Between the Black and the Caspian Seas lies one of the most complicated places on Earth.
Towering mountains, ancient kingdoms, dozens of languages, competing empires, and conflicts that still shape headlines today all meet in a region many people know only by name: the Caucasus.
It is a place where Europe and Asia meet, where geography has created both isolation and diversity, and where ancient history remains relevant today.
Learn more about the Caucasus and why it has mattered for thousands of years, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
22/04/2026 | 14 min
On the night of July 21, 356 BC, the sky over the city of Ephesus glowed with the flames of one of the most famous fires in World History.
On the same day as Alexander the Great’s birth, the Temple of Artemis, a Wonder of the Ancient World, was reduced to rubble by fire.
The destruction was not the result of an encroaching army or a dispute between Empires; it was history’s most famous act of arson, executed by a lonely fame seeker named Herostratus.
Learn more about the Temple of Artemis, which lived a life of glory, mystery, resurrection, and destruction on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Just a few notes can provide a very specific cultural reference.Learn more about representative riffs, what they are, and how they came to be on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
