California isn’t just another US state. It is the most populous state in the union, and it has an economy which, if it were an independent country, would be the 5th largest in the world.
Yet, this wasn’t always the case. In the 19th century, California wasn’t much at all. Hardly anyone lived there. It was far away from the American center of power and was technically part of Mexico.
Yet despite its late start, it more than made up for lost time in the 20th century.
Learn more about California, its history and what makes it so special on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The History of the Bow and Arrow
One of the most important inventions in human history was the bow and arrow.
A bow and arrow is a rather simple device but it was a revolutionary advancement for humanity’s ability to hunt and to fight.
Unlike many very early human inventions, the bow and arrow have had an extremely long lifespan. For thousands of years it remained virtually unchanged. That was until the last 100 years when this age old device changed dramatically.
Learn more about the history of the bow and arrow and how it changed the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Blitz
From September 1940 until May 1941, the people of the United Kingdom experienced the horrors of war firsthand.
Hundreds of bombers ran thousands of missions over civilian areas of Great Britain.
The hardest hit of all the cities was the capital of London.
By the time the bombing campaign stopped, tens of thousands were killed, over a hundred thousand were injured, and thousands of buildings, including homes, factories, and historic landmarks, were destroyed.
Learn more about the Blitz, how and why it happened, and how Britain persevered on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Investing 101
Every day, hundreds of billions of dollars worth of investments are bought and sold around the world. Most of these transactions are conducted by investment banks and other large institutions.
Many, if not most, of these organizations act on behalf of other actors, often individual investors.
However, many people avoid investing because it seems complicated, and they don’t understand how it works.
Learn more about investing and some of the basic concepts on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Citizenship
Almost everyone listening to the sound of my voice is a citizen of some country.
Citizenship seems very simple and straightforward, but it is anything but. For most of human history, almost everyone was not a citizen of anything.
Today, it is entirely possible to change citizenship, become a citizen of multiple countries, or possibly even become a citizen of no country at all.
In some countries, the issue of who can become a citizen and how are some of the biggest issues they face.
Learn more about citizenship, how it developed, and what it means in the world today on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
