Everything Everywhere Daily - Rosie the Riveter
On December 29, 1940, a year before the United States entered the Second World War, President Franklin Roosevelt declared the United States to be an arsenal of democracy.
When the US did finally enter the war, they faced a serious problem. The population of men who would normally be called upon to work in the factories was now being sent off to war.
The solution to the problem proved to be incredibly simple.

NPR's Book of the Day - Sen. Bernie Sanders and Malcolm Harris take a closer look at wealth and capitalism
Today's episode features interviews with two people who've given a lot of thought to capitalism's role in modern society. First, Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks with NPR's Steve Inskeep about his new book, It's OK to be Angry About Capitalism, and how he views the way politicians appeal to the working class – oftentimes, he says, without addressing the root of the problems they're facing. Then, NPR's Michel Martin talks to author Malcolm Harris about his new book, Palo Alto, which details the origins of the California city, the birth of Silicon Valley and the power that's concentrated in the industries that are based there.

White Lies - The Trial
In Episode 6, we sneak into the graveyard of the Atlanta federal penitentiary with a radical peace activist to learn more about what happened in the prison in late 1984. A peaceful protest by detainees held in the Atlanta pen resulted in a violent crackdown, and one of the detainees, a man named Jose Hernandez-Mesa, was charged in federal court with inciting a riot. We tell the story of his trial — and the surprising verdict that began reshaping public opinion about the Mariel Cubans who were being detained.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Lysenkoism (Encore)
In the early 20th century, a Soviet agronomist named Trofim Lysenko developed some unique theories of biology and genetics.
He rose to the top of the Soviet hierarchy in his field, and Stalin himself endorsed his theories.
The result of the implementation of his ideas was nothing short of disastrous.
Learn more about Trofim Lysenko and Lysenkoism on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘My Selma,’ Willie Mae Brown recalls growing up during the Civil Rights Movement
Willie Mae Brown was a little girl in Selma, Alabama in the 1960s. In her new YA book, My Selma, she recalls growing up during the height of the Civil Rights Movement in the South. As she tells Here & Now's Robin Young, those core childhood memories include going to church to see Martin Luther King, Jr. speak – which moved Brown's mother to tears as she held the author – and her siblings getting arrested for trying to accompany teachers who were planning to register to vote. But, she says, there was also a lot of joy and community as a child on the frontlines of justice.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘The Darker the Night,’ a murder in Glasgow unravels a political investigation
Early on in The Darker the Night, the debut thriller from NPR producer Martin Patience, an investigative reporter links a murder in Glasgow to a significant political figure: the first minister of the Scottish government. As Patience tells NPR's Scott Simon, the story that ensues draws larger questions about journalists and their sources – particularly within governments and police departments – and how the erosion of local media outlets has impacted the way they're trusted by the communities they serve.
