Everything Everywhere Daily - The Stanford Prison Experiment

In the summer of 1971, Stanford professor of psychology Philip Zimbardo conducted an experiment to determine if cruelty amongst people of authority was because of the position or the people. 

Twenty-four men were selected and randomly assigned roles of guard or prisoner. 

The results were shocking and are still being debated over 50 years later. 

Learn more about the Stanford Prison Experiment, one of the most controversial experiments ever conducted, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

They spoke to Ayesha Rascoe about Trump's White House tenure – and what it means for the American presidency at large.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Astronomical Distances and the Age of the Universe

Every so often, astronomers will publish photos taken with an astronomical telescope and say that the object they captured is so many billions of light years away. 

But how could they know the distance of something from just looking at it? 

Furthermore, astronomers claim that the universe is almost 14 billion years old. How could they possibly know that?

Well, there are answers to these questions, and surprisingly, astronomical distance and age and closely intertwined. 

Learn more about astronomical distances and the age of the universe on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Philippe Petit and the World’s Greatest Tightrope Walk (Encore)

On the morning of August 7, 1974, the people of New York City woke up to witness one of the most incredible sights that the city had ever seen. 

Between the two towers of the New York World Trade Center, 1,350 feet off of the ground, was a man who was waking on a wire.

It was audacious. It was dangerous. It was also totally illegal. 

Learn more about Philippe Petit and the artistic crime of the century on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Hindenburg Disaster

In the 1920s and 1930s, one of the most cutting-edge and exciting forms of transportation was the zeppelin. 

Germany’s Luftschiffbau Zeppelin Company created lighter-than-air airships that transported passengers millions of miles worldwide. 

This new form of transportation which seemed to be the future, came to a sudden and dramatic end on one horrific day in 1937 in New Jersey.

NPR's Book of the Day - Two YA books spark conversation about race and racial justice activism in youth

Today, YA adult novels – both of which have faced bans from schools and libraries – focus on conversations with kids regarding race and police brutality. First, Angie Thomas talks about The Hate You Give, in which an unarmed black teenager is killed by a police officer. Thomas reflects on victims of racial injustice in this discussion. Then, we hear from Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely about All American Boys, in which a white teen witnesses his black friend be brutalized by a cop. The two authors discuss in an interview with Karen Grigsby Bates the importance of being proactive in racial justice.

Gatecrashers - Ep. 4: Yale and the Slow Death of Quotas

It’s accepted as gospel—or at least reliable urban legend—that at nearly every Ivy League school in the mid-20th century, there were limits on the number of Jews admitted each year. The Jewish population, it was said, was capped at 10 percent of the student body. But was that true?


Episode 4 of Gatecrashers investigates the real story of Jewish quotas, examining the practice at Yale University. You’ll hear reflections from Sen. Joe Lieberman (Yale ‘64), Benjamin Zucker (Yale ‘58), and Tim Oppenheimer (Yale ‘67, and father of Gatecrashers host Mark Oppenheimer). You’ll also hear from former Yale admissions director Henry “Sam” Chauncey, who shares what he was told when he started his job in 1957, and Dan Oren, author of Joining the Club: A History of Jews at Yale


How did Jewish quotas start at Yale, and how did they finally end? Listen and find out:

Bay Curious - Wanna Try Roller Skating in San Francisco? Better Head to Church

Bay Curious listener Katie Talda recently visited San Francisco's only indoor skating rink, the Church of 8 Wheels. The novelty of skating inside an old Catholic church left her wondering how the building went from house of worship to roller disco. We dig into a bit of San Francisco's skating history, and meet the man behind the Church of 8 Wheels, who's known by many as the 'Godfather of Skate.'

This story was reported by Amanda Font. Bay Curious is made by Olivia Allen-Price, Katrina Schwartz, and Brendan Willard. Our Social Video Intern is Darren Tu.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Shakespeare’s English

English is a very strange language. It is a Germanic language where half of the words come from a Romance language.

We have a host of words that make absolutely no sense in terms of spelling or pronunciation. 

Perhaps strangest of all, some of the greatest literary works in the English language are filled with words that aren’t even in the language anymore. 

Learn more about the English of Shakespeare and how our language has changed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
