State of the World from NPR - A Sound Mirror: Notre Dame Cathedral’s Restoration Can Be Heard in Its Resonance

Notre Dame's longest serving organist Olivier Latry tells of the cathedral's transformed acoustics. After a horrific fire in 2019, craftspeople resurrected the cathedral in just five years. The organist says the thorough cleaning of the instrument and the structure's stone makes the cathedral even more reverberant.

1A - Game Mode: Tetris Turns 40

Think back to the first time someone told you about the game Tetris. Was it a friend? An older sibling or a parent? Maybe you saw someone playing it at an arcade.

How long did it take you to get what Tetris is — what you had to accomplish in the game and how to play it?

2024 boasts the 40th anniversary of the classic game of falling blocks, known as tetrominoes.

More than 520 million copies of Tetris have been sold since its worldwide release in the 1980s.

For our series "Game Mode", we're setting up to stack — looking at the game's history and why it became and has stayed popular.

NPR's Book of the Day - New cookbook ‘Jiggle!’ aims to bring gelatin back in style

In the '70s, gelatin was very much in vogue. Gatherings often featured a colorful, molded jello salad that contained surprising ingredients from cottage cheese to tuna. Those dishes have since fallen out of favor, but a new cookbook by Peter DiMario and Judith Choate declares that gelatin is back. Jiggle! includes modernized recipes for sweet, savory and layered dishes, such as Grandma's Ambrosia and Watermelon Margarita Bites. In today's episode, DiMario talks with Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes about the origins of gelatin, how to achieve the perfect suspension, and the fun of updating gelatin dishes with fresh ingredients and flavors.

World famous Minnesota architect, author, professional cabinologist and human delight Dale Mulfinger sits down to discuss everything from what makes a cabin a cabin, to why we bond better surrounded by wood, Scandinavian hygge-ness, where to situate windows, cabin history, horror flicks and vacation activities.
