Everything Everywhere Daily - Borobudur
Located in Central Java, outside of the modern city of Yogyakarta, lies the world’s largest Buddhist temple, Borobudur.
Borobudur doesn’t get as much attention as other great monuments in the world, but it should certainly be included among them.
Unlike other great monuments, Borobudur has a distinction that no other monument has. It disappeared, quite literally, for several centuries.
Learn more about Borobudur, its history, and its significance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Bay Curious - The Girl in the Fishbowl at Bimbo’s 365 Club
Rita Hayworth, Robin Williams, Adele — these are just a few of the huge stars that have graced the stage of Bimbo’s 365 Club over its 94 years in San Francisco. But the act the club is most famous for is Dolphina — or the “Girl in the Fishbowl.” Dolphina isn’t a person, though; she’s a character who’s been played by many different women since 1931. When Dolphina performs, it looks like there is a real, live woman, shrunk down to 6 inches, swimming in a fish tank at the bar. How did this quirky act come to be?

Curious City - Beyond the settlement: Helping Chicago’s many survivors of police torture
Chicago passed a reparations ordinance 10 years ago for the survivors of police torture committed under the direction of disgraced Chicago police commander Jon Burge.
As we learned in our last episode, monetary reparations alone cannot heal decades of trauma.
In this episode, we take a closer look at the limits of monetary settlements and what else survivors need to heal. We also take a look at how Chicago’s reparations ordinance is looking 10 years later with Aislinn Pulley, the executive director of the Chicago Torture Justice Center, which was established as part of the reparations ordinance.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Dubai
Just 60 years ago, Dubai was a sandy, underpopulated port on a minor creek emptying into the Persian Gulf.
Today, it is one of the most important cities in the world. It is a global center for trade, finance, and transportation.
