Everything Everywhere Daily - NASCAR

The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, better known as NASCAR, has become one of the most recognizable and uniquely American forms of motorsport. 

It emerged from the traditions of the rural South, shaped by the ingenuity of moonshine runners and the broader story of the American car. 

Over time, the sport transformed into a highly sophisticated enterprise defined by advanced engineering, stringent safety standards, and massive commercial investment. 

Learn more about NASCAR, its origins, and its development over the years on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Abby Phillip’s ‘A Dream Deferred’ chronicles Jesse Jackson’s rise to political esteem

Rev. Jesse Jackson is well-known as an icon of the American Civil Rights Movement, a protégé of Martin Luther King Jr., and a steadfast activist — but he has quite a past in electoral politics, too. A Dream Deferred charts Jackson’s rise to political prominence during his 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns, as the first major Black candidate for U.S. president. In today’s episode, author and CNN anchor Abby Phillip talks with NPR’s Ayesha Rascoe about her debut biography, and how Jackson himself approached politics and activism with separate mindsets.

60 Songs That Explain the '90s - “Hallelujah” — Jeff Buckley

Today, Rob returns with a gift in time for the holidays, breaking down what many would call the voice of an angel. He takes us back to the ’90s, when one of the most covered songs on the planet was merely a forgotten, horny track from Leonard Cohen’s catalog. While many artists cover songs in an attempt to replicate the original (or just sing it more loudly), Rob explains how Jeff Buckley covered the song and made it new. Later, Rob is joined by documentary filmmaker Amy J. Berg to discuss her new project ‘It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley.’ She describes the intimate moments of Buckley’s mother she captured, how Buckley’s father affected his relationship with success and music, and the difficulties of what to do with an artist’s unfinished discography posthumously.

Producers: Justin Sayles, Chris Sutton, and Olivia Crerie

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Devil Is a Southpaw’ is a story within a story — or so its narrator says

Are all unreliable narrators self-aware? The answer might depend on the novel, but in Brandon Hobson’s The Devil Is a Southpaw, our primary narrator, Milton (a writer and artist) uses his prose to sew complexity and confusion into the narrative itself. In today’s episode, Hobson speaks with NPR’s Scott Simon about his newest novel, and the journey of crafting a story about two ex-convicts bound together through jealousy and the mutual dream of artistic success.
