Getting to the Bottom of Shoes

It seems like the sort of thing humans have used throughout our existence, but historically speaking, footwear is a relatively new invention.
For hundreds of thousands of years, humans spent their entire lives barefoot. Then someone got the bright idea that it might be a good idea to put something between our feet and the ground, and from there, it was a direct path to Air Jordans, hiking boots, and flip-flops.
Learn more about the development of the shoe and what our feet would look like if we didn’t wear them on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Discovery and Burial of the Remains of Richard III
The death of a British monarch is a very big event. Thousands of people may take part in the funeral and procession, with millions more lining up to pay their respects and billions more watching on television.
This didn’t always use to be the case, however.
In particular, there was one English King who not only didn’t get an elaborate funeral, no one knew where his body was for over 500 years.
Learn more about the body of King Richard III and how it was lost and then discovered on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Ada Lovelace: The World’s First Computer Programmer
Born in 1815, Ada Byron was the only legitimate child of the famous poet Lord Byron.
Unlike her famous father, Ada did not pursue a literary career. Guided by her mother, she took a diametrically different path studying math and logic.
At the age of 17, she had a chance encounter with Charles Babbage, who was designing the world’s first mechanical computer. It was the beginning of a groundbreaking collaboration that would only be understood over a century later.
Learn more about Ada Lovelace, the world’s first computer programmer, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
