Everything Everywhere Daily - The Geography of Spain

Spain, like most countries, has a unitary national government but also has a series of subnational jurisdictions. 

In most countries, these might be known as states or provinces; however, in Spain, they do things a little differently. 

The political divisions in Spain aren’t arbitrary lines on a map. The divisions are usually based on unique histories, as well as cultural, linguistic, and geographic differences. 

Learn more about the political and cultural geography of Spain and the various regions that comprise it on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Short Wave - Murder, Mayhem At The Zoo: A Naked Mole Rat Succession War

An all-out "naked mole rat war" has broken out at Smithsonian's National Zoo, after the queen of the colony was mortally wounded by one of her own children. Short Wave's Pien Huang and Margaret Cirino visit the battleground – a series of deceptively calm-looking plexiglass enclosures at the Zoo's Small Mammal House. There, the typically harmonious, eusocial rodents are now fighting their siblings with their big front teeth to determine who will become the new queen. Pien and Marge talk with zookeeper Kenton Kerns about what led to this violent succession drama, the stress he feels in witnessing his first naked mole rat war and how he hopes it will resolve.

NOTE: This episode contains some detailed descriptions of animals fighting each other, so be warned.

Check out the Smithsonian National Zoo's naked mole rat live cam.

The Daily Signal - New Research on ‘Conversion Therapy’ Turns LGBTQ Narrative on Its Head

On today's show, Tyler O'Neil sits down with Father Paul Sullins, senior research associate at the Ruth Institute and a former sociology professor at Catholic University, to discuss his research into "sexual orientation change efforts."


Sullins analyzes the best data on how people who identify as homosexual have fared after undergoing therapies to address psychological issues that might underlie their same-sex attraction. While many U.S. states and health organizations claim that these efforts, often branded "conversion therapy," increase the risk of suicide, Sullins finds the exact opposite.


LGB people who underwent SOCE were actually less likely to have suicidal thoughts AFTER the therapy. This finding turns the literature on its head and suggests that therapy to resolve issues underlying same-sex attraction may help LGB people, even if such therapy does not lead them to reject homosexuality.


Enjoy the show!

NPR's Book of the Day - Kaveh Akbar’s novel ‘Martyr!’ is a journey of identity, addiction and poetry

Halfway through today's episode, author Kaveh Akbar tells NPR's Scott Simon that his life is a summation of "private joys amidst collective grief and private grief amidst collective joy." It's a contrast that contextualizes his emotionally dark yet deeply funny debut novel, Martyr!, about an Iranian-American poet grappling with addiction, loss, displacement and art. Akbar, who is also poetry editor at The Nation, explains why his protagonist is so obsessed with the concept of martyrdom, and how it relates to his own personal journey with sobriety.

Amarica's Constitution - A Self-Educating Gaffe

Oral arguments are approaching in the Trump v. Anderson case, and the nation is talking about little else.  At the Harvard Law School, Professor Amar is invited to debate a former US Attorney General and Federal Judge, Michael Mukasey, who also submitted an amicus brief in the case together with Bill Barr and Ed Meese, among others.  We analyze the debate - and the brief.  And in that brief, Akhil identifies what he considers to be an egregious error, which is telling not only in its fatal weakening of the particular argument, but in the way it calls into question the entirety of their brief, and how it points the way to needed reforms in the legal ecosystem as a whole.  This is an indispensable episode.  CLE credit is available from podcast.njsba.com.

Consider This from NPR - Impeaching Mayorkas: High Crimes and Misdemeanors Or Politics As Usual?

Immigration and management of the U.S. Southern Border is always a politically charged issue, but especially at this moment.

House republicans are trying to advance articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. They say he has refused to comply with the law and has breached the trust of the public.

Meanwhile President Biden is describing the U.S. immigration system as broken.

All this is playing out as a government funding bill is tied to the border and a presidential election is months away.
