Everything Everywhere Daily - The Vikings

One of the most feared groups of people from the 8th to the 11th centuries was the Vikings. 

The Vikings stuck fear into the hearts of people all around coastal Europe. They could appear like a bolt out of the blue to raid and pillage villages. 

Yet the Vikings were more than mindless pillagers. They were also explorers and traders and had a much more vibrant culture than how they appeared in popular culture. 

Learn more about the Vikings and how they impacted the course of civilization on his episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Planet Money - The potato-shaped loophole in free trade

Ever since free trade opened up between the US and Mexico in the 1990s, trillions of dollars of goods have been going back and forth between the two countries, from cars to strawberries to MRI machines to underwear. But one major exception has been fresh American potatoes.

Today on the show, we tell the trade saga of the American potato. For more than 25 years, there was a place that American potatoes could not go to freely. A place that the entire American potato industry was desperate to access. A vast, untapped market: Mexico.

But standing in their way – the Mexican potato lobby and a trade loophole.

This episode was hosted by Erika Beras and Jeff Guo. It was produced by Willa Rubin and edited by Meg Cramer. It was fact-checked by Sierra Juarez. Engineering by Cena Loffredo. Alex Goldmark is Planet Money's executive producer.

1A - The News Roundup For January 3, 2025

President Jimmy Carter died this week at 100, the first president to reach his centenary birthday.

A truck plowed into crowds in the early hours of New Years Day in New Orleans, killing 15 and injuring dozens more. The driver was killed following an exchange of fire with police.

Overseas, a South Korean court approved an arrest warrant for impeached and President Yoon Suk Yeol over his ill-fated attempt to impose martial law on the country in late 2024.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that he believes the war his country is fighting to repel a Russian invasion will be over after President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

World Health Organization officials are urging Israeli authorities to cease attacking medical facilities in Gaza.

We cover all this and more during the News Roundup.

The Gist - Posthumous Presidential Reappraisals

Services honoring former President Jimmy Carter begin this weekend. We assess his legacy, explore which presidents have rewritten history from the grave, and discuss the growing trend of historians being asked to act as present-day pundits with Lindsay Chervinsky, Executive Director of the George Washington Presidential Library and co-editor of Mourning the Presidents: Loss and Legacy in American Culture. Plus, as incidents of people being pushed in front of subways increase, one transit activist has proposed a solution so unconventional it just might work—or almost certainly make things worse.
