Everything Everywhere Daily - Perpetual Motion
Imagine a device that could supply an unlimited amount of energy. It would solve many of the world’s problems in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, such a device is impossible to build, but that hasn’t stopped people throughout history from trying.
In fact, to this very day, people still claim that they have created perpetual motion machines, and they keep getting proven wrong.
Learn more about perpetual motion machines, or the lack thereof, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Jean D’Amérique’s novel ‘A Sun to Be Sewn’ grapples with violence in Haiti
Jean D'Amérique says he grew up in a neighborhood where "it was easier to find a gun than a book." But as he tells NPR's Ari Shapiro, falling in love with reading and writing changed the course of his life. His new novel, A Sun to Be Sewn, follows a young protagonist growing up in rough circumstances in Port au Prince: her father's a gang leader, her mother's a sex worker. But she's finding her way through poetry – and as the author explains, the medium can carry a lot of political power for people on the margins.

Crimetown - Introducing “Operation: Tradebom”
Everybody remembers the morning of September 11, 2001, when two passenger jets flew into the World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan. But the idea of toppling the towers was not new. Thirty years ago, a group of men set off a bomb in the garage beneath the North Tower, hoping it would tumble into the South Tower. At the time, this was the largest improvised explosive device ever ignited on American soil. It killed six people and injured thousands, leaving behind a 100-foot crater five stories deep. Investigators from New York City’s Joint Terrorism Task Force—a ragtag team of FBI paper-pushers and NYPD detectives—found themselves conducting a new type of international investigation, called Operation: Tradebom. It became their job to find the bombers and bring them to justice before something even worse happened.
Operation: Tradebom is an Apple Original podcast, produced by Truth Media in partnership with Brillstein Entertainment Partners. All episodes are available now.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Most Important Supermarket Visit in History
The cold war was the defining event of the second half of the 20th century.
When exactly it ended has been subject to debate. Was it the fall of the Berlin Wall? Was the day the Soviet Union was dissolved?
There is an argument to be made that end might have actually occurred before any of those things, although no one knew it at the time.
The event in question didn’t take place in Moscow or Washington but in a supermarket in the suburbs of Houston.
Learn more about the most important supermarket visit in history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Bozoma Saint John opens up about trauma, grief and healing in ‘The Urgent Life’
Bozoma Saint John says that the loss of her first daughter, who was born prematurely because of preeclampsia, left deep scars in her relationship with her husband. It contributed to their separation later on – but it also led to a lot of reflection after Saint John's husband's cancer diagnosis brought them back together before he died. These are some of the challenges the former Netflix and Pepsi executive explores in her new memoir, The Urgent Life. As Saint John tells NPR's Asma Khalid, there's a lot more shame associated with marriage and motherhood – especially for Black women – than is often talked about. But there's also a lot of resilience in finding a path forward.
