Everything Everywhere Daily - The Travels of Ibn Battuta (Encore)
Prior to the modern era, very few people traveled anywhere. It was rare for anyone to travel more than about 20 miles from where they were born.
However, there were a few people who managed to travel quite extensively. In particular, there was one man in the 14th century who might have traveled more than any other person up to that point in history. In fact, he was better traveled than even more people alive today.
Learn more about Ibn Battuta and his extensive journeys around the known world, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Disconnect: Power, Politics and the Texas Blackout - Coming Soon: Season Two
In February 2021, days-long blackouts in Texas left millions of people shivering in the dark. Hundreds died. And it exposed the failures of the nation’s only independent power grid.
More than a year later, the lights have stayed on, but problems persist. So how has the Texas grid changed? And how has it changed how people think about this infrastructure that used to be invisible to them?
KUT/KUTX Studios explores those questions in season two of The Disconnect: Power, Politics and the Texas Blackout.
Coming in August 2022.
Everything Everywhere Daily - Greenland
It is the world’s largest island, has the closest point of land to the North Pole, and is the least densely populated political territory on the planet.

Beneath that ice might just lie the largest collection of untapped natural resources on Earth.
Learn more about Greenland, the island, and the people who live there on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Two Indigenous authors on the legacy of a shared, painful history
Today, two books from indigenous authors who make a similar, wry argument: it's a miracle there are any Indigenous people in the Americas alive at all. First, Stephen Graham Jones talks about his horror novel The Only Good Indians, a reworking of an old, hostile phrase attributed to Theodore Roosevelt; plus the literary reasons why he chose to make it a horror story. Then, author Lisa Bird-Wilson talks about how her personal experience influenced her new book, Probably Ruby, a novel that follows the legacy of forced Indigenous adoption and residential schools in Canada.
Everything Everywhere Daily - Bonnie and Clyde
In January of 1930, a 21-year-old by the name of Clyde Barrow met a 19-year-old by the name of Bonnie Parker.

That was until it suddenly came to an incredibly violent end.
Learn more about Bonnie and Clyde and the truth behind the legend on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Land of the Giants - “Facebook Gets A Facelift”
Long before Mark Zuckerberg renamed Facebook Meta and made an unprecedented pivot into the metaverse, he invented a feature that turned Facebook into a social network behemoth. The News Feed, which put your friends’ status updates onto your homepage, changed the way we interact online. It was a strong statement of Zuckerberg’s values: that connecting, and sharing, at scale would be de-facto good for the world. It was also his first public controversy.

In celebration of the new U.S. poet laureate this year, Ada Limón, today's episode revisits another poet laureate's conversation with Michel Martin about how poetry has been used to deal with pain and healing.
