In the early 19th century, the most abundant bird in North America, and perhaps the entire world, was the passenger pigeon. An estimated three billion of them would fly in flocks so large that they could blot out the sun.
However, within a century, the entire species had gone extinct.
It was one of the fastest and most disastrous turnarounds for any species in recorded history.
Learn more about the passenger pigeon and how they went extinct on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In Endangered Maize: Industrial Agriculture and the Crisis of Extinction (U California Press, 2022), historian Helen Anne Curry investigates more than a hundred years of agriculture and conservation practices to understand the tasks that farmers and researchers have considered essential to maintaining crop diversity. Through the contours of efforts to preserve diversity in one of the world's most important crops, Curry reveals how those who sought to protect native, traditional, and heritage crops forged their methods around the expectation that social, political, and economic transformations would eliminate diverse communities and cultures. In this fascinating study of how cultural narratives shape science, Curry argues for new understandings of endangerment and alternative strategies to protect and preserve crop diversity.

Two separate presidents – and two separate allegations of mishandling classified documents. Today, we’re taking a look at the investigations into President Biden and former President Trump.
First, I’m joined by well-known criminal defense attorney Randy Zelin. He’ll compare the Biden and Trump cases from a legal perspective – what’s the same, what’s different, how prosecutors might move forward, and what role politics may play in it all.
Richard Painter, former White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, then explains what’s typically in classified documents, and why he says the system our government uses to keep track of them is seriously flawed.

Diane Foley the Founder and President of the James Foley Legacy Foundation discusses hard policy choices and the often insensitive treatment that families of captives often endure. Plus, the trend of high-profile unionization successes belies the overall trend. And we play “Who Said It: Christian Kirk or Charlie Kirk?” A game of oddness and dubious relevance.
