On January 23, 1968, the USS Pueblo, a US Navy intelligence-gathering ship was on a routine surveillance mission in international waters off of the coast of North Korea. 

While on surveillance duty, it was intercepted by North Korean patrol boats.

Shots were fired, the crew was captured, and it set off one of the biggest international incidents of the Cold War. 

Learn more about the Pueblo incident, how and why it happened, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

At the center of author Naima Coster's novel What's Mine & Yours are two struggling mothers. Jade is a Black single mother who is trying to provide a better life for her son, and Lacey May is a white mother who is trying to give her daughters the life she never had. Their stories will intertwine over decades, starting with when Lacey May opposes the integration of her daughters' school – the same school Jade is trying to get her son into. Coster told NPR's Audie Cornish that fiction gives us a window into other people's lives but that does not mean we have to condone their actions.

History is full of battles and conflicts. Most of them are forgotten over time as they don’t really impact history. Whether one king or another wins a battle usually doesn’t matter in the big scheme of things.

However, there are moments that truly change world history. When civilizations clash and the outcome can affect the world for centuries. 

Such a moment occurred on May 29, 1453.

Learn more about the Fall of Constantinople and what it meant to history, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Somali British poet Warsan Shire has had many projects, including running a popular Tumblr page and collaborating with Beyoncé. Now, she is out with a new collection of poems called Bless The Daughter Raised By A Voice In Her Head. That title is an ode to how she was raised, having to take on a lot of responsibility from a young age. But Shire told NPR's Sarah McCammon that it's also an ode to the children who are able to turn those voices into their friends instead of struggling with them as she has.
