Everything Everywhere Daily - Cannons and Artillery

Over the last several centuries, one of the weapons that has defined warfare has been artillery. 

It was used in the conquest of Constantinople by ships on the high seas, reached its apex during the First World War, and is still being used today. 

What has allowed this weapon to remain in use for so long is technological advancements, which have made artillery more accurate, powerful, and deadly. 

Learn more about cannons and artillery and how they evolved and shaped warfare over the centuries on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - John Brown

In the decades prior to the outbreak of the US Civil War, abolitionists had been ratcheting up their efforts to end the institution of slavery. 


The battle was fought mainly through politics and persuasion, but some were not satisfied with a peaceful approach and felt that more active means were necessary.


One abolitionist stands above others in his willingness to use violence to end the institution of slavery: John Brown. 


Learn about John Brown and his radical abolitionism on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - A History of Soap and Detergent

Sometime in the last 24 hours, most of you have used soap or detergent, either directly or indirectly. 

Soap, like many other things, was most likely discovered by accident thousands of years ago. 

Fast forward to today, and these products are used for cleaning almost everything, from our bodies to cars to dishes. 

Soaps and detergents, despite being similar products that serve similar purposes, approach their tasks slightly differently and are used in different circumstances.

Learn more about soap and detergent, how they were developed, and how they work on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Curious City - ‘Friendship set to music’: Curious City goes square dancing on the South Side

It’s a Thursday night and a group of folks in Washington Heights do-si-do to the bassline from “Shake Your Groove Thing” by Peaches & Herb. Square dancing has a reputation as more of a hobby for white people set to country music. But social clubs like the Southside Squares are turning that image on its head. Last episode, we heard how square dancing was once a booming hobby. Today, we hear from one social club that’s working to keep it alive in the 21st century. But square dancing’s African and African-American roots often get lost in popular accounts. Some of the first callers and musicians were enslaved Black people. Since then, square dancing has continued to be a part of African-American communities, including a long-running social club that meets up in Washington Heights every week to get down. Today, we hear from members of the Southside Squares. And you can’t have a dance without a caller. We also talk with a living legend in square dancing: world renowned caller Sandie Bryant. She’ll show us the ropes and tell us what it’s like being one of the few Black women callers today.
