Everything Everywhere Daily - The Kidnapping of Charley Ross (Encore)

Most children growing up are admonished not to take candy from strangers. 

It is good advice, but it isn’t advice that comes from nowhere. It comes from a particular incident 150 years ago that shocked the world and changed how we view children’s safety.

It was an event, the echos of which can be seen today in efforts to find abducted children.

Learn more about the kidnapping of Charley Ross on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Slate Books - Working: How to Be Both a Critic and a Creator

This week, host Ronald Young Jr. talks to Linda Holmes, host of NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast and author of two novels: Evvie Drake Starts Over and Flying Solo. In the interview, Linda explains how she started her career practicing law in Minnesota before she pivoted to TV criticism. She also talks about how NPR came to take pop culture seriously, how her work as a critic informs her writing (and vice versa), and how she has gotten much better at coming up with titles for her novels. 


After the interview, Ronald and co-host Isaac Butler talk about how they handle criticism of their work. 


In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, Linda discusses her favorite TV show and one of her main philosophies when it comes to pop culture criticism.
