Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of the Tomato (Encore)
One of the most popular foods in the world is tomatoes.
Tomatoes are grown almost everywhere in the world today, and they have become the basis of several international cuisines.
However, just a few hundred years ago, very few people were eating tomatoes as we know them today.
In fact, even after they were cultivated, there were people terrified to actually eat them.

Engines of Our Ingenuity - The Engines of Our Ingenuity 1311: The Cistercians
Episode: 1311 The Cistercian order, power technology, and innovation. Today, let's talk about monks and waterwheels.
Everything Everywhere Daily - Gnosticism
In the first and second centuries, a Christian sect found a wide following throughout the Roman world.
They weren’t your normal run-of-the-mill Christians. They had beliefs that were nothing like those of any Christian sect today, and they drew the ire of many Christian leaders at the time.
What we knew about them was limited to the writings of their critics until a stunning find in the mid-20th century shed new light on them.
Learn more about Gnosticism and the Gnostics, their beliefs, and the reaction to them on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Indicator from Planet Money - What’s going on with men’s labor force participation?
It's the first Jobs Friday of the new year, and there's good news!
The unemployment rate ticked down slightly to 4.1%, and the economy added 256,000 jobs. So, for the last month of 2024, the jobs market finished pretty strong.
Today on the show, we look at the indicators from this month's jobs report that give us a snapshot of where our economy's headed. We look at how men are potentially reversing a decades-long trend of declining labor force participation, how people who are unemployed are staying that way for longer and how a lot of Americans saw their wages rise in 2024.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘No Place to Bury the Dead’, ‘The Hunter’ ask what lengths you’ll go for others
Two novels explore the way that violence and loss can ripple across a village, town – or even entire countries. First, in Karina Sainz Borgo's No Place to Bury the Dead, a plague that causes amnesia runs rampant across an unnamed Latin American country. One mother's flight brings her to a border-town cemetery that operates on disputed land. In today's episode, Borgo joins NPR's Elissa Nadworny for a conversation that touches on the importance of death rituals, the myth of Antigone, and a real-life cemetery that exists along the border between Venezuela and Colombia. Then, Tana French has described her novels The Searcher and its sequel, The Hunter, as her take on the American Western. The novels follow Cal Hooper, a retired Chicago police officer who moves to rural Ireland. In The Hunter, the life Cal has built in Ardnakelty is complicated by an unexpected arrival. In today's episode, French speaks with Here & Now's Chris Bentley about her interest in writing from an outsider's perspective, the tension between blood and chosen family, and the particular experience of life in a small town.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Ultraviolet Catastrophe and the Creation of Quantum Mechanics
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, there was a problem that stumped even the best minds in physics.
Eventually, one man, Max Planck, solved the problem, but his solution was one that was out of left field. While the math worked, he didn’t actually believe that the mathematics explained reality.
It turned out his discovery was more true than he realized and it ushed in a revolution in the world of physics that completely changed our view of nature and reality.
Learn more about the ultraviolet catastrophe and the birth of quantum mechanics on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Curious City - Chicago history is full of consequential years
When it comes to picking the most consequential year in Chicago’s history, 1919 rises to the top for many historians because of how the race riots that year had a big impact on how the city segregates itself. But our experts agree that picking one pivotal year in the city’s history is impossible. Of course, years like 1871 or 1893 stand out for the Great Chicago Fire and the World’s Columbian Exposition. But what about important moments for civil rights and women’s rights? What about arts and culture? Hop inside the time machine as we explore other key years in Chicago’s rich history.
