The Golden Screen, the new book by Jeff Yang, offers a comprehensive guide to some of the most significant films for Asian American representation, including commentary by industry trailblazers like Daniel Dae Kim, Janet Yang and Simu Liu. In today's episode, Yang and book contributor Preeti Chhibber speak with NPR's Ailsa Chang about how Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Bollywood and kung fu movies shaped their identities growing up. They also get to talking about some of the harmful stereotypes we still see on screen today, and why maybe mediocrity isn't such a bad thing.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Orbital’ captures one day in the life of six astronauts
Author Samantha Harvey tells NPR's Ari Shapiro that she was fascinated by the quotes and insight of astronauts as a child. Her new novel, Orbital, turns that interest into a careful contemplation of Earth, space and humanity — it follows six people on a mission to orbit around our planet for 16 sunrises and sunsets. Harvey and Shapiro discuss the kind of poetry that emerged from imagining the daily routines of cosmonauts, so far up above, together and alone at once.

NPR's Book of the Day - Álvaro Enrigue’s new novel reimagines Hernán Cortés’ and Moctezuma’s empires
You Dreamed of Empires sets the scene for a violent historical encounter: the war between the Spanish and Aztec empires. But in a fictionalization of Hernán Cortés' arrival in the city of Tenochtitlan in 1519, author Álvaro Enrigue challenges ideas about colonialism, revolution and influential rulers. In today's episode, he speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about finding humor and humanity in the men he writes about — sometimes laughing about, but not with, the powerful ones.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Swiss Mercenaries (Encore)
When most people think of Switzerland, they think of a small country embedded in the Alps that makes fine chocolates and is the home of the cuckoo clock.
They have been neutral in European conflicts for almost 500 years, and they serve as the headquarters for several international organizations.
Yet, it was the Swiss who, during the Renaissance, were some of the most feared and in-demand mercenary fighters in Europe.
Learn more about Swiss mercenaries and how they instilled fear into Europeans on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Alternative Forms of Space Flight
Every single rocket that has ever been launched into space has been a rocket that burned some sort of fuel.
These chemical fuel rockets have worked well for making the short trip to orbit. Beyond that point, however, they are not necessarily the best option for space travel.
There are a host of proposed methods for space travel that don’t involve rockets, some of which have already been tested.
Learn more about alternative forms of space flight and the possible future of space exploration on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
