Everything Everywhere Daily - The Knuckleball

In the game of baseball, it might not seem at first glance that there is much strategy involved in the game. 


However, there is an enormous amount of strategy that goes into every pitch in the game. 


Pitchers have different pitches in their repertoire, which can rise, fall, and curve on their way to the batter in an attempt to fool the batter. 


However, there is one pitch which is unlike any other. It is so challenging that only a tiny percentage of pitchers in history have ever thrown it.


Learn more about the knuckleball, how it works and why it is so rare on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson on How Democrats Can Build Their Way Back to Power

In their new book, Abundance, journalists Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson argue that Trump's scarcity mindset is suffocating the country: America doesn’t do enough manufacturing? Better cut back on trade. Not enough jobs or housing? Get rid of immigrants.Klein and Thompson sit down with Jon to explain how faster (and better) infrastructure projects can re-engage Democrats’ base, why tolerating government failure has made liberals look bad, and whether the accusations of neoliberalism that have been levied at the book are a fair criticism of the "abundance agenda."

More or Less: Behind the Stats - What?s Trump?s problem with Canada?

Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours, and since the end of the Second World War that?s exactly what the US and Canada have been. They?ve enjoyed free trade agreements, close knit economic ties - and not so friendly ice hockey matches. But recently this relationship has soured, with President Trump calling them ?one of the nastiest countries to deal with?. It looks like the era of mostly free trade is over, with a raft of tariffs set to come into force on April the 2nd, or ?liberation day? a Donald Trump calls it. But is President Trump right about the trading relationship between the two countries? What does he mean when he claims that ?the US subsidises Canada $200 billion a year??
