Everything Everywhere Daily - Great Zimbabwe (Encore)

Located near the city of Masvingo in Central Zimbabwe are the ruins of one of the greatest civilizations of the Middle Ages.

Subsequent archeological investigations showed not just that they were wrong, but that the civilization which was there had contact with some of the furthest reaches of the known world.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Rise and Fall of the Boeing 747

Introduced in 1968, the Boeing 747 totally revolutionized commercial air transportation. It was more than twice the size of the next closest passenger plane, and it brought air travel to a much wider audience.

Not only did it help democratize air travel, but the plane’s unique features also added a new element of style and luxury to the jet age. 

In addition to carrying passengers, it has also served as an important cargo aircraft, and it has even served as Air Force One.

Learn more about the Boeing 747 on the 747th episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

39 Ways to Save the Planet - Zero Carbon Farm

Can British farmers transform themselves into carbon-cutting heroes? Arable farmer, Duncan Farrington has worked hard to reduce the carbon emissions from his farm. He's replanted hedges and trees and cut down on diesel-powered machinery. He's even persuaded some of his staff to cycle to work. But Duncan's farm isn't just zero carbon, it's actually sucking in and locking up vast quantities of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Duncan explains to Tom how he's transformed the management of his soil and proven to doubters that commercial British arable farms can play their part in cutting the planet's carbon emissions.

Bay Curious - The Farallon Islands: Nice Home For Birds, Less So for Humans

Twenty-seven miles west of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Farallon Islands jut out of the Pacific. On the clearest of days, the grouping of 20 islets is visible from shore. We dive into the history of these islands — from their earliest human visitors, to the people who have called them home over the decades. Then, we take a trip to the islands with reporter Izzy Bloom to learn about the animals that are thriving in this wildlife refuge.
