Consider This from NPR - Deep inside a Norwegian fjord, a dream of farming salmon sustainably

If you eat salmon, there's a good chance that it comes from a salmon farm in Norway. The country has been farming salmon for over 50 years.

The industry is touted as a key producer of sustainable, low carbon footprint protein. But there are still negative environmental impacts. Each year, an average of 200,000 farmed salmon escape from their open net pens and breed with wild salmon.

Interbreeding with these escaped salmon passes on significant genetic changes to wild salmon, changes that make them less likely to survive in the wild.

NPR's Rob Schmitz traveled the country's west coast, visiting fishing villages and fish farms to see how the growth of salmon farming is affecting the wild population.

1A - Admiral James Stavridis On Climate Change, National Security, And ‘The Restless Wave’

Admiral James Stavridis led NATO's global operations from 2009 to 2013 as 16th Supreme Allied Commander for the alliance.

His new book is called "The Restless Wave." It's the latest installment of historical fiction from one of the country's most respected military leaders.

Stavridis recently warned that warfare is "shapeshifting in front of our eyes."

He says the war in Ukraine is a fight that's both very low tech, a battle being fought in the trenches, and high tech, with the use of drones in the air and at sea.

We sit down with Admiral Stavridis, discuss his latest book and answer your questions.

NBN Book of the Day - Rochelle Gurstein, “Written in Water: The Ephemeral Life of the Classic in Art” (Yale UP, 2024)

Is there such a thing as a timeless classic? More than a decade ago, Dr. Rochelle Gurstein set out to explore and establish a solid foundation for the classic in the history of taste. To her surprise, that history instead revealed repeated episodes of soaring and falling reputations, rediscoveries of long-forgotten artists, and radical shifts in the canon, all of which went so completely against common knowledge that it was hard to believe it was true.

Where does the idea of the timeless classic come from? And how has it become so fiercely contested? By recovering disputes about works of art from the eighteenth century to the close of the twentieth, in Written in Water: The Ephemeral Life of the Classic in Art (Yale University Press, 2024) Dr. Gurstein takes us into unfamiliar aesthetic and moral terrain, providing a richly imagined historical alternative to accounts offered by both cultural theorists advancing attacks on the politics of taste and those who continue to cling to the ideal of universal values embodied in the classic. As Gurstein brings to life the competing responses of generations of artists, art lovers, and critics to specific works of art, she makes us see the same object vividly and directly through their eyes and feel, in all its enlarging intensity, what they felt.


This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Boxer Rebellion

From 1899 to 1900, China underwent a widespread and violent uprising. The revolt, a reaction against China’s exploitation by foreign powers, was decades in the making.

In response to the revolt, a group of eight nations joined together to put down the rebellion and ultimately subjected China to yet another humiliating treaty.

The rebellion wasn’t successful, but it laid the groundwork for the seismic changes that would shape the country during the 20th century. 

Learn more about the Boxer Rebellion and how it influenced China on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Up First from NPR - Ta-Nehisi Coates On Why Books Scare People

Author Ta-Nehisi Coates is no stranger to controversy. Over a decade ago Coates wrote his thought provoking article in The Atlantic magazine titled The Case for Reparations. The article sparked a global conversation and led to Coates testifying in front of congress about reparations. Now Coates is back with a new book of essays, one of which takes on the conflict in the West Bank.

Today on The Sunday Story host Ayesha Rascoe talks to author Ta-Nehisi Coates about his new book, The Message and why some people fear books so much they lead efforts to have them banned.
