In the late 19th century, bananas, a fruit that had been popular for thousands of years suddenly became a mass-market sensation.

However, just a few decades after it was popularized, the industry had to completely change what was grown due to a pestilence. 

As a result, the bananas that most people eat today are very different than the bananas that everyone ate before the second world war.

Learn more about bananas, and why your grandparents didn’t eat the same kind, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Jhumpa Lahiri is best known for her fictional stories about immigration; novels that usually explore themes that arise from living in between two worlds. In her new book of essays, Translating Myself and Others, Lahiri writes about the ways in which she herself has lived between worlds, and the other kind of writing she does: translation. In an interview with All Things Considered, Lahiri spoke to Mary Louise Kelly about how her relationship to language changed with translation and how it ultimately made her a better writer.
