The Strait of Malacca

As you probably know, the Earth consists of 70% water and 30% land. However, all those bits of water and land are not the same. Some of them hold great strategic importance because they serve as choke points for people who want to get from place to place. One one-and-a-half-mile stretch of water is perhaps the most important stretch of water in the world. Through this small strait passes approximately 25% of the entire world’s trade. Learn more about the Strait of Malacca and its importance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.Subscribe to the podcast! https://link.chtbl.com/EverythingEverywhere?sid=ShowNotes--------------------------------Executive Producer: Darcy AdamsAssociate Producers: Peter Bennett & Thor Thomsen Become a supporter on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingeverywhereUpdate your podcast app at newpodcastapps.comSearch Past Episodes at fathom.fmDiscord Server: https://discord.gg/UkRUJFhInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/everythingeverywhere/Twitter: https://twitter.com/everywheretripWebsite: https://everything-everywhere.com/everything-everywhere-daily-podcast/Everything Everywhere is an Airwave Media podcast." or "Everything Everywhere is part of the Airwave Media podcast networkPlease contact sales@advertisecast.com to advertise on Everything Everywhere.

The Sinking of the Bismarck

Entering the second world war, Britain was still the top naval power in the world.  While the British Navy was superior in its entirety, Nazi Germany had created a ship that terrified the British. One-on-one, it could take out any ship in the British fleet. Eventually, it was sent out into the open ocean of the North Atlantic to disrupt shipping. When the British found out, they dedicated almost all of their fleet in the North Atlantic to its destruction. Learn more about the sinking of the Bismarck on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.Subscribe to the podcast! https://link.chtbl.com/EverythingEverywhere?sid=ShowNotes--------------------------------Executive Producer: Darcy AdamsAssociate Producers: Peter Bennett & Thor Thomsen Become a supporter on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingeverywhereUpdate your podcast app at newpodcastapps.comSearch Past Episodes at fathom.fmDiscord Server: https://discord.gg/UkRUJFhInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/everythingeverywhere/Twitter: https://twitter.com/everywheretripWebsite: https://everything-everywhere.com/everything-everywhere-daily-podcast/Everything Everywhere is an Airwave Media podcast." or "Everything Everywhere is part of the Airwave Media podcast network.Please contact sales@advertisecast.com to advertise on Everything Everywhere.

The Mandarin Class and Chinese Imperial Exams (Encore)

In the year 607, the Emperor Yang of the Sui dynasty implemented a reform whereby a series of exams would be administered throughout the empire to create a bureaucratic elite that would administer the country. That reform became one of the bedrocks of Chinese society, throughout every dynasty, for the next 1,300 years. The effects of these exams can still be felt in Chinese society today.Learn more about the Mandarin class and the Imperial Examination system on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.Subscribe to the podcast! https://link.chtbl.com/EverythingEverywhere?sid=ShowNotes--------------------------------Executive Producer: Darcy AdamsAssociate Producers: Peter Bennett & Thor Thomsen Become a supporter on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingeverywhereUpdate your podcast app at newpodcastapps.comSearch Past Episodes at fathom.fmDiscord Server: https://discord.gg/UkRUJFhInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/everythingeverywhere/Twitter: https://twitter.com/everywheretripWebsite: https://everything-everywhere.com/everything-everywhere-daily-podcast/Everything Everywhere is an Airwave Media podcast." or "Everything Everywhere is part of the Airwave Media podcast networkPlease contact sales@advertisecast.com to advertise on Everything Everywhere.
