In the early 20th century, David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale, and his wife Sydney Bowles had seven children, six girls and one boy.
The sisters all achieved notoriety for entirely different reasons.
They were, how can I say, different from each other. Very different. Several of them found themselves associated with some of the most important individuals of the mid-20th century.
Learn more about the Mitford Sisters and their very different lives on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In 1970, one of the world’s largest infrastructure projects opened in Aswan, Egypt.
It was a dam that harnessed the power of the Nile River, the longest river in the world.
The dam provided electricity for half of the country and tamed the annual floods, a regular feature on the Nile.
But the project wasn’t without its drawbacks. It became a point of contention during the Cold War, displaced thousands, and destroyed an unknown number of ancient artifacts.
Learn more about the Aswan High Dam on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

It is the most expensive substance in the world by a wide margin.
When it was first proposed, it was actually proposed in jest. However, decades later, the joke turned out to have been true.
It is a fundamental part of the universe, and by all accounts, it should be everywhere, yet it can’t be found anywhere, and physicists aren’t really sure why.
Learn more about antimatter, how it was discovered, and what it is on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

One of the most popular card games in the world is poker.
The game was played in the old west among cowboys, by dogs on velvet paintings, and by the crew of the Star Ship Enterprise.
Poker is played informally among friends and family, yet it is also a high-stakes competitive game where millions of dollars can be won or lost.
It is a game that has origins that go back centuries, but in its modern manifestation, it is also very modern.
Learn more about the game of Poker and how it became one of the most popular card games in the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Perhaps the most respected and feared soldiers in the world are those who belong to Special Forces.
Special Forces are considered to be the elite of the elite. Most nations have some sort of Special Forces units in their military.
Some of the best-known Special Forces units are household names and others are, how shall we say, more secret.
While Special Forces seem rather modern, the tradition of creating units of elite soldiers actually goes back to antiquity.
Learn more about Special Operations Forces and their history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

On the morning of February 14, 1929, a horrific crime took place on the north side of Chicago.
Seven men were lined up against the wall of an auto garage and gunned down in cold blood by machine gun fire.
The event marked the low point of the violent mob wars that took place in the city of Chicago. It also marked a turning point in attitudes towards prohibition in the United States and the war on organized crime.

A reconnaissance satellite, otherwise known as a spy satellite, is somewhere above your head right now, collecting images and gathering intelligence on whatever it sees below it.
Ten countries are currently believed to have at least one spy satellite.

Learn more about spy satellites, how they work and how they have evolved over time on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the 1960s, a New York clinical psychiatrist and an adoption agency conducted an experiment. They separated multiple sets of identical twins and one set of identical triplets into different families to test how much of personality is due to genetics or the environment.
None of the children or families were ever told about this.
The results of this experiment, and other cases like it, have proved to be fascinating.
Learn more about identical twins and triples that were separated at birth on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Located off the coast of South America and in the Southern Atlantic Ocean is the Falkland Islands.
The Falklands are an almost treeless archipelago where sheep and penguins outnumber the people.
It has little in the way of natural resources beyond fish and grass for grazing.
Yet, these sparsely populated islands have been the subjects of international disputes and even war.
Learn more about the Falkland Islands on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
