Everything Everywhere Daily - The Plum Pudding Riots and the Puritan War on Christmas

Christmas is the time of year for getting together with loved ones, celebrating, and giving gifts. 

As a song says, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.”

Nobody could possibly dislike Christmas, right?

Well, some people don’t like Christmas, and historically, some people really don’t like Christmas.

In fact, in 17th century England, they actually banned Christmas….and that did not go over well. 

Learn more about the Plum Pudding Riots and the Puritan War on Christmas on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

1A - How Reforestation Efforts Could Be The Key To Fighting Climate Change

Most of us know that trees can help reduce the impacts of climate change by taking in carbon dioxide.

Most of us also know that scientists and environmental authorities have been sounding alarms for the better part of the last decade about the devastating effects of climate change.

Could trees store enough carbon, with a lot of help from us, to offset humanity's carbon emissions? What's the role of trees in our fight against climate change? And what's better left to other climate solutions?

We talk to an author whose new book explores whether or not serious reforestation efforts can really be an effective solution to reducing the carbon in our atmosphere.

Short Wave - How Does An Airplane Stay In The Air?

There are many statistics out there that prove that flying on a commercial airplane is safe, that plane crashes are overall pretty unlikely. Still, up to an estimated 40% of Americans feel some fear at the thought of flying. So, amid the travel rush of the holiday season, we ask MIT aeronautical engineer Mark Drela: How does a plane lift off and stay up in the air?

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Dylan Goes Electric!’ is the book behind Timothée Chalamet’s new Bob Dylan biopic

The Newport Folk Festival is an annual music festival that's been hosted in Newport, Rhode Island, since the 1950s. Bob Dylan, who was considered folk music's then-reigning king, performed at the festival in 1965 where he made the controversial decision to play the electric guitar. This is the focus of Elijah Wald's 2015 book, Dylan Goes Electric! which has been adapted into the film A Complete Unknown, starring Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan. In today's episode, we revisit a 2015 conversation between Wald and NPR's Arun Rath where they talk about Dylan's decision to play that guitar, electrifying the folk faithful.
