Everything Everywhere Daily - The Disappearance of Glenn Miller

Throughout the Second World War, one of the world’s most popular musicians was the American big band leader Glenn Miller. 

He had a string of hits over a very short period of time, and his music is so synonymous with that period that it can be heard in almost every movie and documentary about the war.

However, just before Christmas 1944, just a few months before the war in Europe would be over, Glenn Miller disappeared in a flight over the English Channel. 

Learn more about Glenn Miller and his disappearance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Daily Signal - Understanding the Job Ahead for Next House Speaker

The removal of Rep. Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House of Representatives on Tuesday was historic, but now it's time to talk about the future, one knowledgeable Capitol Hill watcher says.


"We are at a critical juncture in this country," says Ryan Walker, executive vice president of Heritage Action for America, an independent, nonprofit organization affiliated with The Heritage Foundation, which is the parent organization of The Daily Signal.


"If we don't solve the spending problem," Walker says, "we won't have a country to issue treasury bonds for in the future."


The Heritage Action leader says the job of the next speaker of the House is to rein in out-of-control government spending and "talk through this with the Senate and, more importantly, with the American people."


Walker joins this episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast" to talk about the official candidates for House speaker and how long the process of electing a new speaker may take. 


Enjoy the show!

Unexpected Elements - Complete shutdown

How would it feel wake up years later? After the US narrowly avoided a government shutdown, we look at how complicated systems - such as living things - can just press pause.

Could humans ever hibernate like bears and squirrels? Or even like simpler animals that can be revived after 46,000 years.

Also, which way does antimatter fall under gravity? And how might IVF save a functionally extinct species of rhino?

NPR's Book of the Day - Art Spiegelman reissues ‘Breakdowns’ with new perspective on book bans

Author and cartoonist Art Spiegelman is familiar with the hysteria surrounding certain library books. In today's episode, he tells NPR's Scott Simon about how comic book burnings during his childhood in the 1950s weren't all that different from book bans taking place across the country today. Spiegelman says that though they tackled difficult subjects, he found then – and continues to find today – great emotional power in comics, such as his reissued collection Breakdowns. And he says he's felt deeply unsettled by the ongoing challenges against these kinds of books.

Consider This from NPR - With McCarthy Out What’s Next for Republicans in the House?

It took just eight Republicans, voting with Democrats, to oust Kevin McCarthy from the House speakership. His removal may have been unprecedented, but for several years now the Republican caucus in the House of Representatives has been marked by chaos and unruliness. The job to lead them seems increasingly impossible.

NPR's Ari Shapiro speaks with Rep. Matt Rosendale, of Montana, who was one of the eight Republicans to vote for McCarthy's removal. Co-host Juana Summers speaks with NPR Congressional Correspondent Deirdre Walsh about the challenge Republicans face to replace McCarthy.

Planet Money - The flight attendants of CHAOS

When contract negotiations between Alaska Airlines and their flight attendants' union broke down in 1993, the union had a choice to make.

The union — The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA — knew that if they chose to strike, Alaska Airlines could use a plan. While Alaska Airlines technically couldn't fire someone on strike, they could permanently replace the striking flight attendants with new workers. Essentially, if the union went on strike, they could risk thousands of people's jobs. The flight attendants knew they needed a counter-strategy.

They went with a strategy they called CHAOS: "Create Havoc Around Our System."

The strategy had two phases. Phase one: The union kept Alaska guessing about when, where, and how a strike might happen. They kept everyone, even their own members, in the dark. And in turn, Alaska Airlines had to be prepared for a strike at any place and any time. Phase two was to go on strike in a targeted and strategic way.

The havoc that the flight attendants created set off a sort-of labor-dispute arms race and would go on to inspire strikes today. And, it showed how powerful it can be to introduce a little chaos into negotiations.
