Comic Phoebe Robinson told NPR's Rachel Martin that she doesn't wake up every day thinking "time to dismantle systemic racism!" But since she has a platform, she might as well use it to bring about some positive change. She also told Martin that her dream life involves buying sensible cardigans, getting day drunk with Kathy Lee and Hoda, and a loving marriage with Robert DeNiro. Robinson's book You Can't Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain goes into the racism she experiences and why she would like to date either Michael Fassbender or Michael B. Jordan (sorry Mr. DeNiro).

Here’s a special preview of the new season of Cautionary Tales from Pushkin Industries.

For centuries, humans have built canals to facilitate the transportation of people and goods. 

Usually, they are built to dramatically save time, like how the Panama and Suez canals can help avoid a trip around an entire continent.

However, there is currently a canal being built that is designed to replicate a natural feature that already exists. 

..and it might actually make sense. 

Learn more about the Istanbul Canal and why it is being built, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The 94th Academy Awards were last night. To celebrate we're taking a trip down memory lane with one of Hollywood's greatest icons, Rita Moreno. Back in 2013 she sat down with NPR's Rachel Martin to discuss her life and career, including her win for best supporting actress in 1962. She told Martin that her acceptance speech was so short because she wanted to get off stage so she could cry.

Ancient Rome had an enormous number of customs and traditions. Some of them have been passed down to us in the names of our months, or the letters in the Latin alphabet. 

However, they also had a lot of very customs which to us seem very strange. 

One of the strangest, and most powerful to the Romans, were the traditions surrounding the Roman city limits, aka the pomerium. 

Learn more about the Roman pomerium, and how seriously the Romans took it, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

On November 20, 1917, German soldiers on the Western Front saw something that had never been seen in the history of warfare. 

They witnessed over 400 lumbering metal beasts heading their way. If they tried to shoot them, the bullets would just bounce off. 

They were some of the first people to be introduced to tank warfare.

Learn more about the history of the tank, how they were developed and how they changed warfare, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

It's been nearly a month since Vladimir Putin attacked Ukraine, so we are taking another look at how we got here. First, an interview from 2014 with the late political scientist Karen Dawisha on how Putin and his cronies became so fabulously wealthy. She told NPR's Arun Rath that leveling economic sanctions would have been effective because Putin expected military action instead. Second, we have a new memoir from Marie Yovanovitch who was ousted as ambassador to Ukraine by President Trump and played a key role in his impeachment. She told NPR's Mary Louise Kelly it was a painful experience.

With the advent of modern medicine and the understanding of how bacteria, viruses, and parasites work, we’ve made enormous strides in reducing incidents of disease.

In a few cases, we have completely or almost completely eradicated diseases from the Earth. 

Learn more about humanity’s attempt to eradicate diseases on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
