Everything Everywhere Daily - Emperor Nero (Encore)

In the year 54, the Roman Emperor Claudius died, and his adopted son Nero became the Emperor of Rome at the age of 16. 

His reign was one of the most infamous in history, and over 2000 years after he came to power, his name is still used to invoke the image of a cruel ruler and a despot.

But what exactly made him so bad, and was he really as bad as the legends say?
Learn more about Emperor Nero and why his reign became so infamous on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - European Exclaves

We have all looked at a map and seen all of the different countries represented by different colors. A country has some sort of border, and everything inside that border is what makes up the country. 

However, there are some exceptions. There are exclaves, which are bits of a country that are separated from the main landmass, and enclaves, which are parts of a country totally surrounded by another country. 

Why in the world would such odd arrangements ever exist?

Learn more about the exclaves of Europe and the odd circumstances that created them on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Spanish Inquisition

At the end of the 15th century, Spain had almost completed the Reconquista and the removal of the Caliphate in the Iberian Peninsula, ending centuries of Islamic rule.

One of the first things they did was usher in an attempt to unify and purify the country as a Catholic one, rather than a multi-religious one. 

After receiving permission from the Pope, the Spanish monarchy persecuted hundreds of thousands of people for the crime of not being Catholic.

Learn about why the Spanish Inquisition occurred and common misconceptions surrounding the event on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The 19th century was one of rapid technological advancement. 

Of all of the innovations to come out of this century, and there were many, perhaps none was more important than that of the telephone. 

The telephone radically changed communications, allowing personal communications over long distances. 

Despite what many people are often told, this invention wasn’t simply the genius of one man, but was rather something developed over decades.
