When Napoleon Bonaparte conquered much of Europe in the early 19th century, he didn’t create a monolithic empire that was centrally run out of Paris.


Well, he sort of did, but at least on paper, he didn’t. Rather, what he did was set up his family members as monarchs to rule in his place. 


One of those family members who was set up as king ended up moving to New Jersey.


Learn more about Joseph Boneparte, the King of New Jersey, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Russia’s War on Ukraine

Ukraine is now fighting off the biggest European attack since WWII. Russia has invaded the Democratic country with missiles, air raids, tanks, and troops. Ukraine's leader has called on everyone to fight back, turning civilians into soldiers.

To help us better understand this conflict and how it impacts the rest of the world, we are speaking with Dr. Fred Kagan. 

He's a scholar and the director of the Critical Threats Projects at the nonpartisan think tank American Enterprise Institute. He has won the prestigious Medal for Distinguished Public Service from the U.S. Defense Department. And, his expertise dates back more than 30 years, from when he got his Ph.D. in Russian and Soviet military history at Yale University.

We talked to him about Russia's invasion strategy, the possible damage to the Ukrainian people, and whether he thinks Russia will pose an even bigger threat to the rest of Europe.

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - And the Nominee Is … Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson

As President Joe Biden announces his pick to replace Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court, Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Olivia Warren, a former clerk of nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Slate’s own Mark Joseph Stern to discuss Judge Jackson’s character, her qualifications, and the qualities she’ll bring to the highest court in the land if confirmed. 


In our Slate Plus segment, members will hear more from Mark and Dahlia on the other big news of the week: the Supreme Court’s decision to take up a First Amendment case next term that could have sweeping implications for LGBTQ people—and for a lot of other folks besides. They also dig into Florida’s deeply disturbing “don’t say gay” legislation and Texas’ new vigilante directive targeting trans youth and their loved ones.

Consider This from NPR - Ketanji Brown Jackson Is The First Black Woman Nominated To The Supreme Court

Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court fulfills a promise President Biden made while running for office: to nominate the first Black woman for the highest court. Critics said he was prioritizing identity over qualifications, but many have praised Jackson for being well equipped for what could be a historic appointment.

Tomiko Brown-Nagin, dean of the Harvard Radcliffe Institute, wrote a book about the first Black woman to ever become a federal judge, Constance Baker Motley. She explains how that, and much more, paved the way for this nomination.

And NPR correspondent Nina Totenberg reports on Jackson's career and her path to the president's top pick.

CrowdScience - How did we discover fire?

Controlling fire was a turning point in the development of human civilisation. But how did fire become part of the human toolkit? It's a question that has got Crowdscience listener Joseph wondering. He wants to know how humans first made fire and how that knowledge spread around the world, eventually developing into our industrial civilisations today.

Archaeologists have many different ideas and theories about this. Did humans learn the skill millions of years ago, and carry it with them as they migrated out of what is now Africa? Or was it a skill developed much later, after different groups had settled in different locations? Did people share the skill with each other or did different groups of people discover it individually?

Marnie Chesterton speaks to experts to try to piece together the archaeological clues to discover what kindled humankind's relationship with fire and flame. She hears about the early evidence of fire from Anand Jagatia, who visits Wonderwerk Cave in South Africa, and she speaks to an archaeologist who has found remains of burned flint suggesting campfire locations dating back hundreds of thousands of years in Israel. Marnie also tries her hand at making fire, Neanderthal style.
