NPR's Book of the Day - Two books examine the evolution of the English language
Today's episode features interviews with two authors who are very invested in the English language. First, NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks with Hana Videen about her new book, The Wordhord, which collects words and phrases from Old English – like Beowulf – to examine and understand life during medieval times. Then, Here & Now's Robin Young is joined by linguist Valerie Fridland to discuss Like, Literally, Dude, which makes the case for how "like" and "um" are leading the charge of modernizing our language.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Rat Eradication on South Georgia Island (Encore)
Humans and rats have lived in an uneasy relationship for millennia. Rats have spread diseases like the bubonic plague, destroyed grain harvests, and stolen our pizzas.
In return, rats have given humans……pretty much nothing.
As such, humans have waged a relentless war against rats, which for the most part has gone nowhere. However, there are some fronts where we have had amazing success.
Learn more about humanity’s war on rats on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Talk’ is a graphic memoir about the experiences of Black children and parents
When Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Darrin Bell was six years old, he had an encounter with a police officer. That event, which he kept secret for much of his life, reaffirmed "the talk" he'd just had with his mother about the way white people and systems of power can cast hostility and harm onto Black children. That conversation – the way it shaped his own childhood, schooling and adulthood – is at the heart of Bell's new graphic memoir, The Talk. He spoke with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about his own approach to discussing race and how it's led him to parent his own child.
