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.

NBN Book of the Day - James N. Druckman and Elizabeth A. Sharrow, “Equality Unfulfilled: How Title IX’s Policy Design Undermines Change to College Sports” (Cambridge UP, 2023)

The year 1972 is often hailed as an inflection point in the evolution of women's rights. Congress passed Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, a law that outlawed sex-based discrimination in education. Many Americans celebrate Title IX for having ushered in an era of expanded opportunity for women's athletics; yet fifty years after its passage, sex-based inequalities in college athletics remain the reality. James N. Druckman and Elizabeth A. Sharrow's book Equality Unfulfilled: How Title IX's Policy Design Undermines Change to College Sports (Cambridge UP, 2023) explains why. 

The book identifies institutional roadblocks - including sex-based segregation, androcentric organizational cultures, and overbearing market incentives - that undermine efforts to achieve systemic change. Drawing on surveys with student-athletes, athletic administrators, college coaches, members of the public, and fans of college sports, it highlights how institutions shape attitudes toward gender equity policy. It offers novel lessons not only for those interested in college sports but for everyone seeking to understand the barriers that any marginalized group faces in their quest for equality.

Kelly McFall is Professor of History and Director of the Honors Program at Newman University.

What A Day - Reading Is Fundamental, Honey

Republicans remain divided over who should lead their delicate House majority after Kevin McCarthy was ousted as speaker. A vote for his replacement is set for next week – and so far, at least three Republicans have signaled that they want the job.

Banned Books Week, an annual event to draw attention to the harms of censorship, has taken on new significance this year. Legislation in some GOP-led states has forced schools and libraries to pull many titles from their shelves, disproportionately targeting books about race, sexuality, and gender identity. Conrrado Saldivar, president of the Wyoming Library Association, joins us to discuss how he’s defending the right to read.

And in headlines: President Biden canceled another $9 billion in student loan debt, more than 75,000 Kaiser Permanente employees walked off the job as part of a three-day strike, and voting is open for Fat Bear Week 2023.

This Machine Kills - Patreon Preview – 287. Never Trust a Wunderkind

We check in on a forgotten friend, Sam Bankman-Fried, on the eve of his big trial for one of the largest frauds in history. But this time with a nice addition of the freak beat as SBF’s parents enter the scene and come to his defense. On one hand, the legal defense for SBF is that he is just a dumb oaf who made some stupid mistakes. On the other, the moral defense for SBF, fronted by his parents, is that he is a big beautiful boy who is literally incapable of speaking “an untruth.” Stuff we reference ••• If It's Doomsday This Must Be Belfast https://captainplanet.fandom.com/wiki/If_It%27s_Doomsday_This_Must_Be_Belfast ••• Inside Sam Bankman-Fried’s Family Bubble https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/10/02/inside-sam-bankman-frieds-family-bubble Subscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).

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.
