Juneteenth honors and celebrates the emancipation of slaves in the United States, but why do we celebrate it on this day, and how did this holiday come about? 

When exactly did slavery end and how do other countries celebrate the abolition of slavery?

When one thinks of the history of North America, it often invokes images of native Americans and cowboys riding on horseback. 

However, horses weren’t in the Westen Hemisphere when Europeans arrived. There was a time when if native people had to move from one place to another, they had to do so on foot. 

But, while that is true, the truth is more complex because if you go back far enough, there was a time when horses were in North America. 

Learn more about the complicated history of horses in North America, and how they unleashed a revolution, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Situated in the north of the nation of Chile lies one of the most extreme environments on Planet Earth. The Atacama Desert. 

What makes the Atacama Desert so unique isn’t its size or its temperature, it is the amount of precipitation it gets….or rather the lack thereof. 

It is precipitation that defines what a desert is, and by that logic, the Atacama is the most desert-y of all the deserts. 

Learn more about the Atacama Desert and what makes it so different and special, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Father's Day is this Sunday, giving us a good opportunity to reflect not only the art of fatherhood but also on the struggles that come after dads leave us. First, Helen McDonald talks to Robin Young on Here and Now about grieving her father's death by training a hawk – and finding her path again after grief. Then, Keggie Carew discusses her memoir Dadland, which talks about her relationship with her father, his fascinating stories from his time as a spy, and his struggle with dementia. In a way, these two nostalgic interviews are an invitation to give fathers their due, especially when they're still around.

Over 2,000 times a year, all over the world, a meteorological phenomenon strikes the Earth with devastating consequences. 

They can strike without warning and the worst ones have killed hundreds of people. 

Yet, the secrets to how the work wasn’t understood until one determined man figured out their secrets.

Learn more about tornadoes, how they work and just how deadly they can be, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

You've probably seen it: Reese Witherspoon playing ambitious, throat-cutting Tracy Flick in the 1999 movie Election. It's the film adaptation of Tom Perrotta's novel of the same name. Now, Perrotta has written a sequel called Tracy Flick Can't Win. In it, we meet Tracy Flick in middle age and just a tad bit away from accomplishing her high school dreams of becoming president of the United States. In an interview with All Things Considered, Perrotta told Sascha Pfiffer that he wanted to revisit this character's story to reflect on ambition, success, and the softening that happens in middle age.
