Located in the heart of South America is the Amazon, the world's largest river. It isn’t just big, it is by almost any measure you can think of the world’s largest river, and it is so by a wide margin. 

In addition to the river itself, the Amazon basin is the location of one of the greatest collections of biodiversity on the planet. It is home to millions of species of plants and animals. 

Despite its enormous size and importance, there is one area where the Amazon falls behind the other great rivers of the world. 

Learn more about the Amazon, the world’s largest river, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In October 1962, a U-2 spy plane discovered Soviet nuclear missile sites in Cuba. 

The subsequent 13 days were some of the tensest in human history. 

The United States and the Soviet Union came closer to nuclear war than at any point in the cold war. 

It was only a last-minute cooling of tensions that prevented an all-out war.

Learn more about the Cuban Missile Crisis and how it was resolved on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

First, The Athletic reporter Evan Drellich speaks with NPR's A Martinez about his investigation into the Astros' 2017 World Series win and subsequent cheating scandal, which is closely examined in Drellich's new book, Winning Fixes Everything. Then, NPR's Juana Summers sits down with former NFL player Colin Kaepernick to discuss his new graphic memoir, Change the Game, which revisits how growing up idolizing Black football players led Kaepernick to pick that sport over his promising future in baseball.

Weather systems on Earth aren’t stable. There are cycles that weather patterns go through, which can have enormous effects around the globe.

There is probably no more important weather cycle than the one meteorologists called the Southern Oscillation. This cycle can have dramatic implications for temperatures and rainfall all over the world. 

Learn more about El Niño, La Niña, and the Southern Oscillation on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Who would Travis Bickle– the protagonist of the 1976 film Taxi Driver – be today? That question sparked the new novel by Priya Guns, Your Driver Is Waiting. It follows Damani, a queer Tamil ride-share driver who is struggling to pay her bills while people on the street around her protest for cause after cause that she can't seem to keep track of. Then she meets Jolene, who is the epitome of the privilege Damani does not have. As Guns tells NPR's Scott Simon, it's a relationship that forces her protagonist to reckon with her own preconceptions of wealth and whiteness.
