Bay Curious - Runoff, Rivers and Rodents
You may have noticed that it has rained a LOT so far this year. All that water got us thinking about some of your water-related questions over the years. Where does all the rain water go? Are there really underground rivers in San Francisco? What happens to the ground squirrels when it rains? Do they… drown? This week on the show, it's a three-question lightning round with producer Amanda Font.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Cult of Reason
The French Revolution wasn’t just a political revolution where one government was replaced with a new one.
The French Revolution was also a social revolution. The largest social institution in France at the time of the revolution was the Catholic Church.
At the start of the revolution, the revolutionaries attempted to create a new state religion which was quite unlike anything else the world had seen before or since.
Learn more about the Cult of Reason and the attempts of Revolutionary France to create a state religion that wasn’t a religion on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Spruce Goose
During the height of the Second World War, American shipping to Europe was constantly being attacked by German U-boats.
In an attempt to completely bypass German subs, aviation pioneer Howard Hughes began construction on what would be the world’s largest aircraft.
A plane that was so large it could carry 750 passengers or two full-sized tanks across the Atlantic.
Sadly, it was hampered by wartime rationing of metals and only flew in one memorable test flight.
Learn more about the Hughes H-4 Hercules, aka the Spruce Goose, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the very long history of China, it has had exactly one female ruler.
She was a woman who managed, against all odds, to inch her way closer to power over a period of years until she reached a point where she could claim power for herself.
By all accounts, she was beautiful, brilliant, cunning, and absolutely ruthless.
