Everything Everywhere Daily - 1775: The Start of the American Revolution
If you were to ask most people what year they associate with the American Revolution, it would be 1776. That was the year that the Continental Congress declared Independence.
However, 1776 wasn’t the start of the revolution, nor was it the end of the revolution. In fact, if it hadn’t been for the Declaration of Independence, it would have gone down as a pretty horrible year for the revolution.
For my money, the most interesting year of the revolution was actually the first year, 1775.
Learn more about 1775 and the start of the American Revolution on the 1775th episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Bay Curious - A Ford Factory Changed Milpitas, Then it Became a Mall
The Great Mall of Milpitas wasn't always a mall; it used to be a massive Ford factory. Bay Curious listener Brandon Choy wanted to know more about its history. The San Jose Assembly Plant opened in 1955 after relocating from Ford's outdated Richmond location. The new factory put Milpitas on the map, transforming a sleepy agricultural town into a thriving city. The factory’s opening also sparked historic social change: the construction of one of the first planned integrated neighborhoods in America.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Norman Conquest
On October 14, 1066, England changed forever.
Forces from Normandy, France, defeated the English King and changed life in England forever.
It affected everyone from the aristocracy down to the commoners, and it even trickled down to the very language spoken in the country itself.
In fact, the events of 1066 can still be seen and felt today.
Learn more about the Battle of Hastings and the Norman Conquest on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
