Everything Everywhere Daily - The Domestication of Sheep
Sometime around 11,000 years ago, somewhere in the Middle East or Central Asia, someone figured out how they could keep wild sheep and breed them.
This simple act had enormous consequences for humanity. It improved food production, revolutionized the production of clothing, and even influenced the development of writing.
Fast forward over 10,000 years, and sheep are still a significant part of the economies of several nations.
Learn more about the domestication of sheep and how it changed human civilization on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Origins of the Vietnam War (Encore)
The Vietnam War was perhaps the most significant event that took place in the last half of the 20th century.
It had profound impacts on the United States and, of course, Vietnam.
However, many people have a very simplistic view of the causes of the war. They assume it was just a result of Cold War politics. While that was certainly a cause, the root causes go back much further.
Learn more about the origins of the Vietnam War and how and why it happened on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Curious City - Is your local mall dying, thriving or evolving?
Malls hold a special spot in the hearts of many Americans of a certain age. One may have been the setting for your first date, the place you caught a now-classic summer blockbuster, or even a daycare of sorts after mom dropped you off with a few friends (and maybe a few bucks).
In our last episode, we looked back at the history of Chicago’s Ford City Mall and the heyday of mall culture in America: the 1980s and 1990s.
In this episode, we look at how malls are doing today with Stephanie Cegielski, vice president of the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC). She says reports of the death of the mall are overblown, that malls are adapting to a new era by offering experiences, and that Gen Z is playing a large role in malls’ resilience. Cegielski cites an ICSC survey of over 1,000 people aged 16-26 that found 60% of respondents say they visit malls just to socialize or meet friends, even if they don’t need to purchase something specific.
“We just asked them blankly, ‘Do you still go to the mall?’” Cegielski said. “And the short answer was yes.”
