Thousands of years ago, humans discovered a black-yellowish liquid that come out from the ground and could burn when it was set on fire. 

Today, the fluid that seeped from the rocks is responsible for much of our modern world.

But how does that fluid become usable fuel, and how exactly do you get it out of the rocks? 

Learn more about petroleum, aka crude oil, and how it gets from the ground to your vehicle, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Author Tess Hadley's new novel opens with an affair, but that's not really what the book is about. Free Love is set in the 1960s just outside of London and it starts with a wealthy woman in her 40s, Phyllis, sharing a secret kiss with a much younger man who is not her husband (gasp). The kiss has unintended consequences and Phyllis has to figure out what she really wants out of life. Hadley told NPR's Elissa Nadworny that being part of the bourgeois is not something she's familiar with, but she loves to write about it because she doesn't think that world exists anymore.

Throughout history, there have been riots over many different things. 

Sports teams winning, sports teams losing, high prices, war protests, and police brutality, have all been a cause of riots at some point. 

However, in 1766, one town in England had perhaps one of the oddest riots of all time.

There is an Icelandic word, sprakkar, that means outstanding women - and those women are at the heart of the book Secrets Of The Sprakkar: Iceland's Extraordinary Women And How They Are Changing The World. Iceland's first lady and author, Eliza Reid, interviewed women from all walks of life to find out what makes being a woman in Iceland so great. Reid told NPR's Leila Fadel that not everyone knows Iceland has topped the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Equality Index for the past 12 years, so she set out to change that.

John J. Miller is joined by Steven F. Hayward to discuss his book, 'M. Stanton Evans.'

If you were to ask most people what the very first invention that humans came up with is, many of them might say the wheel. 

It isn’t a bad guess, but believe it not, the wheel was nowhere close to being the first invention. 

In fact, as far as we know, there were a whole bunch of things that were invented before the wheel, and in fact, probably had to have been invented before the wheel.

Learn more about why the wheel wasn’t invented sooner, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Back in 2013 author Anthony Marra wrote a book that is every bit as timely today. A Constellation Of Vital Phenomena takes place in Chechnya, a place very familiar with warring with Russia, in 2004. It's a story about the people - everyday, ordinary people - war and its aftermath impacts. Marra told NPR's Jacki Lyden that he wrote "a novel about people who are trying to transcend the hardships of their circumstances by saving others."

Located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is one of the smallest countries in the world. The country has only one proper hotel and that has just 9 rooms. 

Once you visit the country, there is no car rental service, there isn’t an ATM machine anywhere in the country, and the entire country doesn’t take credit cards. 

Oh, and good luck trying to get online.

In 1940, the world was at war, but the United States wasn’t A strong isolationist sentiment kept the US on the sidelines while Germany and Japan ran roughshod over their neighbors. 

While the US wasn’t in the war, many people in the US military knew that it was only a matter of time before we got sucked in. 

Over a year before the attack on Pearl Harbor, a plan was developed for just that eventuality.

Countries, like people, have names. Sometimes those names are long and they have a shorter version of it for common use. 

There are some countries, however, that often have multiple names, and the names can be radically different from each other. They might want everyone to call it by one name, or by a certain name in a certain language, but no one does. 

Why do some countries have multiple names, and does it really make a difference? 

Learn more about countries with confusing or multiple names on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
