Everything Everywhere Daily - Confusing Country Names

Subscribe to the podcast!

Countries, like people, have names. Sometimes those names are long and they have a shorter version of it for common use. 


There are some countries, however, that often have multiple names, and the names can be radically different from each other. They might want everyone to call it by one name, or by a certain name in a certain language, but no one does. 


Why do some countries have multiple names, and does it really make a difference? 


Learn more about countries with confusing or multiple names on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Gulbahar Haitiwaji and Desmond Shum get personal about the reach of China’s power

Today we look at the power of the Chinese government. The first book, How I Survived A Chinese Reeducation Camp, is by Gulbahar Haitiwaji, a Uyghur woman who spent years in a detention camp. It's a stark account of human rights atrocities. Haitiwaji told NPR's Scott Simon she feels lucky because millions of people are still suffering. Next is an interview with Chinese businessman Desmond Shum about his book Red Roulette. It's the story of his wife's disappearance and then reappearance. Shum told NPR's Steve Inskeep that when she resurfaced he felt like he was "negotiating with her kidnapper."

Lost Debate - Ep 28 | Ukraine Update, Psychedelics, Putin’s Media Spin, Homeschooling

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been met with an avalanche of Western economic sanctions. Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start off by going through the laundry list of financial measures before turning to Russia’s false narrative of the invasion, censorship of war-related content on TikTok, and non-white refugees facing racism as they flee the country. Homeschooling is sharply rising across America. We discuss why that might be and the pro’s and con’s of educating your children at home. Finally, we take a trip out west to talk about new research in Utah looking into how psychedelic drugs could help treat mental health conditions.

Bay Curious - The Sordid Saga of San Francisco’s Trash Cans

Bay Curious listener Matt Leonard asked: "What's the deal with San Francisco's trash cans?

On the upside, we'll get to know the new trash can prototypes.
