Everything Everywhere Daily - The Drake Equation (Encore)
In 1961, at the Green Bank observatory in West Virginia, a small conference was held for astrophysicists. The meeting was organized by Cornell University professor and astronomer Frank Drake.
The subject of the conference was the search for extraterrestrial life.
In preparation for the conference, he jotted down his thoughts in the form of an equation. An equation that has changed how we think about life on other worlds.
Learn more about the Drake Equation and the variables that make it up on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The North Africa Campaign
Before the Allied invasions of Normandy or Sicily in World War II, the ground war against Germany and Italy was first fought in North Africa.
The reason why there was even a conflict in Africa was a combination of geography and history. Even though it doesn’t get the attention the war in Asia or Europe receives, the war in North Africa was pivotal to the ultimate resolution of the war in Europe.
Had things gone differently, the entire course of the war would have changed.
Learn more about the North Africa Campaign, why it was fought and how it was resolved on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Audio Poem of the Day - The Wind
By Dafydd Ap Gwilym (translated by Gwyneth Lewis)
Everything Everywhere Daily - Corn aka Maize
The biggest agricultural crop in the world today, by total weight, is corn.
Also known as maize, corn is a crop of the New World. The ancients in China, India, Mesopotamia, and Rome never knew about corn.
Yet, since the Columbian Exchange, it has become one of the world’s most important commodities as a source of food, animal feed, and the basis of many manufactured food products.
Learn more about corn, aka maize, where it came from, and how it revolutionized the world of agriculture on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Morgan Talty examines Native identity in ‘Night of the Living Rez’ and ‘Fire Exit’
Today's episode features two interviews with author Morgan Talty. First, a conversation with NPR's Melissa Block about his 2022 collection of short stories, Night of the Living Rez, and how he navigates the weight of representation for the Penobscot Nation. Then, NPR's Andrew Limbong asks Talty about his new novel, Fire Exit, which takes place in the same cinematic universe as his former book but follows a white man trying to make sense of his place within an Indigenous community.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Do polluters pay, or do they get paid?
For years, rich nations have sent money to lower-income countries to help deal with the impacts of climate change. But it turns out, these wealthy nations are finding creative ways to funnel some of that financing back into their own economies. Today, we look at how the climate crisis is reviving a debate over how money should flow from rich to less-rich nations.
