John J. Miller is joined by Christopher Cox to discuss his new book, 'Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn.'

One of the most popular board games in the world is Monopoly. 

Millions of copies of the game have been sold and thousands of different versions have been published. 

However, the origins of the game are not what most people think. In fact, the game was originally designed not as a way for people to win by amassing properties but rather to demonstrate why that was a bad idea.

Learn more about the surprising origins of Monopoly, one of the most popular board games in history, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

It's been 50 years since the publication of All the President's Men, but journalist Bob Woodward says he hasn't changed his approach to political reporting. His new book, War, aims to bring readers as close as possible to the rooms where globally consequential diplomacy takes place. War focuses on three major conflicts and has already made headlines, detailing new information about the continued relationship between former President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. In today's episode, Woodward speaks with NPR's Scott Detrow about a high-stakes call between Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and his Russian counterparts about the potential use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Iran, and Woodward's observations on Vice President Harris' role in foreign diplomacy.

Ancient mathematics was very different than the mathematics you are used to today. 

Two primary tools ancient mathematicians used were the compass and the straightedge. With these two very simple objects, they were able to make an astounding number of proofs and mathematical discoveries. 

However, there were some problems that were always beyond their grasp. 

Learn more about squaring the circle and the problem that eluded mathematicians for over 2000 years on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader, died in a Siberian prison this past February–and in his diary entries, Navalny wrote that he knew he might not make it out alive. Those diaries are part of Navalny's new memoir, Patriot, published posthumously with help from his widow, Yulia Navalnaya. The book details some of Navalny's darkest moments in his fight for a more democratic Russia, but also showcases the leader's characteristic humor. In today's episode, Navalnaya joins NPR's Ari Shapiro to talk about a pivotal conversation between the couple during a prison visit, the duality of her late husband's personality as a serious politician and an ordinary family man, and taking up the mantle of the Russian opposition movement after Navalny's death.

Today, there is a giant rift that is tearing the continent of Africa apart.

..and I mean this quite literally because the rift isn’t cultural, economic, or political, it’s geologic.

In several million years, Africa will be split into two continents, and while the process will take a long time, you see ample evidence for it right now.

Learn more about the East African Rift and how it has shaped the modern continent of Africa on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
