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.

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.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Electrical Grid

The modern world runs on electricity. That isn’t a throwaway statement. If we take away electricity, our modern civilization will quickly fall apart.

The power that runs the modern world is dependent on a very technical, and in some cases very fragile, network of electrical generation, transmission, and consumption. 

These electrical networks can be as small as a city or as large as a continent. 

Learn more about the electrical grid, how it works and how may change in the future on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In new memoir, Angela Merkel details her time as Germany’s first woman chancellor

Angela Merkel served as Chancellor of Germany through a number of global challenges: a pandemic, a migrant crisis and military aggression. But she also had to consider dilemmas that were specific to being the first and only woman to hold her position. The former chancellor reflects on this experience, her rise to power and her political record in a new memoir, Freedom. In today's episode, Merkel speaks with NPR's Mary Louise Kelley through a translator. They discuss going toe-to-toe with leaders like Vladimir Putin, what a second Trump term means for U.S. diplomacy, and whether Merkel sees herself as a feminist.
