Everything Everywhere Daily - The Battle of Tours

In the year 732, one of the most important battles in world history took place between the cities of Tours and Portier in France. 

On one side was an unstoppable juggernaut that had amassed one of the largest empires in world history in less than a century. 

On the other side was a vastly outnumbered force that lacked the primary weapon of the era, heavy cavalry. 

The outcome of that battle can still be seen in the world today. 

Learn more about the Batte of Tours and the battle that shaped Europe on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

What A Day - Trump’s Week of Legal Woes

Fulton County DA Fani Willis and special counsel Nathan Wade both took the stand on Thursday about their prior romantic relationship. The hearing will determine whether it constituted a conflict of interest that disqualifies Willis from prosecuting Donald Trump for election racketeering in Georgia.

Meanwhile, a verdict is expected Friday in New York’s civil fraud trial against Trump, and New York’s hush money criminal trial against Trump got a start date of March 25th.

And in headlines: Kansas City officials said Wednesday’s mass shooting at the Super Bowl parade probably started with a personal argument, President Biden is expected to visit East Palestine, Ohio on Friday, and an FBI informant was charged for lying about connections between Hunter Biden and Ukraine.

Show Notes:

What A Day will be off on Monday, February 19th for Presidents’ Day. We’ll be back with a new episode on Tuesday, February 20th.

Short Wave - The U.N.’s First-Ever Analysis Of World’s Migratory Species Just Dropped

Every year, billions of animals across the globe embark on journeys. They fly, crawl, walk or slither – often across thousands of miles of land or water – to find better food, more agreeable weather or a place to breed. Think monarch butterflies, penguins, wild Pacific salmon. These species are crucial to the world as we know it. But until this week, there has never been an official assessment of the world's migratory animals.

So today on the show, correspondent Nate Rott shares the first-ever report on state of the world's migratory animals – the threats facing them and what can be done to help.

Are you afraid of needles or shots? Send us a voice memo with your story at shortwave@npr.org. We'd love to hear about it for an upcoming episode.

The Daily Signal - ‘The Chosen’ Actors on Joys and Challenges of Portraying Biblical Characters

The Bible provides readers with glimpses into the personalities of Jesus' Twelve Apostles, but little is know about the details of their lives.


That can be both a challenge and creative opportunity for the actors and writers on the set of the hit series “The Chosen.” 


“We know he's known as ‘Doubting Thomas,’” says Joey Vahedi, the actor who plays Thomas on the multiseason series. But the question that Vahedi says he has the opportunity to answer is “why is [Thomas] that person?” 


The writers of the show, Vahedi says, “take such great liberty with bringing this human perspective to all the characters, because we got to remember they're not saints yet.” 

The character of Thomas is significantly developed in the first three episodes of season four of “The Chosen,” which are in theaters now. 


Season four picks up right where season three left off, and “I think you get to see a much, much sweeter and kinder side to Thomas,” Vahedi says. “He's out of his shell, finally feels comfortable. He's ready. And on the flip side of that, Jesus' message is getting so much more radical, to the point where it is dangerous for everybody now.”


Even outside of the Apostles, the latest season of “The Chosen” shows how the message of Jesus is affecting everyone who hears it. 


Kirk B. Woller, who plays the role of the Roman soldier Gaius, says his character is “toying with” the message he's hearing Jesus speak. 


“There's just great responsibility to me in all of this” to portray his character accurately, Woller said.


Woller and Vahedi join “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share their own stories of how they became a part of “The Chosen” cast, and the hardest and most rewarding parts of playing their roles as they develop further in the new season. 


Enjoy the show!
