In the Pacific Theater in World War II, the leader of the combined Japanese fleet was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. 
Yamamoto was villanized as the arch-enemy of the American forces in the Pacific, and to be fair, he was their enemy. 
But there is actually much more to the story. Yamamoto was the loudest voice against war with the United States and was one of the only officials in the Japanese leadership who spent time in the United States and understood it. 
Learn more about Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, his rise and tragic end on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

There was no product more important to the economy of the ancient world than silk. 
Silk was transported thousands of miles to be purchased by people so far away from its source that they had no clue where it came from. 
The source of silk, however, was China, and for centuries, they had a monopoly, which brought them tremendous wealth. 
That was until they didn’t. 
Learn more about how the secret to silk was smuggled out of China, and the silk monopoly was broken on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Smuggling Silk Out of China (Encore)

When the United States entered the Civil War, the Union needed a plan for conducting the war. 
Its senior military commander, General Windfield Scott, devised a strategy that would play to the Union's strengths and exploit the Confederacy's weaknesses. He hoped that it would bring about a swift end to the war and minimize the loss of human life. 
The plan didn’t bring about a swift end to the war, but it did play an instrumental role in the conflict. 
Learn more about the Anaconda Plan and the Union’s grand strategy for defeating the Confederacy on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Anaconda Plan

Psychologists have identified hundreds of different psychological disorders and conditions. 
Some of them are rather common conditions that affect large segments of the population at one time or another. Others are quite rare and only come up in certain circumstances or even in certain places. 
Within that, there is a rare subset of psychological conditions that only tend to appear in certain cities, or were named after cities where first appeared. 
Learn more about psychological syndromes that are named after cities on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

City Syndromes

Sometime around 3,200 years ago, a new civilization became ascendent on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. 
This group wasn’t like the Empires that surrounded them. They weren’t focused so much on land acquisition and conquest so much as they were focused on commerce and trade. 
For centuries they ruled over trade and commerce in the Mediterranean until they finally succumbed to their more powerful neighbors.
Learn more about the Phoenician Civilization and what set them apart from other ancient civilizations on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Phoenician Civilization (Encore)

During the Second World War, the United States established the highly secret Manhattan Project to develop an atomic bomb based on nuclear fission.
While the Manhattan Project was ultimately successful, some in the program were thinking bigger. They felt that the explosion from an uncontrolled fission reaction could be used to create an even larger explosion using nuclear fusion. 
One man, in particular, felt that such a device was necessary and spearheaded the efforts after the war to develop a fusion-based hydrogen bomb.
Learn more about Edward Teller, the father of the hydrogen bomb, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
