The post Who is the oldest World War II veteran in the Austin area? appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
In 1946, a former Soviet tank mechanic who had formal training in engineering or manufacturing submitted a design for a new gun in a competition.
His design was selected, and it became the new rifle for the Soviet military.
However, it didn’t just become a weapon for the Soviet Union; the design spread and within decades was being used all around the world in almost every armed conflict.
Learn more about the AK-47 and how it managed to change warfare in the 20th century on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

On February 1, 1908, the political fortunes of Portugal changed forever.
The royal family was returning to Lisbon, traveling in an open horse-drawn carriage.
While they were traveling, in broad daylight, and in front of dozens of witnesses, two radicals gunned down both the king and the heir apparent, throwing the Portuguese monarchy into chaos.
The effect of what happened almost 120 years ago can still be felt today.
Learn more about the Lisbon 7Regicide, how and why it happened, and its repercussions, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Here’s a preview from a new podcast, Charlie’s Place.
How did a Black man in the 1940s Jim Crow South open a club where Black and white people danced together? Charlie’s Place was revolutionary, and that meant it was dangerous. Host Rhym Guissé explores the unbelievable true story of Charlie Fitzgerald, a mysterious Black businessman whose nightclub became an unlikely site of integration in Myrtle Beach. Charlie broke down racial barriers through the power of music and dance, hosting some of the greatest musicians of our time: Little Richard, Count Basie, Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, and many more. But who was Charlie? How did he rise to power? And what price did he pay for achieving the impossible—an integrated club in the Jim Crow South? This is a story of joy and passion that erupted into violence and changed a community forever. Listen to Charlie’s Place wherever you get your podcasts.

Some of the most venerated objects in many different religions are holy relics.
Relics offer a tangible connection to significant figures in various religious traditions, and they are often highly prized and sought after.
In the Middle Ages, relics became a big business, and if a church had the right relics, it could boost a local economy. It became such a big business that many people began to question their authenticity.
Learn more about relics, their authenticity, and the historical business surrounding them on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

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.
