Everything Everywhere Daily - Philippe Petit and the World’s Greatest Tightrope Walk (Encore)

On the morning of August 7, 1974, the people of New York City woke up to witness one of the most incredible sights that the city had ever seen. 

Between the two towers of the New York World Trade Center, 1,350 feet off of the ground, was a man who was waking on a wire.

It was audacious. It was dangerous. It was also totally illegal.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Hindenburg Disaster

In the 1920s and 1930s, one of the most cutting-edge and exciting forms of transportation was the zeppelin. 

Germany’s Luftschiffbau Zeppelin Company created lighter-than-air airships that transported passengers millions of miles worldwide. 

This new form of transportation which seemed to be the future, came to a sudden and dramatic end on one horrific day in 1937 in New Jersey. 

Learn more about the Hindenburg Disaster, its cause, and its aftermath on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Two YA books spark conversation about race and racial justice activism in youth

Today, YA adult novels – both of which have faced bans from schools and libraries – focus on conversations with kids regarding race and police brutality. First, Angie Thomas talks about The Hate You Give, in which an unarmed black teenager is killed by a police officer. Thomas reflects on victims of racial injustice in this discussion. Then, we hear from Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely about All American Boys, in which a white teen witnesses his black friend be brutalized by a cop. The two authors discuss in an interview with Karen Grigsby Bates the importance of being proactive in racial justice.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Shakespeare’s English

English is a very strange language. It is a Germanic language where half of the words come from a Romance language.

We have a host of words that make absolutely no sense in terms of spelling or pronunciation. 

Perhaps strangest of all, some of the greatest literary works in the English language are filled with words that aren’t even in the language anymore. 

Learn more about the English of Shakespeare and how our language has changed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Daughter of Auschwitz’ tells the harrowing story of a child Holocaust survivor

Tova Friedman says she's telling her story of having survived the Holocaust in her memoir, Daughter of Auschwitz, to honor the victims' memories. In a profound conversation with Scott Simon, she recalls her childhood – from her tiny apartment in the Jewish ghetto to the crematorium in the concentration camp – and grapples with how such atrocities could have even happened.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Doolittle Raid

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the American military was on the defensive. They had been hit hard, and it would be months before they could regroup and strike back.

However, one American general had an idea. He hatched a plan where the Americans could strike back immediately to let the Japanese know that they were vulnerable. 

It was a risky one-way mission unlike any in the history of warfare.

Learn more about the Doolittle Raid on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
