Did Shakespeare Write the Works of Shakespeare? (Encore)
William Shakespeare is widely considered one of the greatest poets and playwrights in the history of the English language.

Mountweazels (Encore)
Copyright is what protects creators from having someone copy and make money off of their work without compensation.
However, there are some things like directories or maps which have information that can be difficult to copyright. It’s just presenting information or data which exists out in the real world.
Such creators of maps and directories have found unique ways around this problem.
Learn more about copyright traps, aka Mountweazels, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Legend of Andre the Giant (Encore)
On May 19, 1946, André René Roussimoff was born into the world in Coulommiers, France. At birth, he weighed 13 pounds or 6 kilograms...and from there, he only got bigger.
He eventually topped out at 7 feet, four inches tall, weighed 520 pounds, and became a worldwide phenomenon as a professional wrestler and actor.
He is one of the few humans to whom the adjective “legendary” can truly be ascribed. Today people still speak of his incredible feats in awe.

Year One
I am speaking these words in the year 2021. You might be listening to them in a different year, but whatever year you happen to be in right now, it will be a year using the same number convention for years that we do now.
But why did we start counting years at year 1? What did they do before that? Who picked year 1 and why? Why isn’t there a year zero? And what is the deal with AD and CE?
Learn more about why we count years the way we do on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
