican Republic

Known for its beautiful beaches, vast history, and unique culture, the Dominican Republic is one of the Caribbean's crown jewels.

However, it has had a history totally unlike its neighbors. Even Haiti, which shares an island with the Dominican Republic, went down a totally different path. 

Today, the Dominican Republic is a relatively stable, prosperous country, yet its past has been marked by violence, political turmoil, and chaos. 

Learn about the history of the Dominican Republic on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Curious City - A Curious City Halloween: Scary stories from spooked Chicagoans

Three stories from Chicagoans who endured a terrifying experience that they couldn’t explain, couldn’t get over, or couldn’t escape. Karen Holt tells the story of her haunted childhood home on Chicago’s Southeast Side. Was her house simply saturated with “residual energy”? Or was the ghost of a lost boy wandering the halls? Rachel Shuki tells the story of the haunted, now-closed school she taught at on Chicago’s West Side. A tragic disaster from the past could be the reason behind unexplained occurrences in the building. Ben Astrachan and Jackson Zinn-Rowthorn tell the story of their Northwest Side apartment complex, the ritual site they found in the basement, and the friend that messed with it. Have they disturbed a spiritual realm they aren’t equipped to handle? Get cozy, dim the lights and press play.
