Everything Everywhere Daily - Top-Level Domain Names

Every day, everyone who uses the internet uses the Domain Name System.

The key to the domain name system lies in the highest level of the system, the top-level domains. These are the domains such as .com, .org, and .net.

While you are probably very familiar with a few of these, there are actually a lot more. A whole lot more. 

A lucky few top-level domain name holders actually managed to hit the jackpot. 

Learn more about top-level domain names and how they are organized and distributed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Six Cradles of Civilization

The rise of civilization is one of the most remarkable and important moments in human history. 

However, it didn’t happen one time in one place. It occurred multiple times in multiple locations.  

Historians and archaeologists have identified six distinct civilizations that developed independently of one another, all of which have, in one way or another, contributed to the civilization we live in today. 

Learn more about the six cradles of civilization, what they were, and how they developed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Curious City - The tale of the two-flat

You know the building: Two stories, an apartment unit on each floor, usually with bay windows and a facade of brick or greystone. But how did the two-flat become so popular, and who was it originally built to serve? In our last episode, we looked at the types of places Chicago’s single women lived in at the turn of the 20th century. In today’s episode, we explore the Bohemian origins of the humble Chicago two-flat. As it turns out, the advent of the two-flat mirrors the development of the city’s middle class. “Our design No. 144 is a two-family flat designed for a money making proposition,” begins a 1915 ad enticing homebuyers to build a two-flat. “Anyone wanting a comfortable home and at the same time a good income on the investment will do well to consider this proposition.” Plus, we answer another housing-related listener question: why are Chicago fire escapes distinctively wooden (read: flammable) and are they actually effective during fires? This episode was reported by Chris Bentley and was originally published in 2014.
