Everything Everywhere Daily - Oliver Cromwell

For over 1000 years, England has been a monarchy.3…except for twelve years in the 17th century when it wasn’t. 

During that period, it was ruled by a very non-royal person by the name of Oliver Cromwell. 

He was a highly controversial figure during his life, after his death, and remains so today. 

Learn more about Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of England, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Colleen Oakley’s new roadtrip novel takes inspiration from ‘Thelma and Louise’

Tanner and Louise have a 63 year age difference and pretty opposite personalities: Tanner is a former college athlete, hitting what she thinks is rock bottom after dropping out. Louise is the eccentric elderly lady she gets hired to take care of. But in Colleen Oakley's new novel, The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise, the two women forge an unlikely friendship when Louise's past forces them to hit the road. As the author tells NPR's Mary Louise Kelly, the story is equal parts inspired by Thelma and Louise and by her own friendship with her grandmother.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Fingerprints

Located on the tips of our fingers are features known as friction ridges. We evolved them to get a better grip on objects. 

It just so happens that those friction ridges are unique to every person. 

That allows us to use friction ridges as unique identifiers and for authorities to use them to catch criminals, and in some ways, we have been doing so for centuries. 

Learn more about fingerprints and fingerprinting on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘A Living Remedy,’ Nicole Chung reflects on anger, grief and failed systems

Nicole Chung's first memoir, All You Can Ever Know, recounts her story growing up adopted – a young Asian American woman in a predominantly white town in Oregon — and her journey to retrace her roots. Her new memoir, A Living Remedy, takes a closer look at Chung's adoptive parents and their financial struggles throughout her life, up until they both died within a year of each other. As she tells NPR's Steve Inskeep, her grief coalesced with a deep resentment for the social systems she felt should've taken better care of her family.
