Everything Everywhere Daily - Typhoid Mary
In 1906, George Soper, a freelance sanitary engineer, was hired to investigate several outbreaks of typhoid fever in wealthy New York households.
The reason why it was mysterious is that typhoid fever usually only occurred in places with unsanitary conditions.
What Soper discovered radically changed our knowledge of infectious diseases and how they spread.
Learn more about Typhoid Mary and how she was discovered on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Audio Poem of the Day - The History of Mothers of Sons
By Lisa Furmanski
Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Horses in North America (Encore)
When one thinks of the history of North America, it often invokes images of native Americans and cowboys riding on horseback.
However, horses weren’t in the Westen Hemisphere when Europeans arrived. There was a time when if native people had to move from one place to another, they had to do so on foot.
But, while that is true, the truth is more complex because if you go back far enough, there was a time when horses were in North America.
Learn more about the complicated history of horses in North America, and how they unleashed a revolution, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Songkran
Songkran is a traditional festival celebrated in Thailand that marks the start of the Thai New Year. It is also known as the Water Festival, as it involves splashing water on one another as a symbolic gesture of cleansing and washing away the sins and bad luck of the previous year.
However, it is since evolved into something much more than a religious observance. It has become the world’s biggest water fight.
Learn more about Songkran, the Thai New Year’s celebration, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Empireland,’ Sathnam Sanghera takes a closer look at the UK’s imperialist history
Sathnam Sanghera's new book, Empireland, focuses on how British imperialism shaped the trajectory of that country's history. But as he emphasizes in his opening chapter, the U.S. – much like the rest of the world – is not exempt from being a part of that story. In today's episode, Sanghera speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about how he came to understand that fraught history through his own personal experiences as a Sikh man in Britain, and why that particular empire stands out from the rest for him.
