Everything Everywhere Daily - A Brief History of Basketball
On December 21, 1891, a physical education teacher in Springfield, Massachusetts, looking to keep athletes occupied during the winter, hung some peach baskets on the balcony of the gymnasium.
With these peach baskets and an old soccer ball, he created something that revolutionized sports and became one of the most popular games in the world.
Learn more about the history of basketball and how it became a global phenomenon on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For thousands of years, one of the most terrifying and destructive diseases which afflicted humanity has been leprosy.
Leprosy is a condition that affects the nerves and skin, and in extreme cases, it can result in the loss of limbs and other appendages.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Tokyo Rose & Axis Sally (Encore)
During World War II, allied soldiers would often spend their time listening to the radio. They could, at least for a little while, be transported back home by listening to popular music with the soothing sounds of a female radio host with a flawless American accent.
Along with the music, the troops would also get a healthy dose of enemy propaganda.
Learn more about Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally, how they got stuck doing radio, and what happened to them after the war, on this Episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Zeno’s Paradoxes
About 2,500 years ago, a Greek philosopher by the name of Zeno of Elea proposed several paradoxes about the natural word.
His ideas were actually really simple, but they were incredibly difficult to explain away.
For the last two millennia, philosophers have been trying to resolve his paradoxes, and they are still trying to explain them today.
Learn more about the paradoxes of Zeon and how they can possibly be resolved on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
