SCUBA diving is a popular activity that has recreational and commercial uses. 


Most people who have never gone SCUBA diving think that it is just a matter of breathing air out of a tank when you are underwater. However, there is a lot more to it.


In fact, solving the problem of underwater breathing wasn’t solved until after humans discovered artificial flight and split the atom. 


Learn more about SCUBA diving, its history and how it works, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Moon Witch, Spider King’ takes us back into Marlon James’ fantastical world

Author Marlon James is following up Black Leopard, Red Wolf with a new fantasy novel Moon Witch, Spider King. It tells the same story as Black Leopard, Red Wolf but this time it's from the perspective of the character Sogolon as she hunts for a missing child. James is inviting the reader to question his narratives by telling the story twice but from different points of view. He told NPR's Michel Martin that the novels are non-linear in the tradition of African folklore.

NPR's Book of the Day - Writer Arthur Brooks says strivers can end up unhappier later in life

Social science writer Arthur Brooks has figured out how you, yes you, can be happy later in life. He details it all in his new book, From Strength to Strength, but the gist of it is...maybe relax a little. Brooks argues that for people who work too hard to have it all it can be very upsetting when that part of their life is over. The good news is you can start working on your future happiness now. Brooks told NPR's Mary Louise Kelly you have to do the work when you're younger: You can't "leave your happiness up to chance."

During the second world war, one of the biggest efforts of the war was the Manhattan Project: the secret American program to create an atomic bomb. 

The scientists and staff of the Manhattan Project were in a race to beat Nazi Germany to be the first country to build the A-bomb. When Germany surrendered in May 1945, and Americans detonated the first device in July, they had seemingly won the race.

But was it in fact a race at all? How close were the Nazis to actually building an atom bomb? 

Learn more about the Nazi nuclear program on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Located near the city of Masvingo in Central Zimbabwe are the ruins of one of the greatest civilizations of the Middle Ages. 


When European explorers first discovered the ruins, they simply couldn’t believe that it was built by native Africans. 


Subsequent archeological investigations show not just that they were wrong, but that the civilization which was there had contact with some of the furthest reaches of the known world. 


Learn more about Great Zimbabwe, one of Africa’s greatest empires, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
