In 1965, the world’s first full enclosed sports facility, the Houston Astrodome, was opened to the public. The Astrodome itself was a marvel of engineering, but because it was enclosed, the grass that was initially planted soon died. It was replaced with artificial grass, which was basically a synthetic carpet that looked like grass but played and behaved totally differently. Today, the next generations of that artificial grass can be found in stadiums all over the world.Learn more about artificial turf, how it was created and improved over time on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.Sponsors Mint Mobile Cut your wireless bill to 15 bucks a month at mintmobile.com/eed Quince Go to quince.com/daily for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order!

After the First World War in France, many generals thought that the end of the war was really just a pause before another war began. They wanted to make sure that the next time war broke out with Germany, they were ready and could never be invaded again. To that end, they created a series of defensive fortifications they believed to be impregnable. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work. Learn more about the Maginot Line, why it was built, and why it failed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.Sponsors Mint Mobile Cut your wireless bill to 15 bucks a month at mintmobile.com/eed Quince Go to quince.com/daily for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order!

Before the US Civil War, a group of abolitionists didn’t just sit around passively to wait for the end of slavery to arrive. They took matters into their own hands. They set up a clandestine network that operated over multiple states to bring escaped slaves to freedom. Their network wasn’t a top-down organization, which centrally organized everything. Rather, it was one of the earliest examples of a decentralized network where the members didn’t even know who else was involved. Learn more about the Underground Railroad and how it brought thousands of people to freedom on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.Sponsors Mint Mobile Cut your wireless bill to 15 bucks a month at mintmobile.com/eed Quince Go to quince.com/daily for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order!
