Everything Everywhere Daily - The League of Nations

The first world war, known simply as the Great War at that time, was the most horrific war the world had ever seen. When the conflict ended, there was an effort to make sure that such a thing never happened again. 

To that end, a deliberative body was created where nations could come together to debate and discuss matters before plunging, once again, into war. 

While having some success, this deliberative body ultimately failed at its stated goal of avoiding another world war.

Learn more about the League of Nations and why it failed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Kidnapping of Charley Ross

Most children growing up are admonished not to take candy from strangers. 

It is good advice, but it isn’t advice that comes from nowhere. It comes from a particular incident 150 years ago that shocked the world and changed how we view children’s safety.

It was an event, the echos of which can be seen today in efforts to find abducted children.

Learn more about the kidnapping of Charley Ross on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Trial By Combat

In the TV series Game of Thrones, there were four different seasons where disputes were determined with trial by combat. 

As fictional as the Game of Thrones universe is, the idea of resolving legal disputes by fighting, sometimes to the death, was historically accurate. 

For centuries, trial by combat was a legitimate option for conflict resolution, and according to some theories, it might still technically exist. 

Learn more about trial by combat and how it was actually conducted on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Rise and Fall of Department Stores

For most of human history, if you wanted something, you had to make it yourself or know the person who made it. 

Eventually, merchants began to sell more and more goods in one store to make it convenient for consumers. 

These stores reached their zenith with enormous structures which sold almost everything. They were not just innovations themselves, but they were an engine for innovations which are still with us today.

Learn more about the rise and fall of department stores on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Curious City - Coming out later in life

Former WBEZ host Tony Sarabia produced an audio documentary titled “Unlocking The Closet'' back in 2000. Tony, who came out later in life, wanted to share the stories of others who’d also finally felt ready to take this step. The documentary recounts the coming out stories of queer people who grew up in the 1950s and early ‘60s. While a lot has changed, many queer Americans still don’t have a safe space to come out. Curious City pulls this documentary out of the archives to recognize October 11 – National Coming Out Day.
