California voters have one proposition on the ballot this November: Proposition 50. It's supporters want California to adopt a new congressional map that could give Democrats five more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, a counter to similar actions taken in Texas. Opponents say it's a step in the wrong direction for good governance, or are upset at the potential loss of Republican seats. We wade into the debate with KQED's Guy Marzorati.

In November 1989, the world changed when the Berlin Wall came down, marking the beginning of the unraveling of the Iron Curtain.
Almost a month later, on December 16, 1989, Romania faced a sudden revolution that led to the fall of its central government in just over a week.
While Romania was one of many Eastern European Communist countries that revolted in 1989, the revolution there, unlike those in other countries, was violent and deadly.
Learn more about the 1989 Romanian Revolution and how it unfolded on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For about 1,200 years, the climate reversed and got colder again.

Almost everyone has had popcorn and some of you have even probably had some recently.
Popcorn can be made at home, can be purchased pre packaged in stores, and has been tightly associated with movie theaters.
Yet, despite seeming like a rather modern snack, popcorn has actually been around for thousands of years. It exists because of a unique attribute of corn.
Learn about the history of popcorn and how it has become one of the most popular snacks in the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
