Everything Everywhere Daily - Tokyo Rose & Axis Sally (Encore)

During World War II, allied soldiers would often spend their time listening to the radio. They could, at least for a little while, be transported back home by listening to popular music with the soothing sounds of a female radio host with a flawless American accent.

Along with the music, the troops would also get a healthy dose of enemy propaganda. 

Learn more about Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally, how they got stuck doing radio, and what happened to them after the war, on this Episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Gist - BEST OF THE GIST: Speaker Of The House Edition

In this installment of Best Of The Gist, we take a look at the job of Speaker of the House. On Monday, Mike opened the show, after being on vacay for a couple weeks, talking about Kevin McCarthy’s elegant, seamless rise to the speakership, so we’re listening to that first. Then we’re digging back into The Gist archives to listen to Mike’s 2015 interview with author Harlow Giles Unger who tells us about the great compromiser of America’s formative years, former Speaker of the House Henry Clay. A contrast in courage, if you will.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara

Everything Everywhere Daily - Zeno’s Paradoxes

About 2,500 years ago, a Greek philosopher by the name of Zeno of Elea proposed several paradoxes about the natural word.

His ideas were actually really simple, but they were incredibly difficult to explain away. 

For the last two millennia, philosophers have been trying to resolve his paradoxes, and they are still trying to explain them today.

Learn more about the paradoxes of Zeon and how they can possibly be resolved on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Work Life in 2023 (with Career Contessa)

The latest data shows job growth in the U.S. is still pretty strong – with more jobs available than there are people to fill them. But there are signs changes could be on the way, like more hiring freezes, layoffs, and possibly a long-anticipated recession. In some industries, layoffs have already begun. 

How can both employees and employers prepare? Our guest today is Lauren McGoodwin. She’s the CEO of Career Contessa, a career resource that helps women build successful and fulfilling careers. She’s also the author of the best-selling career book “Power Moves” and the host of The Career Contessa Podcast.

Lauren is sharing what job seekers can do to be as competitive as possible – even those not technically looking for a new job right now – how to respond to workplace trends in the new year, including so-called "quiet hiring,” and much more!

The Gist - Iran’s Targeting Of Women

Holy Spider, a film short-listed for an Oscar, is a drama based on the true story of a serial killer who operated in Iran between 2000 and 2001. The movie was made by director Ali Abbasi, who had to leave Iran to get the film made, and it stars Zar Amir Ebrahimi, who had to flee Iran after being subject to prosecution and lashing. Plus, an amazing health breakthrough that translates to millions of lives saved. Let’s pay at least as much attention to that as document storage or even cool yurts.
