If you have used a computer, which I’m assuming is almost everyone listening to this, you have probably had to store your data somewhere. 

You might have used a USB drive, a hard drive, or if you are old enough, maybe even a floppy drive.

These types of data storage are just the latest in a long line of methods to store information that goes back a surprising amount of time. 

Learn more about this history of data storage and how it goes back farther than you might realize on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In 8 BC, the Roman senate passed a resolution renaming the month of Sextillis to August to honor the emperor Augustus. 

They chose Sextillis, which was the sixth month in the calendar because it was the month that he conquered Egypt.

Fast forward several centuries and August had a permanent place on the calendar. 

With that, prepare yourself for the August installment of Questions and Answers on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In almost all sports, people will refer to what is known as having a home-field advantage.

Home-field advantage is a simple concept. It implies that teams playing in their home stadium, arena, or field have a slight advantage over the visiting team.

But is home-field advantage a real thing? And if it is, what are the reasons for it, and which teams and which leagues have the largest home-field advantages?

Learn more about home-field advantage and if it is, in fact, a real thing on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

During the height of the Second World War, American shipping to Europe was constantly being attacked by German U-boats. 

In an attempt to completely bypass German subs, aviation pioneer Howard Hughes began construction on what would be the world’s largest aircraft. 

A plane that was so large it could carry 750 passengers or two full-sized tanks across the Atlantic. 

Sadly, it was hampered by wartime rationing of metals and only flew in one memorable test flight.

Learn more about the Hughes H-4 Hercules, aka the Spruce Goose, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Matt Pottinger used to cover China for Reuters and The Wall Street Journal before working as a deputy national security advisor for the Trump administration. Now, he's edited a new book called The Boiling Moat: Urgent Steps to Defend Taiwan. In today's episode, Pottinger speaks with NPR's Steve Inskeep about the global fallout that could result from China annexing Taiwan and the military strategy he thinks the U.S., Australia and other countries should implement to prevent a larger conflict from breaking out.
