In the midst of the Second World War, the Allied powers began planning ahead for what the post-war world was going to look like. 

The Legion of Nations had failed to prevent World War II. If they were to prevent another major war from breaking out in the 20th century, they needed something else. 

Learning from the lessons from the past, they created a new organization that would ultimately be run by the winners of the war. 

Learn more about how and why the United Nations was formed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The story of Saba, the protagonist of Leo Vardiashvili's novel Hard by a Great Forest, is much like the author's own. A young boy flees the Soviet Republic of Georgia with his father and brother as the country is ravaged by a war. Decades later, when his father goes back to their homeland and promptly disappears, Saba must face his family's past – and immense loss – in an effort to find him. In today's episode, Vardiashvili tells NPR's Scott Simon about being separated from his own family, and the feeling of time-travel he felt when he finally made his way back to Georgia.

A popular topic of films has been the French Foreign Legion. 

The French Foreign Legion was supposed to be an organization where someone could get a new identity and a new start on life, even if they were criminals. 

They were often stationed in hot, desolate places, where they served out their tour of duty before starting a new life. 

But how much of the legend surrounding the French Foreign Legion story is really true??

Learn more about the French Foreign Legion, how it was formed and how it works on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Dogs and cats are both domesticated, four-legged, fur-bearing mammals. 

Beyond that, they really don’t have much in common. One of the things that they don’t have in common is how they wound up in the lives of humans. 

Cats established their relationship with humans at a totally different point in history and for a totally different reason. 

Learn more about the domestication of cats and how these wild animals wound up as pets on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Today's episode is all about what it means to "make it" – and why there's no one path to success. First, Jennifer Breheny Wallace speaks with Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes about her new book Never Enough, which examines "toxic achievement culture" and the high pressure young people are under in regards to grades and college admissions. Then, WBUR's Tiziana Dearing speaks with Mo Rocca about Roctogenarians, co-written with Jonathan Greenberg, which profiles people who reached their goals and biggest dreams later in life.
