Sometime around eight to nine thousand years ago, ancient people in Asia Minor found a very dull grey metal that turned out to be easy to manipulate when it was heated. 
For thousands of years, it was used for a variety of purposes, including as a food additive. 
With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, even more uses were found for this unique metal. 
However, by the 20th century, scientists realized that maybe this stuff wasn’t really so good for us. 
Learn more about lead, how it has been used throughout history, and how our perception of it has changed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The month of June was originally called Iunius by the Romans. It originally had 29 days and was the fourth month of the year. 
Today, it has 30 days, and it is the sixth month of the year. 
It used to be a bad omen to be married in June, and now it is the most popular month to be married in.
However, despite all the changes in June, there is one thing that has remained constant: questions and answers.
Stay tuned for the 19th installment of Questions and Answers on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Questions and Answers: Volume 19

In August of 1964, an event occurred off the waters of North Vietnam that would have repercussions that would echo in US foreign policy for decades. 
Two alleged confrontations between US Navy vessels and North Vietnamese ships set off a chain of events that resulted in a dramatic escalation in the United States' involvement in Vietnam and a subsequent backlash that would change military policy to the present day. 
Learn more about the Gulf of Tonkin Incident and the event that began the large-scale US military presence in Vietnam on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Gulf of Tonkin Incident

One of the most iconic images of America is the cowboy. Cowboys have defined entire genres of literature and movies and are the basis for entire styles of fashion. 
But how did cowboys come about, what exactly did they do, and who exactly became cowboys? 
Perhaps most importantly, how realistic is our image of cowboys? 
Spoiler: It's not very realistic at all.
Learn more about Cowboys, how they came to be, and how realistic their portrayal in media is, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Real Story of Cowboys

In the year 79, Mount Vesuvius, a volcano located east of the modern-day city of Naples, erupted. 
Vesuvius had erupted before, but this eruption was different. It ejected an enormous amount of ash, which completely buried several towns and cities below the mountain.
Almost 2,000 years later, the largest of those cities, Pompeii, was rediscovered, and what archeologists found revolutionized our understanding of the ancient world. 
Learn more about the destruction and rediscovery of Pompeii on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Destruction and Rediscovery of Pompeii (Encore)

There are millions of different insect species in the world. All of them fill some niche in the ecosystem in which they live.
However, some species are more important than others. In particular, insect species that are members of the family Apidae, or what you probably know as bees. 
Bees are some of the most important pollinators in the world. They are responsible for a large amount of plant reproduction worldwide. 
Learn more about bees, what they are and their importance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
