Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Tea
Sometimes over 3000 years ago, somewhere in Southwestern China, a leaf from the Camellia sinensis plant accidentally found its way into a pot of boiling water.
Noticing that the leaf had turned the water a different color, some person unknown to history drank the concoction and found that it was good.
That was the start of something which is today a globe-spanning multi-billion dollar industry that millions of people indulge in every day.
Learn more about tea, its origins, and how it spread around the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Soil’ weaves together a poet’s experience of gardening, race and community
For poet Camille Dungy, environmental justice, community interdependence and political engagement go hand in hand. She explores those relationships in her new book, Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden. In it, she details how her experience trying to diversify the species growing in her yard, in a predominantly white town in Colorado, reflects larger themes of how we talk about land and race in the U.S. In today's episode, she tells NPR's Melissa Block about the journey that gardening put her on, and what it's revealed about who gets to write about the environment.

Undiscovered - New Show: Universe of Art
Hey Undiscovered listeners! We’re back to tell you about a brand new show from Science Friday. Universe Of Art is a podcast about artists who use science to take their creations to the next level.
Hosted by SciFri producer and musician D. Peterschmidt, each episode of Universe Of Art will focus on a different artist (or scientist) about how science played a role in their creative process, and what we can learn by combining two seemingly unrelated fields together. We’ll hear from astronomers who integrate space into their artwork, drag performers who bring science into their acts, and many others. Here’s a sneak peak.
Everything Everywhere Daily - Route 66
In the early 20th century, as automobiles became more and more popular, the need for a national system of roads in the United States became more evident.
One of the suggested roads connected the city of Chicago, Illinois, on the Great Lakes, with the city of Los Angeles, California, on the Pacific Ocean.
In 1926 the route was established, following paths and trails which had been used for centuries, and quickly found itself as a central object of popular culture.
Learn more about Route 66, its history, and its legacy on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Bangles cofounder Susanna Hoffs’ first novel follows a one-hit wonder, 10 years later
The protagonist of Susanna Hoffs' debut novel, Jane Start, probably listens to Dionne Warwick to hype herself up in the morning. Start is 33 and living with her parents – her days of pop stardom, for one song, are 10 years behind her. But in This Bird Has Flown, a romantic spark reignites a second chance for her creative endeavors, too. In today's episode, Hoffs tells NPR's Andrew Limbong how her own experiences as a rockstar influenced the story, which she's now adapting into a feature film.
