Bay Curious - Did I Actually Contact a Dead Person? A Science Editor In Search of His Mother’s Ghost
Can spirits really speak to us from beyond death? That's what science editor and skeptic Jon Brooks has been wondering for 27 years, since he and a friend had an experience with a Ouija board that they just can't explain. After losing his mother, Jon decides to dust off the same board he used in 1995 and try to recreate the original experience with as much scientific rigor as one can manage while attempting to contact the dead.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Operation Felix
Early in the second world war, the Germans found themselves with a metaphorical pebble in their shoe. The pebble was actually a rather large rock that happened to guard the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea.
Unfortunately for them, it happened to be controlled by the British.
If they could remove the British, they could solve their problem and maybe do something for Hitler’s friend, Francisco Franco.
Learn more about Operation Felix, the planned German invasion of Gibraltar via Spain, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Recorded Sound
One of the landmark inventions in human history was the ability to record sound.
This technology allowed music to go from something only appreciated by a small number of people to something which could be enjoyed by millions.
It also allowed people to speak to others across vast distances and eventually led to a thing called podcasting.
Learn more about the history of recorded sound and how we went from wax cylinders to mp3s on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The 13th Amendment
The American Civil War wasn’t just a military conflict. There was also a major political and legal conflict struggle that took place alongside the military campaigns.
In the last months of the war, President Abraham Lincoln knew that if the war was to truly be the end of the conflict, it was necessary to ban slavery once and for all.
That would require changing the constitution.
Learn more about the 13th Amendment and the battle for its ratification on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Gatecrashers - Ep. 8: Harvard and the End of the Jewish Ivy League
In the 1990s, Harvard’s student body was said to be nearly a quarter Jewish. According to the Harvard Crimson’s 2020 survey of the freshman class, 6.7 percent of respondents identified as Jewish. On the final episode of this series, we explore the declining numbers of Jewish students across the Ivy League, and try to understand why, at places like Harvard, there may be fewer Jewish students today than when discriminatory policies kept them out a century ago.
We also look at how the same playbook that was developed to keep Jews out of elite universities–from the application, to the interview, to legacy preferences, to the hunt for geographical diversity–is now being used against a different minority group: Asian Americans.
Episode 8 of Gatecrashers features Rabbi Jonah Steinberg, researcher and The Half Opened Door author Marcia Graham Synnott, Harvard Law School professor Jeannie Suk Gersen, and various former and current Harvard students.
