Everything Everywhere Daily - Mary, Queen of Scots

One of the most significant figures in 16th-century Britain was Mary Stuart, aka Mary, Queen of Scots. 

Mary’s life was one of the most fascinating of the period. Depending on which historian you consult, she was a schemer, a traitor, a pawn, or a victim. According to some, she was all of these things. 

What is certain is that Mary was ultimately responsible for the union of the Scottish and British crowns and the creation of the United Kingdom that we know today.

Learn more about Mary, Queen of Scots, and her incredible story on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Up First from NPR - The Sunday Story: The History of Sex Testing in Sports

Who gets to compete? Since the beginning of women's sports, there has been a struggle over who qualifies for the women's category. A Martinez speaks with Rose Eveleth, the host of a new podcast series called Tested from NPR's Embedded and CBC in Canada, which traces the surprising, 100-year history of sex testing in elite sports. The series follows the unfolding story of elite female runners who have been told they can no longer race as women, because of their biology. They face hard choices: take drugs to lower their natural testosterone levels, give up their sport entirely, or fight.

1A - The Science And Future Of Refrigeration

It's sitting in your home right now, humming away. If prompted, you might say it's one of the most important appliances you own. But you probably don't give your refrigerator too much thought.

The humble fridge has been a staple in American households since it became popular in the 1940s and '50s. Fridges today have more space than ever, and more gadgets to make them "smart."

But sometimes, problems arise. Wilting lettuce, a container of strawberries going bad days before you expected. An icemaker on the fritz. And a tub of yogurt hiding behind the condiments that you know you bought... sometime in the past few weeks.

We discuss how our refrigerated food system developed, how it affects the food we eat, and how we can use our fridges more effectively.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Are Zoos Ethical? What is Panda Diplomacy?

It’s official – the U.S. has welcomed a new pair of giant pandas for the first time in more than two decades, making their debut at the San Diego Zoo this week. Of course, the pandas are incredibly cute, but they represent so much more.

Later in this episode – we’re talking about so-called “panda diplomacy.” How did the animals become such an important symbol on the global stage? Our guest Yun Sun is a senior fellow at the Stimson Center and an expert on Chinese foreign policy.

But first – are American zoos ultimately good or bad for animals? And is it ethical to visit zoos? We’re discussing all this and more with wildlife biologist and host of the “Fancy Scientist” podcast, Dr. Stephanie Manka.
