Bay Curious - The Bay Area’s Got A Wild Pig Problem

Originally imported to Monterey County for sport by a wealthy landowner in the 1920s, wild boars now number in the hundreds of thousands, and they are destroying sensitive habitats and suburban lawns all over the state, including Morgan Hill, Lafayette and San Jose. Bay Curious listener Travis Mowbray wondered if there were any creative solutions to the problem.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Leonardo da Vinci

On April 15, 1452, a child was born, the illegitimate son of a peasant woman and a local notary in the village of Vinci, which was then part of the Republic of Florence. 

Given his illegitimate status, no one expected much of the young man, so he was apprenticed in the studio of a local artist. 

He would go on to become, not just one of the world’s greatest artists, but one of the earliest engineers and proto-scientists of the Renaissance. 

He made such a lasting impact that his name has become known around the world over 500 years later. 

Learn more about Leonardo da Vinci and how he changed the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Long Telegram

On February 22, 1946, George F. Kennan, a career diplomat working in the American embassy in Moscow, sent an 8,000-word cable to the State Department in Washington.In it, he explained why the Soviet Union behaved as it did, outlining its unique combination of a communist ideology and historical Russian paranoia and suspicion. 

He also gave a prescription for how the United States should respond.

Although he couldn’t have known it at the time, that message became the foundation for American policy during the Cold War. 

Learn more about the Long Telegram and how it influenced American foreign policy during the Cold War on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Six Degrees of Separation

You may have noticed, on occasion, that friends you have from totally different parts of your life sometimes know each other. 

It often comes as a surprise, but it actually shouldn’t. It turns out that the world is highly connected via personal relationships. 

In fact, it has been suggested that any two people in the world are only six degrees apart from each other via friends of friends of a friend.

In some special cases, this can actually be measured and can even make for a fun game. 

Learn more about the Six Degrees of Separation theory and its connection to Kevin Bacon on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
