In 1816, the world experienced something that it had never seen before. All over the Northern Hemisphere in Europe, Asia, and North America, summer never came.

…or at least it didn’t in any way which it did before. 

It caused chaos and misery all around the world. 

Learn more about 1816, the year without a summer, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Young adult author Emiko Jean is out with her first book for adults – Mika in Real Life. In this episode, we hear Jean in conversation with WBUR's Celeste Headlee about the book, in which a teen girl – Penny – tries to connect with her birth mother Mika. Jean says that just as Penny and Mika struggle to figure out who they are, much of the book mirrors the author's own identity struggle as a Japanese-American woman.

For thousands of years, humans knew that certain foods could treat certain ailments. However, why or how the foods did this was totally unknown. 

It wasn’t until the early 20th century that researchers discovered exactly what chemicals were in food that prevented and cured many diseases. 

Today, that knowledge has led to an entire industry dedicated to providing and supplementing nutrients. 

Learn more about vitamins, what they are, how they were discovered, and what happens if you lack them in your diet on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In this episode, WBUR's Robin Young talks with author Andrew Sean Greer about his new novel Less is Lost, the sequel to his Pulitzer Prize-winning Less. This time, Greer's protagonist Arthur Less takes a tour of America in a van, and in the process learns about what it means to be an author today. Less is disappointed by how things are going, but doesn't realize how good things actually are for him. Greer says that he almost didn't write a second book, but by satirizing the literary crowd, he saw the importance of critiquing himself.

Centuries ago, if you were a ruler, you needed to protect yourself and your realm. You’d obviously need an army and soldiers, but you would also need some sort of defensive fortification to protect yourself from attack. 

The solution to this problem in the middle ages was the development of massive structures which could resist direct attack and often served as a seat of administration for a region. 

Over the centuries, the thought and engineering which went into these structures became one of the era's highlights. 

Learn more about medieval castles and fortifications and how and why they were built on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In her memoir Making a Scene, actress Constance Wu writes about the sexual harassment and abuse she faced on her breakout show Fresh off the Boat, and why she hesitated to speak out at first. She tells WBUR's Scott Tong that "trauma and feelings don't go away simply because you will them to." And when she finally spoke up about that trauma on social media, she received a wave of online hate. A warning that this episode – and the book – includes descriptions of assault and a suicide attempt.
