In 1856, the United States passed a law allowing American citizens to claim islands in the country’s name, provided that no other country claimed them and that no one lived there. 

The result was a host of scattered islands with zero population becoming part of the country. 

Today, these islands are still US territories, and the vast majority of American citizens have absolutely no clue they are a part of the country. 

Learn more about uninhabited US Territories and their odd histories on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For millions of years, the islands of New Zealand remained a pristine wilderness, untouched by human footsteps.  That changed in the 13th century when the world’s most elite mariners executed one of history’s greatest feats of navigation. 

Guided by the stars and ocean swells, the Māori arrived with a "Great Fleet" of double-hulled canoes, completing the final chapter of Polynesian migration. 

From the extinction of the giant Moa to resistance to the British, the Māori established a culture that endures to this day.

Learn more about the Māori settlement of New Zealand on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Sometime around 66 million years ago, a meteor smashed into what is today the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. 

The impact of that event changed life on Earth in ways that are still evident today. 

Evidence for this impact wasn’t obvious. There was strong skepticism when the theory was proposed, and it took decades for it to become widely accepted. 

In the end, the evidence proved overwhelming.

Learn more about the Chicxulub Impact, how it was discovered, and how it changed the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Few artists are as instantly recognizable as Vincent van Gogh. 

In just a single decade of work, he created some of the most famous paintings in history, filled with bold color, swirling movement, and raw emotion. 

Yet during his lifetime, he sold almost nothing and struggled with poverty and mental illness. 

Today, his works hang in the world’s greatest museums and inspire millions. How did a little-known painter become one of the most influential artists of all time?

Today, baseball is played at the highest levels on nearly every continent. Stars come from the United States, Japan, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Korea, and far beyond.

Learn how baseball became a global game, and how the World Baseball Classic transformed international competition on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For thousands of years, one animal shaped the ecology, culture, and history of an entire continent. 

In vast herds that once numbered in the tens of millions, the North American bison dominated the Great Plains, sustaining Indigenous societies and transforming the landscape itself. 

Yet within a single human lifetime, they were driven to the brink of extinction. Their story is one of abundance, destruction, and survival against extraordinary odds.

In the Indian Ocean lies an island notorious for its extreme isolation from the outside world: North Sentinel Island. 

The Sentinelese, who call North Sentinel Island home, are people who live a Stone Age existence and fiercely defend their territory. 

Their isolation and violence towards outsiders mean that we know almost nothing about them and probably won’t for quite some time.

Learn more about North Sentinel Island, the Sentinelese, and why the world has chosen to leave them alone on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Among all the decorations awarded by the United States military, one stands apart. 

It is not given for bravery, leadership, or extraordinary achievement. Instead, it recognizes something far more personal: the physical cost of war. 

The Purple Heart is awarded to those who have been wounded or killed in combat, making it one of the most solemn honors a service member can receive. 

Learn more about the origins, history, and meaning of the Purple Heart on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
