Everything Everywhere Daily - John Snow and the Broad Street Cholera Outbreak of 1854

In 1854 an unusually severe outbreak of cholera occurred in London. 

While cholera was not an uncommon disease, physicians at the time weren’t sure what caused it. 

This time, one doctor took a completely different approach, stopping the epidemic and ushering in a new field of medicine.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - TBD | Are You Ready to Be Composted When You Die?

The idea of composting a human body may seem unsettling—or even gross—and it runs counter to the normal American funeral rites of embalming and internment, which preserve the body. But advocates say it’s a greener and more peaceful way to return our bodies to the Earth. 

Guest: Eleanor Cummins, science journalist

Consider This from NPR - What Does a Record Number of Black Candidates Really Mean for Republicans?

In a party not known for ethnic diversity, 22 Black candidates are running for Republican House seats this year. And for the first time, we could see two Black Republican senators serving simultaneously. The historically diverse lineup also includes Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans on Republican tickets for the midterms.

While some Republican see a shift toward Ronald Regan's vision of the party as an inclusive "Big Tent''. But others say that the party's problematic record on race continues to keep Black voters away - even those who consider themselves conservative.

Host Michel Martin talks to Theodore Johnson, a researcher, and writer whose work focuses on how race plays out in politics and policy. Johnson writes a column for the center-right news and opinion site, The Bulwark.

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

This episode was produced by Tyler Bartlam. It was edited by Jeanette Woods. Our executive producer is Natalie Winston.

Headlines From The Times - Sheriff Villanueva’s unlikely rise to power

There’s a lot to unpack when it comes to Alex Villanueva’s path to becoming the top cop in Los Angeles County. And that’s exactly what LAist Studios and KPCC do in a new five-part podcast series hosted by Frank Stoltze. Today, we play episode 1 of “Imperfect Paradise: Sheriff.”

The show begins with a scene of a very strange press conference: Villanueva is threatening to open a criminal investigation into L.A. Times reporter Alene Tchekmedyian and Stoltze questions the sheriff about it. From there, Stoltze reflects on his time covering policing in L.A. County and explains how Villanueva is the product of a department that has been riddled with scandals for decades: racial profiling, jail violence and deputy gangs.

Host: Frank Stoltze
