Oprahdemics - Emergency Podcast: Oprah and Viola

As she does from time to time, Oprah has produced a high-profile interview special — this time with actress Viola Davis, which just dropped as a special on Netflix.

Kellie and Leah watched it and immediately shared their thoughts, why Oprah chose Viola as her latest interview subject, and what these two powerful women mean for the culture today.

Even if you haven’t watch the special, join us as we talk about Oprah and Viola!

We’ll be back on Wednesday with another fresh episode.

--------------------------------

Prior to the 19th century, capturing images required the talent of an artist and a whole lot of time. 


The transition from capturing images as an art to that of a science took multiple innovations and discoveries. Those innovations never really stopped as images went from being captured physically to being captured digitally.


Learn more about the history and evolution of cameras and photography, and how went from the first cameras to the camera in your smartphone, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - For Earth Day, two books rethink how we talk about environmental crises

Today is Earth Day, a good occasion as any to reflect on the emergencies the planet currently faces. First, Harriet A. Washington, author of A Terrible Thing to Waste: Environmental Racism and Its Assault on the American Mind, talks to NPR's Sarah McCammon about the long-term damage environmental issues can have on brain development—particularly for people of color. Next, the author David Wallace-Wells talks to NPR's Rachel Martin about his book The Uninhabitable Earth, which is a lot more hopeful than the title might suggest. He runs through the worst-case scenarios climate change could wreak, and why every effort we make against further global warming matters.

Curious City - The Fight For Disability Rights In Chicago

Sometimes, when Mike Ervin sees other wheelchair users about to board the bus or enter a train station in Chicago, he wants to catch up to them and say, “You’re welcome”. Because 30 years ago, much of the accessibility that people with disabilities encounter in public transportation today — lifts on buses, elevators at train train stations — didn’t exist. There were also no curb ramps, and buses would drive right by people in wheelchairs without stopping. But Mike Ervin, who has used a wheelchair all his life, fought to change all that. In this week’s episode we look at the history of the fight for disability rights in Chicago.

NPR's Book of the Day - Humor, horror and social commentary blend in Percival Everett’s detective novel

Percival Everett's page-turning new detective novel is at once gruesome and screamingly funny. A racial allegory rooted in southern history, the book features two big-city special detectives with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation who are sent to investigate a small town crime. The murders are hideous in detail, the language is rough, there are racial epithets of all kinds, and somehow the politically incendiary humor is real. Everett talks with NPR's Scott Simon about how — and why — he blended these styles.
