Bay Curious - The Punk Club That Changed San Francisco

In San Francisco, Mabuhay Gardens was the epicenter of punk. Located on Broadway at the edge of North Beach and Chinatown, it was ground zero for the city's emerging punk movement in the late 1970s. The Filipino restaurant and nightclub hosted many of the era's most iconic punk bands — including the Avengers, Dead Kennedys, and the Jim Carroll Band. Even punk rock icon Patti Smith took the stage. In this episode, we dig into the history and legacy of the so-called "Fab Mab."

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Zodiac Killer

1968 marked the beginning of one of the most infamous killing sprees in American history.

For two years, Northern California was terrorized by a series of seemingly random murders. It wasn’t just the killings that terrorized people; it was the fact that the killer taunted the police and the media through a series of cryptic letters sent to newspapers. 

Over 50 years later, the case still hasn’t been closed and remains one of the most notorious unsolved crimes in American history. 

Learn about the Zodiac Killer, what we know, and speculation surrounding it on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Curious City - How a group of volunteers saved a rare Illinois wildflower

The Kankakee mallow is one of the rarest plants on the continent, according to the Smithsonian Garden in Washington D.C. It’s a pink flower that grows on tall stalks and is native to just one small island in the middle of the Kankakee River, about an hour south of Chicago. But when botanist Rachel Goad paddled over to take a look back in 2014 with a group of native plant enthusiasts, instead they found an island overgrown with invasive honeysuckle. Was this special native plant gone for good? Perhaps, if not for the efforts of a small group of volunteers, initially led by conservationist Trevor Edmonson. “Hearing the phrase that the Kankakee mallow only grows on this island — anywhere in the world, like that is the extent of its remaining natural habitat — is such a draw for anybody, especially someone early on in their career,” Edmonson said. Today, reporter Claire Keenan-Kurgan from the Points North podcast at Interlochen Public Radio guides us on this floral rescue mission.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Battle of Actium

On September 2, 31 BC, one of the most important battles in history took place off the coast of Greece. 

The forces of Octavian, the posthumously adopted son of Julius Caesar, squared off against the forces of Mark Antony, the former right-hand man of Julius Caesar. 

After having been partners in ruling Rome for years, the two developed irreconcilable differences that had to be resolved on the battlefield. 

The outcome of the battle influenced the course of the Roman Empire for centuries. 

Learn more about the Battle of Actium, what caused it, and how it affected history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
