Everything Everywhere Daily - Carthago Delenda Est: The Third Punic War

In 201 BC, the Romans were victorious over their archrivals, the city-state of Carthage, in the Second Punic War. 

This was was the closest which Rome had ever come to defeat and almost spelled the end of the republic. 

50 years later, some Romans felt that they left the job unfinished. In fact, some Romans could talk about nothing else. 

Learn more about the Third Punic War and the destruction of Carthage on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Do Holiday Shopping Now? Maybe. Here’s Why.

Have you started your holiday shopping yet? We’re not even into October but major retailers have reason to offer big discounts earlier than ever. Some experts say: buy now to save but some also caution about a couple of things to keep in mind before you do.

Today’s guests are helping to explain it all – from why retailers are forced to offer promotions so early this year, to what products are best to buy now, and which you might want to wait on.

First up, smart shopping expert Trae Bodge comes back on the show to break it down. Then we’ll hear from analyst Mickey Chadha, a vice president and senior credit officer at Moody’s Investors Service, who specializes in the retail industry.

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - Lady Justice and Charlottesville Nazis

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Roberta Kaplan, who along with co-counsel Karen Dunn brought a successful civil suit against twenty-four neo-Nazi and white supremacist leaders responsible for organizing the racial- and religious-based violence in Charlottesville in August 2017. They discuss how the KKK Act of 1871 applied to discord channels and now January 6th defendants. And they explore the complicated relationship women find themselves in with the law in this moment, as defenders of rights but also as constitutional afterthoughts. Dahlia Lithwick’s new book is Lady Justice: Women, the Law and the Battle to Save America.

Consider This from NPR - Strippers In The U.S. Want Better Work Conditions. Some Are Trying to Unionize

For the past six months, dancers at the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar in Los Angeles have been striking almost every weekend.

This is because the strippers say they've faced unsafe working conditions, including assault and harassment from customers.

After the dancers say they were unable to meet with club managers to discuss their demands and were not allowed to work, they launched an effort to form a union.

This episode also features reporting from NPR's Brianna Scott and KCRW's Robin Estrin.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
