Everything Everywhere Daily - The Sinking of the Mignonette and Justified Cannibalism

On May 19, 1884, a small yacht containing four men set sail from England to Australia. 

On July 5th, the ship was hit by a massive wave and capsized. 

The crew escaped the shipwreck on a lifeboat, but was left in a horrible situation. They were hundreds of miles from land, with no fresh water, and a single pound of turnips for food.

Three weeks later, on July 25, food was out, and the men were still adrift, and the sailors made the decision to kill and eat one of their own. 

Learn more about the sinking of the Mignonette and the legal ethics of cannibalism on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Battle of Cajamarca (Encore)

Some of the most important battles in history, the ones that changed the course of civilizations, are often very small battles. 

In 1532, a battle, really just a skirmish, took place, which completely changed the future paths of Peru, Spain, and the entire continent of South America. 

Despite the importance of this battle, few people have ever even heard of it. 

Learn more about the Battle of Cajamarca and how it changed the shape of the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Curious City - Car, bike, public transit: What’s the best way to get around town?

What would win in a race between a car, bike and the Chicago Transit Authority? Over the past few years, Chicago has been abuzz with road construction projects. There are more protected bike lanes, pedestrian refuge islands and curb bump-outs across the city. As we learned in our last episode, that also includes the installation of miniature traffic circles in residential areas. It’s all in service to make the roads safer by slowing cars down. Safer streets is a win, but it doesn’t necessarily satisfy the urge to get somewhere fast. Cycling and public transportation are viable alternatives, but sometimes it’s hard to separate yourself from the convenience of driving somewhere. In this episode, the Curious City team puts the different modes of transportation to the test in a good old-fashioned transit race. From the Garfield Park Conservatory to Navy Pier, who will win? Car, bike or public transportation? Plus, Midwest correspondent for the Economist, Daniel Knowles makes the case for why we should rethink our relationship with cars, and answers why the fastest isn’t always the best. “People will always drive if it's the most convenient or the quickest way,” said Knowles, author of “Carmeggedon: How Cars Make Life Worse and What to Do About It.” “You can't exhort people to change, you have to kind of change the incentives.”

Bay Curious - What Does It Mean to Live In an Unincorporated Area?

Alameda is the second most populous county in the Bay Area, after Santa Clara. Oakland is the biggest city, but the county stretches all the way out to Livermore in the east and Fremont in the south. It’s a big swath of land and about half of it is unincorporated, including two areas known as Cherryland and Ashland. Bay Curious listener Sam Hopkins wondered what it means for an area to be unincorporated and the history of these two communities.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Australian Wildlife

Australia is unique among the countries in the world.

It is a continent, a country, and an island all wrapped up into one. 

Australia is also home to some of the most bizarre species in the world, most notably its large number of marsupials, which comprise 70% of all marsupial species worldwide.

Why do Australia’s animals differ so significantly from those of the rest of the world, and what led to the dominance of marsupials? 

Learn more about the animals of Australia on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
