Everything Everywhere Daily - Genie the Feral Child (Encore)

In October 1970, a blind woman accidentally entered a Los Angeles County welfare office with a child in tow.
The staff in the office immediately noticed the odd girl with the woman. She walked funny, was emaciated, drooling, didn’t make a sound, and when asked, the woman mentioned that the girl was 13.
The staff thought she was seven.
This began one of the saddest cases of child welfare in history, and one which fascinated researchers for years.

NPR's Book of the Day - Former California prosecutor details how she helped take down sex trafficking site
Maggy Krell is a former California prosecutor who was on the team that took down the infamous sex trafficking site Blackpage back in 2018. Now, she's out with a new book about how they were able to get the website shuttered – and the challenges the team on the case now faces going forward. Reflecting on her time as a prosecutor, Krell told Morning Edition's Rachel Martin that this is the case she's proud of: "This was a case that shifted the national narrative and certainly sent a message to survivors that this shouldn't be normalized, that their experiences matter."

American politics has been called a two-party system. While there are two major parties today, and those two parties have been around a long time, they weren’t always the only two parties.
In fact, there was a political party in the US that, took its name from a British political party, had four US presidents, and even held control of Congress for several years.
Today, however, they are all but unknown to most people.
Learn more about the Whig party, their rise, and fall, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Country star Merle Haggard is larger than life in ‘The Hag’
Author Marc Eliot has written a new biography of country music icon, Merle Haggard. The Hag details Haggard's quite extraordinary life; from breaking into a restaurant (that turned out to be open) and subsequent jail time to his many broken marriages and everything in between. Haggard turned his past failures into songs, writing and singing about his inner turmoil. Eliot told NPR's Steve Inskeep that he thinks the Hag deserves a little more respect: "I think if he were played on the same radio stations that, say, play Frank Sinatra ... he'd be just as accepted. I think he was that good."
