Everything Everywhere Daily - Representative Riffs

Music is a very powerful thing. It can invoke a wide variety of emotions and moods. 

Particular songs we've heard might invoke memories of when we first heard them.

However, there is some music that actually can server as a cultural shorthand. Not even full songs are necessary. Just a few notes can provide a very specific cultural reference.

Learn more about representative riffs, what they are, and how they came to be on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Tyranny of the Rocket Equation (Encore)

In 1897, the visionary Russian rocket scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky discovered an equation that governed how rockets worked. 

His equation, which was independently discovered by several other rocket scientists, immutably governs how we can send rockets into space. 

The variables in his equation have determined everything surrounding spaceflight and rocketry since its inception and will for the foreseeable future.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Pig Years’ and ‘What the Chicken Knows’ consider the interior worlds of farm animals

Today's books take readers into the secret lives of farm animals. The first, Pig Years, is a memoir by the writer Ellen Gaydos, who began working as a farmhand at 18 years old. In Pig Years, she writes lyrically about working with, raising and admiring pigs–all while knowing they'll one day be slaughtered. In today's episode, we revisit a conversation between Gaydos and NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben about the intimacy of working with people and animals on the farm. Next, author Sy Montgomery has written more than 34 books about creatures, including turtles and octopi. Her latest project is a book about chickens. What the Chicken Knows is an homage that relishes all we don't know about the birds. In today's episode, Montgomery speaks with Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd about chickens' surprising signs of intelligence and what to do when a rooster attacks.
