Everything Everywhere Daily - The Battle of Cajamarca

Some of the most important battles in history, the ones that changed the course of civilizations, are often very small battles. 

In 1532, a battle, really just a skirmish, took place, which completely changed the future paths of Peru, Spain, and the entire continent of South America. 

Despite the importance of this battle, few people have ever even heard of it. 

Learn more about the Battle of Cajamarca and how it changed the shape of the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The news to know for Friday, March 1, 2024!

We're talking about dueling trips to the southern border: what President Biden and former President Trump had to say about what many voters consider the most important issue in our country today.

Also, a deal was reached to avoid a government shutdown (for now.)

And a winter storm could bring 12 feet of snow to parts of California.

Plus, lawmakers moved to protect fertility treatment in Alabama.

Video doorbells meant to keep your home safe from strangers could actually be letting strangers In.

And it's time to celebrate Women's History Month. We'll share some ideas.

What A Day - Over 100 Palestinians Killed While Collecting Aid

More than 100 Palestinians were killed and hundreds more injured Thursday near Gaza City as people gathered around trucks to receive much needed food and aid. Hamas said in a statement that the Gaza Health Ministry had presented “undeniable” evidence of the Israeli Defense Force directly firing at civilians. Israel, for their part, denied that soldiers shot into the large crowd.

Alabama’s legislature voted to protect in vitro fertilization, or IVF, following the ruling by the state’s Supreme Court earlier this month that categorized frozen embryos as “children” and said that anyone who destroys them can be held liable for “wrongful death.” The bills aimed to protect IVF providers from lawsuits and criminal prosecution in hopes that they would resume offering treatments in the state again.

And in headlines: the government shutdown will be delayed for another week, Texas battles the largest wildfire in its history, and Wendy’s sets the record straight on “surge pricing.”

The Daily Signal - Rooting Out ‘Woke’: One Church Leader’s Mission

An Indiana pastor has launched an effort to connect Christian leaders across the country and root out the influence of a "woke" Christianity that undermines the biblical and traditional doctrines of the faith.


"We've got 500 pastors that have signed this statement across all sorts of denominational lines, committing themselves to really sound biblical teaching as a primary doctrine and to help eradicate wokeism from the American pulpit," Lucas Miles, pastor of the Nfluence Church in Granger, Indiana, and leader of the Nfluence network, tells "The Daily Signal Podcast."

NPR's Book of the Day - Memoirs by Helen Rebanks and Crystal Wilkinson weave recipes with women’s stories

Today's episode features two books that capture how cooking, taking care of loved ones, and running a home has sustained women for generations. First, NPR's Scott Simon speaks with Helen Rebanks (who is joined by actor and comedian Nick Offerman) about The Farmer's Wife, which chronicles her life as a homemaker and farmer in England. Then, Here & Now's Celeste Headlee speaks with former Kentucky poet laureate Crystal Wilkinson about Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts, which stretches back into Wilkinson's family history to understand how Black women were the unsung heroes of Appalachia.
