Curious City - Beer, architecture and Lincoln Square: The lasting impact of German culture in Chicago

If you’ve ever shown up to a bar on a Sunday afternoon or listened to a concert at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, you’ve experienced firsthand the lasting impact of German culture in the city. Last episode, we went to Christkindlmarket, one of the most prominent examples of German culture in Chicago. There are key organizations like the Goethe Institute and DANK Haus. But there are also more subtle, everyday activities we participate in that would be different had German immigrants never settled in this area, centuries ago. Curious City host Erin Allen talks to two experts on German language and culture. They discuss how it has shaped Chicago’s history and present, from the products we consume to the rights and freedoms we enjoy.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The White House

Located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington DC, is the home of the president of the United States. 

The idea of a home for the president dates back to the very first president, and ever since the second president, every single one has lived in the same house while they were in office. 

While the house appears to be the same as the one built in the late 18th century, the interior has been radically transformed over the years. 

Learn more about the White House, how and why it was built and how it has changed over time on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Indicator from Planet Money - What a second Trump term could mean for SpaceX

SpaceX is capping off a busy 2024, with more than 100 rocket launches, including its vaunted Starship. NPR Science Correspondent Geoff Brumfiel attended the November launch of Starship alongside SpaceX founder Elon Musk and president-elect Donald Trump. He spoke with NPR's Short Wave about the environmental impact of these launches in south Texas — and what a second Trump administration could mean for the company.

NPR's Book of the Day - Haruki Murakami’s longtime editor spills the tea on working with the master

Lexy Bloom first read Haruki Murakami in the '90s, when she picked up A Wild Sheep Chase. At that point, not much of the Japanese author's work had been published in English. But Bloom often read his stories in The New Yorker, trying to guess which of his three translators had worked on each one. Bloom, who is now a senior editor at Knopf, began to edit Murakami's English translations years later, starting with 1Q84. Now, Murakami has a new novel out, The City and Its Uncertain Walls, a revision of an earlier novella. In today's episode, Bloom joins NPR's Andrew Limbong for a discussion that touches on what it's like to collaborate with Murakami, feminist critiques of the author's female characters, and reading the author's work through a Western lens.
