Straddling the border of Switzerland and France is the largest scientific instrument ever created. 

It sits in a tunnel 27 kilometers or 17 miles long, at points, it rests 175 meters or 574 feet below the surface, and it cost a whopping €7.5 billion.

It consists of thousands of powerful magnets and a vacuum chamber and uses a great deal of energy. With it we can probe the secrets of the basic particles that make up the universe.

Today's episode features two novels intertwining family and wartime history. First, Anne Berest speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about The Postcard, based on the real-life holiday card her family received of relatives who'd been killed at Auschwitz years prior, and the journey that unfurled more than decade later to determine where the image came from. Then, Simon is joined by Luis Alberto Urrea, author of Good Night, Irene, who explains how his mother's real-life experience feeding and cheering on American soldiers during the war fueled his novel about the brave women on the frontlines of battle.

Located roughly in the territory of the modern-day nation of Iran is the ancient region known as Persia. 

Persia sat at a strategic crossroad between South Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, the Arabian Peninsula, and Asia Minor.

It was influenced not only by all of the great civilizations around it but it was the source of many of the great empires of antiquity. 

Learn more about the Persian Empires on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

As an NPR critic, Pop Culture Happy Hour host Aisha Harris helps make sense of how movies, music and TV inform our everyday lives. In her new book of essays, Wannabe, Harris applies that practice inward, reflecting on the impact Stevie Wonder and Sex and the City have had on her own upbringing. In today's episode, Harris speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about how relating her name to a certain pop song forced her to tackle some of her own discomforts with Black identity, and the challenges that come with being a Black critic reviewing work by Black creators.
