Everything Everywhere Daily - Dr. Sun Yat-sen (Encore)

For over two thousand years, China lived under imperial rule. A series of dynasties and emperors were the defining feature of Chinese governance.

However, in the early 20th century, China threw off its imperial rulers and became, for the first time in its history, a republic.

Much of the reason why China became a republic was due to one man.

Learn more about Sun Yat-sen and the downfall of imperial China on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In today's episode, the author speaks with The Indicator's Wailin Wong about why the Olympics are such a good backdrop for a rom-com, why there was a dearth of these stories, and how the International Olympic Committee's copyright rules impacted her writing.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Scramble for Africa

In November 1884, representatives from a dozen European countries met in Berlin.

The reason for the meeting was audacious. They were going to carve up the continent of Africa between them.

No one from Africa was in attendance at the conference, and no one was even invited. The decisions they made at this conference, and in the decades that followed, can still be felt in the world today.

Learn more about the European Scramble for Africa and how the European powers carved up a continent on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘We Were Illegal’ examines Texas history through multiple generations of one family

After she worked on a book about refugee resettlement in the U.S., writer Jessica Goudeau says she realized she knew very little about how her own family arrived in Texas. Her new book, We Were Illegal, looks at multiple generations of her family and how their lives reflected a history of racism, slavery and violence in her home state. In today's episode, Goudeau speaks with Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes about how family secrets and the language we use to talk about our lineage contributes to the mythmaking of America, and why she wanted to put those difficult conversations out in the open.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Arctic and the North Pole

Located north of 66°33′ North latitude is the region we call the Arctic.

The Arctic is unlike any other environment on Earth, even the Antarctic. It is sparsely populated and has unique wildlife and a biome that can’t be found anywhere else.

It completely dark in the winter and the sun never sets in the summer…and of course, it is really cold.

Learn more about the Arctic and what makes it so special on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
