The Last Emperor of China (Encore)

In 1908, a two-year-old boy named Puyi was installed as the 11th Emperor of the Qing Dynasty in China. His life would prove to be radically different from that of any other Chinese emperor who came before him. He would see the end of Imperial China, become a puppet ruler for those who wished legitimacy, wind up in prison, and finally live out his final days as a commoner.  His personal story can be seen as a microcosm of the history of China during the 20th century.  Learn more about Puyi, the last Emperor of China, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.  Sponsors * Quince * Go to quince.com/daily [http://quince.com/daily] for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order! * Mint Mobile * Get your 3-month Unlimited wireless plan for just 15 bucks a month at mintmobile.com/eed [http://mintmobile.com/eed] * Chubbies * Get 20% off your purchase at Chubbies with the promo code DAILY at checkout! * Aura Frames * Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/DAILY [https://on.auraframes.com/DAILY].

The Night Witches

In the dark skies over the Eastern Front of World War II, the Soviet Union deployed one of the most unusual and effective combat units of the war: the Night Witches.  Officially the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, this unit flew outdated, fragile biplanes on nighttime harassment missions against German forces, cutting their engines to glide silently toward their targets before dropping bombs.  More notably, the regiment was entirely composed of women. Learn about the Night Witches on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Earthquakes

Approximately 55 times a day, or 20,000 times a year, an earthquake occurs somewhere on Earth.   Of those, the vast majority go unnoticed and cause no damage whatsoever. Nonetheless, earthquakes are commonly considered among the most feared natural disasters due to their sudden, unpredictable nature and their potential to unleash incredible devastation.  Learn about earthquakes, how they are measured, and the most impacted regions in the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Gabon

When you think of countries in Africa, it is unlikely that Gabon will be one of the first to cross your mind.  It is entirely possible that some of you might never ever heard of Gabon.  Considered “Earth’s last Eden,” Gabon is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, yet very little is known about it because not much has ever happened there to make it into the news. In fact, one of the biggest things to have ever happened there took place 1.7 billion years ago. Learn about the history of Gabon on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Dark Origins of Fairy Tales, Part I

Modern fairy tales often conclude with a protagonist achieving their dreams and a simple "happily ever after."  This popular image, often promoted by studios like Disney for family-friendly consumption, only scratches the surface of these classic narratives.  In reality, many of these beloved stories boast far darker origins, featuring unsettling themes and grim endings that would be entirely unsuitable for children's movies. Learn about the true stories behind popular fairytales on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.  Sponsors * Quince * Go to quince.com/daily [http://quince.com/daily] for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order! * Mint Mobile * Get your 3-month Unlimited wireless plan for just 15 bucks a month at mintmobile.com/eed [http://mintmobile.com/eed] * Chubbies * Get 20% off your purchase at Chubbies with the promo code DAILY at checkout! * Aura Frames * Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/DAILY [https://on.auraframes.com/DAILY].
