Everything Everywhere Daily - The Kokoda Track

In July 1942, Japanese forces landed on the north shore of the island of New Guinea 

Their goal was to cross the island by land and take the strategic city of Port Moresby. 


If they had been successful, the entire fate of the war in the Pacific would have altered. 

They didn’t take it, thanks to the tenacious resistance put up by Australian forces. 

Learn more about the Kokoda Track and how it turned the war in the Pacific on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Revisiting ‘Gone Girl’

Amy and Nick Dunn have the perfect life and are the perfect couple until they reach a breaking point, revealing their true selves.

Parker are joined by Greta Johnsen to divulge how this suspense thriller continuously brings fans back to this story. Special guest, Andrea Bartz, shares how being from the Midwest, like Flynn, is your best tool to write a mystery.

Greta’s Recommendation: ‘Fates and Furies’ by Lauren Groff

Parker’s Recommendation: ‘My Sister, the Serial Killer’ by Oyinkan Braithwaite

Andrew’s Recommendation: ‘Liars’ by Sarah Manguso
