Everything Everywhere Daily - Autogyros

We are all familiar with things that fly in the air. Hot air balloons, dirigibles, blimps, airplanes, and helicopters.

However, there is another category of flying craft that most people aren’t familiar with. It isn’t an airplane, and it isn’t a helicopter. It actually lies somewhere in between. 

By combining parts of both, it has some amazing properties that neither one has. 

Learn more about the autogyro, what it is, and how it works, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Indicator from Planet Money - The secret to Nintendo’s success

Nintendo has been a titan in the video game industry for decades, but that wasn't always the case. At its very core, Nintendo sees itself as a toy company which is evident in its products from the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) to the Nintendo Switch 2.

Today on the show, we explore Nintendo's history and examine how a small playing card company in Japan became a multimedia giant.

NPR's Book of the Day - As prime minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern juggled leadership and motherhood

In 2017, Jacinda Ardern was sitting in a bathroom waiting to learn two things: whether she was going to be the prime minister of New Zealand – and whether she was pregnant. Ardern became only the second person in history to give birth while holding elected office at the top of government. And as prime minister, she had few people to turn to for advice on balancing the challenges of motherhood with leading a country. In today's episode, Ardern joins NPR's Mary Louise Kelly for a conversation about her new memoir A Different Kind of Power. They discuss what it was like to be a young woman running a country, the way Ardern has experienced parental guilt inside and outside of her political career, and how she knew when it was time to leave office.
