Everything Everywhere Daily - The Battle of Vicksburg
The most famous battles of the US Civil War all occurred in the eastern theater, such as Gettysburg, Antietam, Shiloh, and Bull Run.
However, one of the most important battles, from both a strategic and tactical standpoint, took place in the west.
It was one of the most brilliant led battles of the entire conflict, and it vaulted into prominence a man who would go on to lead the Union to victory and ultimately the Presidency.
Learn more about the Battle of Vicksburg and how it changed the course of the Civil War on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Banks and Banking
One of the biggest and most important industries in the world is banking.
Banks are large, control an enormous amount of money, and are often the most influential economic institutions in most countries.
Yet, banks are not a modern invention. Banks, in one form or another, have been around for thousands of years and have evolved into the modern institutions we have today over that time.
Learn more about the history of banking and how it came to be on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Calendar Reform
Our calendar and system of keeping time are rather unique.
It isn’t nice and tidy like the metric system. It is a collection of odd time units, leap years, and rotating calendars.
As such, many people throughout history have thought that they could do better.
So they have made proposals for changing our calendar, some of which would be very different from the one we are used to.
Learn more about proposed calendar reforms on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Zadie Smith looks back at her debut novel ‘White Teeth’ 25 years after its release
Zadie Smith's White Teeth marked its 25th anniversary in January. The now canonical novel tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a shy Englishman named Archie Jones and his friend Samad Iqbal, a devout Bengali Muslim. Both men are trying to pass on their religious and moral beliefs to their children. In today's episode, we revisit a conversation between Smith and NPR's Liane Hansen that aired shortly after White Teeth's release. Then, we'll hear some of Smith's conversation last month on NPR's Wild Card with Rachel Martin in which Smith reflects on the novel's anniversary. The two discuss the author's distance from the person she was when she wrote White Teeth and the novel's place among the canon of books for teenagers.

Curious City - Maria Rodriguez: From fashion designer to restaurateur
In our last episode, Curious City question-asker Emily Porter sent us on a quest exploring the world of local fashion designers, all after she found a thrift shop sweater with a tag that reads: “Maria Rodriguez Chicago.”
Who is Maria Rodriguez? How did she get into the industry? And what is it like to be a fashion designer in Chicago?
To answer those questions, we take a trip to the basement of the Chicago History Museum, where collection manager Jessica Pushor has archived several Maria Rodriguez ensembles and a case file of news clippings, photos and look books. We also stopped by El Nuevo Mexicano, a Mexican restaurant in Lakeview that Rodriguez now owns and operates, to get the story from the fashion designer herself.
