Everything Everywhere Daily - March Madness

Every March, the United States experiences a period known as March Madness.  It is the time when college basketball teams compete for a national championship. 


The process of crowning a national champion is a months-long process where teams vie for a chance to make the national tournament. 


From there, in theory, every team that makes the big dance has a shot at becoming a champion. All you have to do is win five, or maybe six, consecutive games. 


Learn more about March Madness and how the NCAA Basketball tournament works on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Rahul Rao, “The Psychic Lives of Statues: Reckoning with the Rubble of Empire” (Pluto Press, 2025)

From Cape Town to Bristol and Richmond, statues have become sites of resistance and contestation of our imperial past and postcolonial present. The Psychic Lives of Statues by Rahul Rao offers an insightful exploration of these global controversies, demonstrating that beneath their surface lie deeper struggles over race, caste, and the politics of decolonisation.

Rao takes readers on a journey through South Africa, England, the US, Ghana, India, Australia, and Scotland, revealing how statue controversies have dramatically rearranged the canon of anticolonial political thought. By examining these debates through a personal and literary lens, Rao addresses the multifaceted issues of justice, cultural memory, and belonging.

The Psychic Lives of Statues (Pluto Press, 2025) examines both the toppling of colonial statues and the raising of postcolonial ones, demonstrating that the statue form as a medium of representation and a bid for immortality is by no means obsolete. Engaging with artists, scholars, and activists, Rao provides fresh perspectives on how societies grapple with and reinterpret the past and present through iconography.

About the Author: 

Rahul Rao is a Reader in International Political Thought in the School of International Relations at the University of St Andrews, and Professorial Research Associate at SOAS University of London. He is the author of two books – Third World Protest: Between Home and the World (2010) and Out of Time: The Queer Politics of Postcoloniality (2020), both published by Oxford University Press. He is a member of the Radical Philosophy editorial collective.

About the Host: 

Stuti Roy has recently graduated with an MPhil in Modern South Asian Studies from the University of Oxford.
