Everything Everywhere Daily - The Battle of the Little Big Horn

One of the most famous battles in the history of the American West took place in June 1876. 

An alliance of the Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes faced off against the United States cavalry. 

The battle was a route and one of the most devastating losses for the American military, as well as one of the greatest victories for Plains Indians. 

The victory, however, was only temporary as the victory led to an even bigger response, and the loss was actually glorified in the United States for decades.

Learn more about the Battle of the Little Bighorn and how it shaped the American West on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Big Jim and the White Boy,’ a new graphic novel, reinterprets a Mark Twain classic

Since its publication in 1885, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has been celebrated as one of the great American works of literature. But the novel has also been criticized for how Mark Twain stereotyped Black characters like Jim, the enslaved man who befriends Huck Finn. Now, author David Walker and illustrator Marcus Kwame Anderson have reimagined this story with Jim at its center. Their new graphic novel, Big Jim and the White Boy, is an action story filled with adventures, fight sequences and an acknowledgment of the danger of the world Jim operates within. In today's episode, Anderson and Walker join NPR's Scott Simon to discuss the novel, including what they did to turn Jim into a multidimensional character, their decision to keep the N-word in their retelling and whether Huck and Jim were ever really friends.

The Indicator from Planet Money - America’s economy is the envy of the world. Will it stay that way?

Donald Trump's victory in this year's election had a lot to do with how many Americans feel about the US economy (surprise: not good). But Simon Rabinovitch, US Economics Editor for The Economist, argues that, despite the turmoil of the past few years, America's economy remains the envy of the world. Today on the show, Simon explains why that is, but also why he believes a Trump presidency puts America's 'economic exceptionalism' at risk.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Election of 1864 (Encore)

The election of 1860 was unquestionably the most important election in American history. 

The presidential election after that was still important, but it has the distinction of being perhaps the oddest presidential election in history, if for no other reason than it was conducted in the middle of a civil war. 

Learn more about the election of 1864 and all the ways we’ve never seen anything like it before or since, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Stanley Tucci records 12 months of eating in his food diary ‘What I Ate in One Year’

Stanley Tucci of Searching for Italy and The Devil Wears Prada fame loves food—especially the comforting taste of home-cooked Italian cuisine. But in 2017, when Tucci was diagnosed with oral cancer, he temporarily lost his sense of taste. A year later, following treatment that included six months on a feeding tube, he became cancer-free. Since then, Tucci has thought and written a lot about death and his desire to freeze time. In today's episode, Tucci joins NPR's A Martinez to talk about what makes a great meal, how life revolves around food, and his new book What I Ate in One Year.
