Everything Everywhere Daily - The First Battle of the Marne (Encore)

If you think of the First World War, your mind probably turns to images of trench warfare and thousands of men losing their lives to try and gain just a few meters of land. 

However, in the first few weeks of the war, this was not at all the case. In fact, it initially looked like the war might not even last two months. 

What stopped the collapse of France and began widespread trench warfare was a desperate battle that took place in the first week of September 1914.

Learn more about the First Battle of the Marne on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Host Emily Kwong and former host Maddie Sofia talk battery 101 with environmental engineer Jenelle Fortunato.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Ruin their Crops on the Ground’ tracks the history and politics of food in the U.S.

Food is a source of nourishment, joy and autonomy for a lot of people – but in her new book, Ruin their Crops on the Ground, Andrea Freeman also tracks how the U.S. government has used food policy as a form of control and oppression. In today's episode, Freeman speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about how the book's title can be traced back to an order given by George Washington to destroy the food source of Indigenous nations, and how from slavery to Got Milk? campaigns to school lunches today, there's often a bigger political agenda behind nutrition education.
