I like the idea of learning something new every day.

I just don't always have an hour to sit down and do it.

That's why I like Everything Everywhere daily.

Each episode is about 10 minutes, and you walk away knowing something you didn't before.

It covers everything from history and science to geography and really interesting people, so it never feels repetitive.

They're short, but they stick with you.

And they're the kind of thing you end up bringing up later in conversation.

It's one of the most popular daily education podcasts out there, and it's easy to see why.

You can listen in the car while you're making dinner or when you want a small, satisfying dose of curiosity.

Learn something new every single day with Everything Everywhere Daily.

Find it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

When I started building this show and my shop, it really felt like I had to figure everything out on my own.
