Most people think that the second world war started in September of 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. 

However, that was only the beginning of the European war. 

The conflict in Asia, however, actually began much earlier. What both the European and Asian theaters have in common is they started with an invasion by a belligerent power which was done under false pretenses. 

Learn more about the Mukden Incident, and how it began the road to the second world war, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

After getting his Ph.D., writer Jonathan Malesic struck out in this search for an academic job, so he took a position as a parking attendant across the street from his alma mater. He's had a myriad of jobs since then but Malesic told NPR's Michel Martin that he's never been happier because he was able to maintain such a stark work-life balance. Malesic's new book, The End of Burnout: Why Work Drains Us and How to Build Better Lives, is about how to maintain that balance in any job. And he reminds us that even your dream job is still just a job.

They are so ubiquitous that most people don’t even realize that they have an origin. They are so commonly used that some of you might have them in your hands right now. 

Yet, the objects we use to eat do have very definite histories.  

Moreover, around the world, we often use very different objects to consume our food, and sometimes we use the exact same objects in very different ways.

Learn more about eating utensils, how they are developed and how they are used in different cultures, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

There is an old saying that da Nile isn’t just a river in Egypt. That is true. It is also a river in Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Uganda. 

The Nile is the longest river in the world, yet it is one of the smallest major rivers in the world. 

Historically, some of the world’s greatest civilizations have depended on it, and today it is still a source of conflict between countries that depend on it for water and power. 

Learn more about the Nile River and how its geography has and continues to shape history, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Two collections of short stories, both alike in playfulness in our fair podcast. The first is with Gwen Kirby whose debut collection of short stories is called, hilariously, Shit Cassandra Saw. It ranges from radioactive cockroaches to tapdancing Twizzlers. Kirby told NPR's Mary Louise Kelly that writing this book was a cathartic experience. The second interview is with Helen Oyeyemi about her collection of short stories, What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours. The stories are fairy tales, though not traditional ones. Oyeyemi told NPR's Steve Inskeep that she likes fairy tales because they endure.
